hacking and cheating
mtg has horrible cheating / hacking in the game which is evident by the tons of complaints. stop ignoring them. you need an easy way to report players in-game by clicking on their name after the game with a match history. then a report cheating / hacking option with a comment option.
it's obviously cheating when - everytime - we play against the swamp arden / vargsgoth deck, they get a way to discard the card in the first 4 turns. they - always - have a arden or vargsgoth everytime. then they -always- have a zombify 4th turn. it's total ******** cheating / hacking. you need to fix these problems and make a better reporting system.

I can't comment on specific cheating, but it would be quite do-able to enable a 'report conduct' button such that both client's logfiles and the relevant server-side session information would automatically be uploaded to WotC for analysis.
To avoid spamming, give each player only a few (1-3?) report-player incidents available during a 24 hour period.
Honestly, I can only think of maaaaybe experiencing overt cheating/exploit play a handful of times over the course of the past few months. By far, the biggest moderation issue is deliberate delay of play i.e. "roping".
There are 4 players on my 'personal ban list' (atm) who I do feel are running a "visibility exploit", but I can't "know" that for a fact so I don't feel it would be ethical to report them. I simply no longer play with them. Keep in mind this is only 4 players who I consider 'overt & consistent exploit cheaters' over the course of years of Arena play.
I have over 85 players on the same list that consistently and deliberately rope. I no longer play with them either.
