I’m not sure if it’s my device or something on MTGA’s end, but ever since the Avatar: The Last Airbender set dropped this week, the game has been extremely unstable for me. I’ve been running into constant server connectivity issues and getting booted out of matches mid-game. Because of that, I’m forced to forfeit, which tanks my rank and makes climbing feel like an uphill battle.

On top of that, the game went into maintenance right after the Avatar set released—and it’s still buggy. The avatar I purchased shows up everywhere except in matches, where it displays a completely different one I don’t even own. Sometimes the playmat visuals become distorted during games. Other times the deck-building menu won’t let me back out of it at all. It’s frustrating and really takes away from the experience, especially when I’ve been waiting so patiently for this crossover.

I know the team behind the scenes is working hard to iron out issues and improve the game, but I can’t pretend I’m not disappointed. I was genuinely excited for this release, and the state of the client right now is a letdown.

P.S. I really hope more crossover sets come to Arena—old and new. Sonic, TMNT, The Walking Dead, Marvel, PlayStation… all of it. Granted i only played breifly back in the day but still the crossovers are actually what brought me back to MTG after years away from the physical cards, so I’m beyond excited to see what comes next.
