• Steps to reproduce the bug

Play any MTG Arena match (constructed or event).

Experience a brief connection hiccup or momentary network instability.

Instead of receiving the usual “Reconnect” screen, the client immediately exits the match and returns to the event screen.

Attempting to re‑enter the match from the event screen is not possible.

• Platform

Windows 11 PC

• Actual results

When a short disconnection occurs, the client drops out of the active match and sends the player back to the event screen.

The game does not offer a reconnect option.

This can happen repeatedly within a short timeframe even though the internet connection remains active.

• Expected results

The client should display the “Reconnect” screen and automatically return the player to the ongoing match without leaving the event interface.

• Screenshots/videos

• Workaround

Manually launch a second instance of MTG Arena.

When the new instance starts, it detects the ongoing match and reconnects to it.

This workaround causes a significant delay due to the full client startup time.
