shuffler
Fix your Shuffler Arena. I am so sick and tired of the insane game swings of one game getting completely mana screwed and the very next game getting completely flooded. It never fails. If lose for bad plays on my own part, fine. But I am so **** tired of losing because of severe mana ***** or flood. FIX. YOUR. SHUFFLER.

Three games in a row back to back where my limited deck of 23 spells and 17 lands ends up with at least a 2:1 ratio of lands to spells throughout the course of the game. This is functionally impossible to reproduce in paper and is a symptom of some awful code for the game that determines the order of the cards in my deck. Please fix this. The image shown is me getting 16 out of the 17 lands in my deck, even through a Prismatic Undercurrents on turn 4 to get 5 lands. I had 8 spells and 16 lands, leaving one single land in my deck and 15 spells left. This is unacceptable.

I see many comments below regarding this too! So many games I can’t participate because I either get all lands or no lands! And this is playing games in a row. That’s not possible with a good algorithm to prevent that. PLEASE FIX IT!

I just lost 1500 gems in a draft because I drew nothing but lands for the first 2 games and only 2 lands for 5 turns in the 3rd game.. I could not even play magic at all. What is your randomizer doing? I would understand if it was just one game, but 3 games in a row for me is crazy.
What is the point of joining events on MTGA if the randomizer just messes up your game like this?

When changing deck format after creation, format list appears behind other list, and not able to change format type.

I agree with this bug report 100%
the people having made this descision to put this into code and those actually implementing it should be publicly named, shamed and fired. I played enough paper magic to make my own mulligan descisions and i do not want to have to be force fed shuffler "hand smoothing" bovine scatology. -

I just threw a draft token out of the window with a killer deck because I lost 2 consecutive games to the shuffler. Both games I had like 10 lands in the first 15 cards. I feel like I'm getting scammed. These tokens aren't cheap, I draft a killer then then I have to exit an event 2-3 because 2 consecutive losses out of 3 are to mana flood.
Here is the draft replay:

Po opravdu náročném dni, kdy mě práce a stres úplně vyčerpaly, jsem cítil potřebu si odpočinout a najít něco, co mě zabaví a zvedne náladu. Narazil jsem na https://roll-dorado.cz, kde hráči z České mají speciální bonusy, a stáhl jsem si aplikaci, abych vyzkoušel různé možnosti. Na začátku jsem měl několik neúspěšných pokusů, které mě trochu znechutily, ale pak přišla větší výhra a pocit radosti a vzrušení byl nepopsatelný. Od té doby sem chodím pravidelně, protože mi to poskytuje možnost hrát kdykoliv a relaxovat, a bonusy pro hráče z České dělají celou zkušenost ještě zajímavější a motivující. Doporučuji každému, kdo hledá zábavu s možností výhry.

This game is garbage and so is Magic itself anymore. The designs are terrible, they make unbalanced cards and force rigged garbage shufflers. They force alchemy onto people to force buy more packs. This game is garbage and the employees are trash.

This game is run by a bunch of greedy ******* and they should all be killed. Cheating pieces of **** who are a bunch of greedy rich ********. Avatar set is dogshit and I hope whatever ****** thought these cards were "good" for the health of the game dies in a car crash and his children choke to death.

These employees should do the world a favor and hang themselves. Trash company with trash outsourced employees. I hope every single employee dies in a house fire and smoke inhalation like the trash they are.

I found a workaround through the Decks page that allows us to change the Deck Details when we click on the closed Deck. I too, want the other way back so that I can change it while deck is open, before I save changes ;-(

This is a top priority for me. This is the only game I drop money into, and it's frustrating that something that was automatic, now doesn't work.

1. I try to change a Pioneer deck to an Alchemy
2. Using a PC platform
3. When I click the Pioneer deck button the drop down menu is behind the other statistic information boxes
4. I used to be able to switch deck types and then change the illegal cards out to deck type legal

Please stop choosing color combinations for Shield. Or provide completely random options. If you choose colors at the beginning, it can be difficult to use other colors. I understand that Shield is about having fun building a deck from a random pool of cards. In exchange for making decks easier for beginners to build, you're reducing the appeal of Shield. Thank you. (I'm using translation software, so I apologize if it's difficult to read.)

Doubling Season not affecting the loylaty abilities of planeswalkers is not a bug, it's how the card is worded. Activating a plus loyalty ability adds counters as a acost, not as an effect, and thus DS does not apply. You do not know the rules as well as you think you do, apparently.

As a long time Magic player, I find Arena to be the worst MTG digital product ever made and that includes the PS1 game. When a game is so broken that the support staff has to constantly assure the players that things are working as intended, that's a problem. Broken shuffler, broken match maker, the servers are as stable as a tweeker looking for their next fix, the player base is either netdecking or they get mana screwed. There's no quality of life features at all. No way to choose what level of gameplay you're after. The digital packs have 8 cards vs the physical packs having 15. The really astonishing part is, digital packs cost as much as the physical packs. You get robbed of 7 cards for the same price. Sparky is braindead and refuses to block lethal damage with a valid blocker on the field. Effects don't work as the cards state. For example, Doubling Season. Planeswalkers will enter with twice the loyalty counters, but, Doubling Season will not put twice the counters on them when their + abilities are used. Protection sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't. I've been playing Magic since 1993. I'm beyond familiar with how the rules work. This has gone from a game I used to enjoy to an incredibly foul facsimile of a game I used to enjoy. There's no fun to be had on Arena. When the game itself asks if you had fun during a match, that's indicative of them knowing the game isn't fun. They do nothing to deal with the problems that exist in the game. Legacy cards that are banned are sometimes legal in games, and sometimes not. I somehow came into 4 Lightning Bolts that I can't add to a deck without burning mythic rare wild cards. Same with the Dark Rituals that I pulled from packs. What is going on with that?
Rant over.

There are a lot of players complaining about unusual land draw, that I have experience myself. I have had games where I drew 12 lands in a row (not including the lands in hand from initial draw), and the other player seemed to have had the same issue. Do not dismiss this as a rant or an angry player venting but take it serious enough to hear me out and to do something about this.
Of course, you are using a computational process or ADM's (automated decision making) of some sort. These algorithms get out of control and repeat patterns, that's what happens; I won't go further into this. To make this short and to get to the point, I suggest giving us the power to "shuffle" our decks before any game play. Create a button that will randomize our deck before game play and allow this "process" to happen before a battle is loaded. This may also free up start up memory. Also, this would get us off your backs for ignoring a problem you have procrastinated on since a couple of years after Arena's launch.
Understand, what is "new" (like AI) does not mean it's good. Please take this advice and create a new process, before losing more players to this problem. I've noticed this problem gets worse every year i come back and play, so you DO have an issue with your process. This could easily be a ploy to make people lose so they can spend more or kick them out of something so they can buy more to reenter, which is an old tactic but very transparent. Please, don't let this game get this way, don't turn it into a scam.

The game seems to have an issue with the random shuffler, as by sheer mathematics it is extremely improbable that I can't seem to draw a 4th land after 9 turns, with a 60 card deck with 24 lands. I have played about 20 games in the last week and since the update there seems to be an issue where it will not work with any Blue & White deck.
