Shuffle Algorithm in Arena (Will no longer play Arena)
I LOVE mtg, i enjoy playing the formats i do, i love collecting the cards. However, MTG arena makes me fking hate wizards with a passion. Although a gorgeous platform to play magic, it is by far the fking worst for these reasons.
The shuffle algorithm is fking garbage and with evidence from players that took the time to do the analyst, idk how wizards could ever come up with an excuse for such a **** algo. And im not making this up, it fking sucks. It makes the game borderline cancerous and easily makes anyone playing dislike the game as a whole. I lose games cause the algorithm feeds me 10 mana when in reality that doesn't happen.
There is no real way to collect cards and a good deck unless you fork over cash. Now YES you gotta pay for magic to play magic, but the difference is. I spend 90 bucks on MTG online to build a good pioneer deck and those cards are mine and i can resell them. These cards have no value on Arena and you have to spend twice as much to get 3 times less.
The formats are not balanced at all. For example; historic feels like inbetween pioneer and modern, but has cards that honestly are banned in both....so if you're not playing the deck with the most toxic cards, YOURE NOT PLAYING.
4, There seems to be no communication from the dev team to the community. In fact my feedback will go unheard and will collect dust in this ******** excuse of a forum. Never to be heard and never to be cared for but by players that come here to complain. This is the kind of **** which makes me lose faith in wizards. 2013 was peak magic....never will we go back to those days...
