rigged
Game is a 100% rigged
THIS IS A PAY TO WIN SYSTEM WAIZARDS HAVE IMPLEMENTED!!!! PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
You pay with money to buy data and in return you get better odds in every match you play for a period of time till it ends and you pay more and repeat the cycle. The algorithm is rigged with match making/card draw/ starting hands and several others. Decks that have a 70-90% chance of win on tabletop is a 20% chance to win in Arena unless you pay for more data as a rigged cash cow! F-you, Wizards made me quite the game not only on Arena but also on paper. THANK YOU WIZARDS FOR CHEATING AT YOUR OWN GAME AND LOOSING A LONG TERM CUSTMERS/FAN. I'm selling everything I own that's Wizards related and cashing out from poor management in game development in the recent years. F-you!!!Game is a 100% rigged

Sparky needs upgrade, difficulty levels, and more
I play Sparky to get a feel for my decks, but the vs-AI mode could be a fun, more challenging aspect to Arena. There is really a lot of untapped potential here. Here are some thoughts.
- Give Sparky more recent cards. Maybe from the recent beginner decks. The cards feel underpowered and dated. It just isn’t challenging playing with the most recent cards against Sparky’s older sets. I have noticed that the programming only allows it to play cards that have direct interactions (for example, Pacifism on one of my creatures). It is not programmed to play cards with activated or triggered abilities. This limits its card pool and ability for more realistic, clever play. Sparky will never be able to play a Planeswalker in its current state, for example.
- Give Sparky difficulty settings. For example, give Sparky really good tournament decks from the most recent event and that would be the “hard” setting. Such decks would also be fun to play against with our own decks. This would also make the AI evergreen.
- Make Sparky smarter. Sparky had me beat, when it had two attacking cards vs 1 defender; it dropped a +2/+2 white card on the attacker who was blocked, probably because it is programmed to do so. It did successfully take out my lone defender this way. However, the problem is that it should have used the buff card on the unblocked attacker to take me to zero and win the game, as any good human opponent would have likely done.
- Change Sparky to give the AIs differently personalities and playstyles. Chess.com is a good example of how this can be done. Each AI player has different emotes, which would add some variety and charm. Maybe make them Planeswalkers.
- Sparky is particularly bad at endgame scenarios. For example, if I am leading in health, it will attack me with all of its creatures, doing damage certainly, but doing so leaves it completely open to a game-winning attack on my turn. It should learn to block in such situations.
- When Sparky wins, it is noticeably because I got mana screwed, or drew all forests in a green-white deck. I guess this can happen to Sparky as well?

Better Bot Matches
Has anyone considered being able to select different levels of difficulty for Bot Matches. For example, one option would be for players to be able to select a level of difficulty up to the current level they have attained (e.g. Silver, Gold, etc.)
When experimenting with different decks and card combinations against the Bot, playing an opponent at a similar level would give a better indication of what is likely to be competitive against real opponents.31 votes -

deathtouch + "deals damage equal to creature's power" is broken
I've now played 3 games against decks using this exploit, which is not (I believe) cards as intended.
Effects that read "deals damage equal to creature's power" like Ram Through and Devouring Tendrils should NOT read for the player's creature's deathtouch, it should just deal damage equal to the number in the box.
deathtouch + "deals damage equal to creature's power" is broken.

Missing cards
I bought a bunch of Strixhaven packs and as I opened them I made notes on the new cards I'd like to incorporate into my decks (or build a new deck with). But several of the cards I made notes of don't show up in the deckbuilder as an option for me. I have checked online to see if I wrote down the wrong names, but those cards are listed on general websites as Strixhaven cards so I don't know why they won't show up in my deckbuilder.
Some of those cards are:
Time Warp
Tendrils of Agony
Weather the Storm

Consistent lag with good connectivity
Consistent lag despite solid internet connection. Makes the game unplayable and unenjoyable. Logged in for first time in a month or two and the lag isn't getting better

Crash android
Nearly during every game the app crashes. I'm back in my homescreen and I have to reconnect. After restarting the app I'm back in the game 1 or 2 rounds later.
I already reinstalled the app. No changes.
The error occurred after the last update.

Matchmaking sucks! I am tired of constant mirror matches
Matchmaking in Arena is unbalanced and unfair and most of all unfun. Constant mirror matches suck! Constantly playing against the same decks regardless of opponent sucks! please do true natural random matchmaking. skill based and deck strength matchmaking sucks and isn't fun.

Sound not working
I have been playing arena on iOS since lunch without issue but just yesterday my sound completely stopped working in the app and I have no idea why. I have restarted my phone and I have read that others who have had this same issue have had little to no luck even when deleting And reinstalling the app. I tend to rely on the sound for certain cues so this is essentially unplayable for me now. I will try reinstalling the app but if that does not work what is the next step?? It is not my phone because my sound is working properly and every other app.

"did you have fun in the match" dialog should always be available
You should always be able to access the "did you have fun in the match" dialog if you want to report that a particular match was fun or unfun. The periodic polling is nice and should probably continue but it doesn't capture all instances of unfun matches nor does it give people a chance to recognize which matches were good. I wouldn't explicitly prompt people most of the time but there should be a button you can push to report a match either way.

Sportsmanship and leaving a losing game by timing out
Once it is apparent that a game is hopeless for one player, most players are civil and either concede, or quickly play through their turns to bring the game to an end.
But, I've experienced enough players that just walk away from their computer and let the game finish by timing out, that I've taken the time to write this note.
It is an awful game play experience watching the opponent's timer count down for 3+ minutes. Particularly when it is obvious they are not looking at how they could win (checking card text, looking the graveyards, etc.) and are just hoping that the other player will get fed up and concede instead of waiting for all the timer extensions to expire.
My suggestion/question is whether players that repeatedly abandon games, as described above, could either be sanctioned in some way, or warned/reminded that this is bad behaviour that makes MTGA worse for everyone?

WHY do you CHEAT your PLAYERS
It’s been officially addressed that opening hands are manipulated.
This is cheating by any standard.
It’s been officially addressed that matchmaking is manipulated by deck content.
This is cheating by any standard.
WHY do you CHEAT your PLAYERS?
The wonderful game of Magic: The Gathering has been turned into this obnoxious exercise in manipulated, cheating corporate greed called Magic: The Gathering Arena.
It is not Magic: The Gathering.
I am done with it.

Paradox Engine Isn't Banned
Not sure how you missed it but Paradox Engine is completely legal on Arena in Historic and Historic Brawl. It's banned in Commander for a reason... there's no way you should be allowing it in Brawl. What's the deal? Sheoldred is too powerful to include but cards like Ulamog and Paradox engine are fine for a fun and friendly experience???? Why?

Exquisite Blood and Marauding Blight Priest infinitely trigger each other
I've noticed in games lately that Exquisite Blood and Marauding Blight Priest have a very unique interaction where one causes you to gain life whenever you do damage, and one causes you to do damage whenever you gain life, causing one to trigger the other over and over infinitely until the other player loses the game. This means that having a 4 cost and a 5 cost black card, as well as ANY card that causes you to gain life OR deal damage, means you immediately win the game with no possibility of a counter, and can go from 20 life to 0 life on turn 5 or 6.
I'm not sure this interaction was intended to work this way, which is why I'm saying anything. It seems a little exploit-y.
