Fix the shuffling algorithm or remove the paywall filter that handicaps non-paying players
Fix the shuffling algorithm or remove the paywall filter that handicaps non-paying players. It’s very annoying to run a 60 card mono deck with 36 spells and 24 lands and pull one or less lands and have to Mulligan two or three times every hand. I’ve played Magic for over 30 years and I’ve never had this issue in real life if this was happening to me and I was putting money into this game I would be extremely mad which is why I propose the question and suggestion

You are taking the highly flawed manual shuffles of paper Magic as basis, that is your big mistake. Manual shuffles are HIGHLY biased towards the mean in terms of land distribution within the shuffled deck. What you are experiencing on Arena is actual uniform distribution, where outliers happen with the frequency they should.
Second, the number of your paper Magic games pales in comaprision to how many games you play on Arenas, by several orders of magnitude. The law of large numbers applies, and so unlikely events happen often in regards to time spent. They happen with the expected frequency in regards to number of games played.
Third, human memory is highly flawed and yours is no exception. You remember the extremes, and of those the negative ones far better, while ignoring the large amount of average draws, which far outnumber the extremes.
