When I am on the "Decks" screen I can search for my deck, but when I click "Play" I just have a massive lists of decks and they are in no particular order.
Can we get a search box / filter on the "Play" screen?

BUG: Deathmark leaves creature on battlefield
As mentioned I played a game where my creatures were destroyed with Deathmark (1B). The problem is once destroyed they remained on the battlefield but couldn't be interacted with. However, they were not in the graveyard so they could not be interacted with via Valgavoth's Faithful or Zombify. Attaching log files incase it helps

Blocking Bug after client crash
Playing on PC (Win 10). The client crashed during the opponent's combat step. After restarting, I am taken back to my game at the declare blockers step. I am not able to chose any of my creatures as blockers although I had three valid creatures to choose. The only "action" I am allowed to make is to click the "No Blocks" button. I hit ALT+F4 and launch the mobile app on my Samsung S22 Ultra. Again, I am taken into my game at the declare blockers step. Again, the only action available to me is to hit "No Blocks". This of course cost me my game not to mention the time outs that I should have had available throughout the remainder of that game. Screen shot taken on the S22U. Note that this is not the first time I have encountered this bug. It is just the first time that it has happened in an event.

App crash in quick draft match
Mobile app crashes during quick draft games. When I reboot the app, it reconnects me to the ongoing match and, if my opponent is attacking, I am unable to allocate blockers. Happened 3 times in a single match and cost me the game due to being unable to block damage each time the app crashed.
Attached is a screenshot of the app prompting me to allocate blockers and highlighting the available ones, but I am unable to select them. I am however and to press every other button on the screen including: going into the settings, emoting, selecting "no blockers" and auto-skipping my phases.Mobile app crashes during quick draft games.

Opening Edge of Eternity booster gives rare from other set instead of giving wild card or gems.
As title reads. I have complete base set of Edge of Eternities and instead of getting wild card, gems, or bonus sheet rares I got a rare from a completely different set. This is not alchemy packs either it was a normal pack. As seen in photos I did not open any other set packs as all pack cards are EOE or Bonus Sheet.

Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER did not trigger when sacrificing with Umbral Collar Zealot

On Steam.
Log attached.

screen perma-zoomed
As of today, my Arena battlefield is permanently 'zoomed in' making the sides of the screen now off-screen and the cards extra-large. Additionally, the right-click zoom on card details positions it super-large and half-off the screen making this mode of viewing useless. You can see the clipping evident as only part of Pompon-chan (metallic racoon companion) is visible on the left edge.
This just started happening today and I've been playing 1 hour every day for a week with no changes to ANY local game settings. Just today, I also tried adjusting local graphics settings and doing the 'ole click/un-click fullscreen mode windowing 'hack', but that didn't resolve the issue. It's perma-zoomed, but aside from that, everything else seems normal.
I have not (yet) done a full re-install.
FWIW:
- OS: macOS Sonoma 14.3 (23D56), Macbook Air
- Arena Version: 2025.51.0.3347.1173794
- Play on any battlefield. It's always now perma-zoomed.
I've enclosed a screenshot of the 'zoomed side-clipped' screen along with my current graphics settings. My apologies to my opponent 'imunity' as I unduly delayed play while taking screenshots and testing local settings changes in our match.

Title: MTG Arena is Killing the Game We Love
I’ve played Magic: The Gathering for 18 years. I’ve put in thousands of hours and spent more money than I want to admit. Arena is the only way I can play now, and it feels like Wizards is using that against us.
Let’s just be honest. MTG Arena isn’t built to reward skill or time. It’s built to squeeze your wallet.
The economy is trash. You need 20 or more rares and a stack of mythics just to build one real deck. Want to try something new? Too bad. No trading. No dust system. No refunds. Just keep buying packs and hope you pull something usable. In paper Magic, at least you could trade or sell. In Arena, you get nothing back. Just digital cards locked behind a paywall.
"It seems pretty difficult to build a card collection." — r/MagicArena
"This game is a money sink with no soul." — Twitter
"The algorithm is awful... it consistently gives you games you have no chance of winning." — MTG Arena feedback forumsClimbing to Mythic is a joke. You grind for hours every month just to get knocked back down and do it all again. There’s no real payoff. The meta is boring. Same decks on repeat. White lifegain. Mono red. Karn. Bolas. The names shift but the decks don’t. You either copy the broken deck or you lose.
Historic used to be creative. Alchemy ruined it. Now it’s just digital-only junk cards, overpowered garbage, and zero balance. No bans. No fixes. Just more broken mechanics shoved in to push new product.
This isn’t just me. A 2024 study by 1337.games ranked Arena the most unplayable game on Reddit. Out of all gaming communities, Arena had the highest number of complaints. Almost 30 percent of all posts on r/MagicArena called the game unplayable.
They made over 1.08 billion dollars last year. A huge chunk of that came from Arena. That money came from us. The players. And in return, we got a broken platform, a rigged ladder, and an economy that feels like a trap.
This is not the Magic we grew up on. It’s not what Richard Garfield created. Magic used to reward creative decks, smart play, and deep strategy. Arena rewards pay-to-win. It punishes innovation. It ignores player feedback. It sells nostalgia and gives you a slot machine.
I’m not writing this because I want a lawsuit or some payout. I’m writing this because I want the game fixed. I want to play a version of Magic that respects my time and money.
Here’s what we deserve:
A fair economy that rewards effort and gameplay
Monthly bans in all formats to shake things up
Real incentives for original decks, not just copying the meta
A better new player experience
Full transparency in matchmaking and the shuffler
If you’re reading this and you’re sick of getting screwed, reach out. I’m organizing. I’m done being quiet.
Email me: noreservations72032@gmail.com
I screenshotted this. If it gets deleted, I’ll post it again. This isn’t just my fight. There are thousands of us who feel the same way. The more of us that speak up, the harder we are to ignore.
We want the game back. The real one.
The one that treated players like people, not paychecks.And yes, I know you can see who posted this. That’s fine. I’m not hiding. I meant every word.

Bloodthirsty Conqueror Combo should be weakened.
Bloodthirsty Conqueror Combo should be weakened.
Bloodthirsty Conqueror Combo has too simple combo parts.
A simple mono black deck with a ridiculous amount of removal and interference and a combo at the end is all it takes to make it.What's the fun in that? It should only be allowed in the lower environment.
I know Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, but releasing this along with removal-resistant cards like Enduring Tenacity and Starscape Cleric that are hard to deal with in a single card is a weird balance of power.
It's strange that all the cards in black these days are so powerful and have such a wide range of roles.I saw some developer's talk about thinking about the limited combo experience, but they are not thinking about the rest of the environment at all. If you want people to know about the combo experience, it should be something that gives the game a strong advantage, and deciding winners and losers with only two cards of the same color is overkill.
Too easy compared to other special win cards.
It has banished many other decks from the environment and made the game experience very boring.

Cube draft frozen on entry, client now won't load
When I entered cube draft, the list of participants showed up and all clicked ready. The timer counted down to zero, and then the screen just froze. I waited at least 5 minutes. I restarted the client and it immediately entered the black "Waiting for the server..." screen with loading circle and did not proceed to load anything. I restarted my PC, and the exact same thing happened. I can't even get into the home screen at this point.

Hauntswood Shrieker/Marang River Regent bug
Hi there,
The reason that I am contacting the group of you is because I would like to report a bug having to do with the usage of Hauntswood Shrieker to turn up Marang River Regent after it has entered into play via Manifest Dread. Though the card is able to be turned up, its "upon entering" ability does not trigger upon doing so. :-)
Thanks,

Unable to complete combat after blockers given protection
I attacked with multiple Hare Apparent. The opponent declared blockers with white creatures, then cast Brave the Elements giving their blockers protection from white. It then entered the combat damage assignment step as shown in the screenshot, however because of the protection I was unable to assign damage, or progress off of the damage assignment screen. There were no values that I could enter that allowed me to select "done" so I conceded. This happened on PC.

Energy counters used but nothing happened
When playing the game the energy build i made would not trigger correctly and did not allow me to use my cards abilities and cause me to lose the game. There were two seperate times one where my creature died and allowed me to sacrifice 3 energy to deal damage to any target but when i did that nothing happened and i still lost my energy. Then when i casted a spell it stated that i can pay any amount of energy and put a stun counter for each energy i used i spent 5 energy and lost my energy and only allowed 2 stun counter to be place instead of the whole lot of creatures i paid for.

Faerie Fencing Not Targeting Creature
I recently played a game where my Faerie Fencing couldn’t target an Angel creature. I couldn’t find a single card on the field that would prohibit this. This resulted in loss of board control and concession.

App freezes when selecting emotes during gameplay
Since the latest update, I regularly experience a freeze during gameplay when I click on my profile image to select an emote. It is at a point where I will not interact with opponents during ranked matches in fear of the app locking up.
I cannot reproduce it. It seems to occur after I’ve already had a couple matches played. This is on iOS I have not had this occur on desktop.

Waiting for Server
Everytime I am in the store and click on the button to purchase Gems, I get the black screen overlay with the message "Waiting for server" and the application gets stuck on this loading screen. Normally, I get a popup window within the app to make a purchase but that window never opens, just the waiting for server message. I think this started happening with the Avatar release. I am on a Macbook Pro with an M1 chip.
