Unexpected Disconnect Bug on Quick Draft
During the second match of a quick draft whilst playing on PC using the MTGA client, I got a 'Waiting for Server' pop up. It was the other player's second turn and they'd just played their second land. Once the pop up went the match continued as if the other player had timed out but then froze once their 30 second countdown ended. Eventually re-launched the client to find it's been unfairly recorded as a loss against me meaning meaning I'm one step closer to being unable to progress my prize tracker through no fault of my own.

Some things to note:
1) When Arena pops up the "connecting to server" message it is EXTREMELY RARE that it will actually reconnect you, even if that screen goes away.
2) If the rope timer ends and the match doesn't continue it means that you have lost your connection to the game server.
3) If you ever have any indication that you've lost connection to the server, the best thing to do is to immediately close and reopen the game to reconnect.
