Stuck in Match-making queue "Waiting for opponent"
I was attempting to queue up for a Competitive Brawl match. The queue was taking a long time to find an opponent, but the "cancel" button was no longer on-screen. I ALT+F4 to force close MTG arena, re-opened MTG arena and was immediately back in the match-making queue with the message "Waiting for opponent" displayed. I force closed the game again waited about 15 minutes, re-opened MTG arena and I was still stuck in the match-making queue.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Competitive Brawl matchmaking
2. Alt+F4 to force close MTG arena while in matchmaking queue
3. Relaunch MTG arena
4. Still stuck in matchmaking queue "waiting for opponent"

Is there any info on a fix or update yet? I've been dealing with this on Android since 6 a.m. cst. I can get back to the arena home screen by hitting the home screen on my phone, opening another app (chrome, messages, settings, etc.) then pulling arena back up and it kicks me back to home screen. But any format I try to find a match goes back to ever loading "finding opponent"

For those who are still stuck in matchmaking purgatory, try this:
1. Use the "Sign out everywhere" feature found on your WotC account page.
2. After being signed out of everything, I recommend waiting 30 minutes to an hour before attempting to sign back in to MTG Arena.This is what I did to resolve the issue. Hopefully this helps, or WotC is able to resolve the issue on their end.
May my fellow brothers and sisters find their way through matchmaking purgatory and join us once more upon the battlefield!

Same issue. I was able to play 2 or 3 matches in BO1 Standard. After that, the game has been stuck on the "Waiting for Opponent" screen for 2+ hours. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. No change. I am playing on iOS.

Literally can't play the game at all anymore. You'd think this bug would be the top priority right now. I suppose I could just quit playing Arena in general now.

Game loaded in normal this morning after having the issue yesterday. I was able to play 2 matches, but when trying to load a third the issue came back again. Now I'm stuck with no way to cancel the match finding screen. One thing I've noticed is that everyone's commented images show the Phyrexian language loading screen it seems.
