Can’t sideboard
I’ve been playing bo3 Timeless matches on iPad and I am unable to sideboard at all between games after the latest patch. I click on cards in my sideboard to add them and it doesn’t add them. After game 1 I am sometimes able to sideboard normally, but never after game 2. Sometimes I’m able to remove cards from the deck but I’m unable to add any back in, even the ones I’d just removed. When this happens all I can do is restart MTGA, which doesn’t fix the problem but it at least resets my deck to 60 cards again so I can submit a legal deck and don’t need to wait for the timer to tick down. I’ve been unable to replicate the conditions that cause this to occur or not, but I’d say most of the time I am unable to sideboard after game 1 and never after game 2, and sideboardinggmae 1 seems to be broken more often than it works. I’ve mostly been playing decks with Lurrus as my companion, but I’ve also run into this problem with a Yorion companion.

This happened to me THREE TIMES while playing on Windows 11! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE for the love of God FIX THIS. nothing sucks more than knowing you've got a solid sideboard plan against a specific deck, only to be COMPLETELY UNABLE to add or remove cards from my dang sideboard, clicking furiously to no avail. FIX THIS!!!

Seems this bug is back, I got hit with it twice tonight in bo4 standard games, It just refuses to allow me to sideboard at all, Try restarting etc but it wont let me at all. Not sure where they are investing there money but its not in Arena or making it work properly.

Exactly, this is what I was going to mention. Have it fixed ASAP, it's been around for quite some time!

This is still happening to me. Like 1 in every 5 games. Android and PC. I'm about ready to stop playing Arena.

I have the same issue. Can't add sideboard in bo3 games. Once you submit, the game locks, removes your sideboarded cards and times you out unless you restart the game.
If you restart the game, the sideboard is still locked and can't add any card, but you can remove cards from the maindeck. If you do, you will have to restart because you won't be able to enter the 2nd match... so.. is *********...

I can't sideboard in best of three metagame challenge. Costing me huge here as I can't lose a match to do well and also cannot side in good cards so I'm left with dead removal against a deck with no use.

I feel like this is happening consistently to me when I have Jegantha as my companion but add in a card that would make it illegal for that companion deck building restrictions. It locks me out of the deck editor and just runs the clock out
