suggestion
I would like to express deeply to implement a match chatting system, I understand that you may not have this for reasons of say inappropriate language or phrasing etc. if thats the reason i may suggest putting filters in the chat so that if inappropriate language is used, it will get deleted or muted and can give the user a warning. but i would like a chat box for a match so that way we can communicate and let the other person know that we are not roping them, the servers or the internet went down, since the match continues when off line and cause what may look like us roping the opponent when in reality we are just offline due to loss of internet connection or the mtg arena servers are down, something to that nature.

To DAC169, inherent in the utility of a full text chat is the ability to mute the chat so you wouldn't be giving up anything.
As it stands, I have "mute emotes" on by default. The only time I ever unmute is to see the animations of new companions. ;)

I hard disagree. The only time I ever see anyone use the "emote" phrases or stickers is to be toxic. No way in **** am I dealing with this toxic player-base with a full text chat.

I hard agree. I had to quit a few games last week when the sound completely bugged out and a few handfuls of games in prior patches when either graphic glitches made the board inaccurate and/or unreadable or it completely stopped responding reliably to mouse inputs.
It would've been great to simply say something like "glitched out, restarting, back in 1 minute".
If you're concerned about "language", aside from basic profanity filters, you can also log some sampling of chat for moderation review as all the big streaming platforms do.
All of this stuff is both bog-standard commodity moderation policies and bog-standard commodity tech these days and its "lack of" in Arena shows a very low commitment and funding bar by WotC to this platform's success.
