Cloned Starter Decks get stuck on “Waiting for the server” when trying to edit them
When trying to edit cloned Starter Decks, the game gets stuck indefinitely on the “Waiting for the server” screen.
Platform: PC / Windows
Steps to reproduce:
- Open MTG Arena.
- Go to the Decks section.
- Select any Starter Deck.
- Clone the Starter Deck.
- Try to edit the cloned deck.
- Observe that the client shows “Waiting for the server” and remains stuck with an infinite loading spinner.
Actual result:
The game stays indefinitely on the “Waiting for the server” screen. The loading spinner never finishes, and the deck editor does not open.
Expected result:
The cloned Starter Deck should open normally in the deck editor, allowing the player to modify and save the deck.
Additional information:
This issue only happens with cloned Starter Decks. I tested editing other imported decks, and those decks can be edited normally without getting stuck. The issue appears to be isolated to Starter Decks after cloning them.
Workaround:
I have not found a reliable workaround so far, other than avoiding editing cloned Starter Decks and using other imported/custom decks instead.
