Fix the ridiculous Algo’s!
The Algorithms used for Shuffle and/or Draw on MTG Arena are worse than ever. It’s becoming unplayable. You can continue to claim ‘randomness’ in the Draw’s encouragement but frankly at this point, I’m more likely to win a Lottery… Twice… on the same **** ticket than see even 3 games of Arena in a row that feel even close to genuine. Yes, it’s possible that I draw 7mana and then Mulligan into 6mana+ 1 Creature/Support but on what planet are you trying to claim that this is actually going to happen… ITS AT LEAST 25% of Games > I’ve played MTG TableTop for years and have not once witnessed a 7 into a 6… Thousands of Games, NOT ONCE!
Also, Cards like ‘Random Encounter’ or ‘United Battlefront’… how is that my Opponent plays a Random Encounter and hits 4 of 4 > A 100% MAXIMUM PAYOUT 3 GAMES STRAIGHT
I play a United Battlefront and hit 0 of 7 > TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s not enough that WotC have destroyed the value of MTG via disgusting economy IRL and on Arena… it’s not enough that WotC have destroyed the Heritage and Original Vision of MTG by cascading us with the drivel of these pathetic Out of Universe sets…
Now you’re actively destroying the very mechanics of the Game.
Arena ‘Meta’s’ are NOT the same as IRL Builds > You are forcing a ‘Meta’ situation that demands 32 Removal + 4 Cards that actually play the, (almost totally,) damned Game.
It’s also plain to see that spending Real Money on Arena actively influences the success rate of your Games over a short period > At what point does the damage being caused to MtG become Criminal?
Please fix…no… PLEASE SAVE IT
