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.
