1. Game randomly freezes and becomes unplayable

   For the past 45 minutes I tried my usual run of daily wins, however I can't play the game as the games either don't load or if they load then seem to disconnect from my side or the opponents during the "keep"/"mulligan" screen or after 1-2 rounds/phases. The "rope"/timer then starts and after it finishes the game freezes. In this state I have to restart the client to get back to the main menu.
   Even after "repair game files" the issue is not resolved. Sadly the game can't be played in this state and I can't get my daily wins in to gain gold.
   The status page however suggest that all operations are fully functional. What is going on?

3. 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 forums

   Climbing 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.

4. A Bug Where the Player Immediately Loses the Game After the Opponent’s Consecutive Trigger Resolutions

   When the opponent put nearly 100 creatures onto the battlefield at the same time, both the opponent’s and my own triggered abilities caused multiple life-gain events. All of these were being processed automatically for both players.
   During this time, even though the player could not take any actions, their timer continued to run down, and once all processing finished, the player immediately lost the game.

   1. It makes no sense that the player’s time decreases during the resolution of the opponent’s activated/triggered abilities.

   2. It is unacceptable to lose the game immediately after waiting for all the processes to finish.

   I would like both issues to be fixed as soon as possible.
   Alternatively, please implement a way to batch-process large numbers of triggers at once.

5. Ozai, the phoenix king bugged (ability active with 4 unspent mana istead of 6)

   Hi, today, during a draft game at about 9:50 Prague time (CET), I had a bug happen. I played Ozai, my opponent enchanted him with a swampsnare trap, reducing his stats. Then, during my turn, I started tapping lands to add mana to my pool (to make Ozai indestructible). As soon as there was 4 unspent mana in my pool, ozai gained indestructible and flying (see attached screenshot). The game was played on android.
   This is not correct, Ozai states that he needs 6 unspent mana in pool to gain those abilities. Maybe swampsnare trap unintentionally changes this, because when he I played him and he was not enchanted in other games, his ability behaved as written.

   For reference, ozais textbox is: "

   Trample, firebending 4, haste

   If you would lose unspent mana, that mana becomes red instead.

   Ozai has flying and indestructible as long as you have six or more unspent mana.
   "

6. MY TIMER OPPONENTS TRIGGERS

   Why is my timer running down while I'm waiting on the opponent's actions to take place? What a joke man. Had a hundred triggers that had to wait for the opponent to gain life for and it wasted my entire turn and I didn't get to do anything else on my f****** turn. What a f****** joke man. I swear to God if the guy's not present the game f****** lasts longer than when you're actually playing the game and it times you out like what a f****** joke absolute f****** garbage man and stop making me play the same f****** stupid white f****** dax with the same f****** ******* cards. Every single f****** game make some real f****** decks for f*** sakes. It's a joke

7. "The End" immune to Hexproof

   The interaction: First main phase: I play "Mossborn Hydra". I press next we are in my second main phase. Opponent plays a revealed "The End" targeting "Mossborn Hydra". I put "Royal Treatment" on the stack targeting "Mossborn Hydra". "Mossborn Hydra" gains hexproof and a Royal Roll token is attached to it. "The End" resolves aka it exile "Moss Born Hydra" and each other instance in my deck, graveyard and hand. As I understand it Hexproof prevents spells from targeting the hexproofed target and as "The End" reads "Exile target creature" then it should not resolved as it was targeting a illegal target.

8. Incorrect rules interaction

   I've never encountered this before today. It has always worked correctly, but I lost a match and rank today as a result of omniscience not interacting correctly with x spells. I had 2 x spells in hand with 13 available mana (lands + Ugin activation). The two spells were "Portent of Calamity" and "Doppelgang". I went to cast Doppelgang for 3 to finish milling my opponent out using Scrabbling Skullcrab's ability, but it would not let me choose a number other than zero. I tried multiple times, changes game settings, and even restarted the client. Nothing worked. I then clicked on Portent of Calamity and the game chose zero and put it directly into the graveyard. I had to pass the turn due to time running out by trying to all of those fixes and then lost on the opponents next turn. I would appreciate some level of compensation and for the bug to be fixed. Thanks for your time.

9. Gatherer text reflected incorrectly for Iroas, God of Victory

   Dear Team,

   I noticed that the oracle text of Iroas was amended to 'Creatures you control have menace', while the change seems to reflect what the ability did prior to the errata, the functionality is vastly different.

   The original text 'creatures you control can't be blocked except by two or more creautres' was effective whether the 'other creature I control' has lost its other abilities or not. Iroas does not give my creatures any ability as it is the case after errata.
   To get 'creatures you control have menace' Iroas would need to have 'Creatures you control gain 'this creature can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.', which frankly is not the case.

   Could you please kindly fix the gatherer to avoid this nerfed picture of Iroas?

10. strange bug

    i was playing a match against a user called "gardi528" it was her turn but she wasn't playing, the time for the turn ended but instead to start my turn the game kicked me out of the match, i reconnected ALMOST IMMEDIATELY no more than 12 seconds of wait but when i came back suddenly it was her turn again(remember my turn hasn't even started 12 seconds ago) but more strange was i managed to drop a land WHILE MY OPPONENT MY PLAYING HER TURN AGAIN(my full turn got somehow skipped but i dropped a land in her turn(truly was mine)) the land had a life gain effect but the effect doesn't triggered, my creature had a effect when you gain life and doesn't triggered(because i got no life from land), my companion which is a blue horse from an old battle pass(if i remember) suddenly was just a common brown horse, then i realized the land i played in my opponent turn, wasn't working, it was open but i couldn't use it. this was annoying bug and never faced this before. i managed to capture some screenshots but because of the nature of the bug, i don't know if they gonna give much info. im playing in android by the way. you can see in the picture i have on mana open( the dual green white one i dropped while my opponent was still playing) but i can't use the card "cure" from my hand when i should can because it cost 1 white mana. this bug costed me a play where i couldn't use cure to save my creature and was terrible. lucky enough i drawn another one and could finally win despite the annoying bug.

11. Matchmaking Server Does Not display Cancel UI

    If I enter a rank match, then cancel, then repeat this infinitely, the following happens:

    1. at some point after 3-30 cancel attempts, the cancel button will disappear. (Disabling my ability to cancel the match)
    2. Or there will be no delay and I am immediately matched with play in fraction of second (AI I assume)
    3. The cancel will disappear, but the timer will go infinitely like 5+minutes, but when I Force exit the client, then reenter the client, the there's a resume, then it looks for a match, but disables the Cancel UI. If I do NOT re-enter the client, I see that at a later time logging in I am given a loss.

    It seems the match making server has a mind of its own, litterally. It also asks me how I liked my game after losing (90%) of the time instead of the expected 50/50.

    Please fix this, it feels like the matches are somehow rigged.

12. Decks with Cards Banned in Historic Artisan do not contribute to "Admirably Artisan" Achievement Progress

    The following deck was used in Historic Ranked. After any wins the progress on the "Admirably Artisan" would not move up. I believe the issue is that the achievement is checking whether the deck is legal in Historic Artisan or not. Zenith Flare is currently not legal in that format, thus it is not contributing to any progress. Since the achievement requires winning in the regular Historic Ranked queue and not a Historic Artisan event, decks that feature cards on the Historic Artisan banned list should be allowed for the achievement progress.

13. Lifelink is so broken

    Lifelink is limited to damage dealt not the cards power. Gaining any more life than what the damage dealt is literally violates the games ruling on lifelink.. these bugs are so devastating to the gameplay that physical cards seem the only enjoyable way to play.

14. ornate imitations creating cards in Alchemy that aren't allowed in Alchemy

    In a ranked Alchemy game, my opponent played “ornate imitations” which conjured a Nazgul from the lotr set, all cards from this set aren’t allowed in Alchemy so this card shouldn’t be able to conjure them.

15. Waiting for server issues

    I have been having issues during gameplay, receiving “Waiting for server…” messages mid-match and ultimately being booted from said match when about to win.

    This issue has made completing today’s daily missions next to impossible, not to mention impacting my mythic ranking.

16. General trigger overload and the time it consumes to resolve it

    The game tends to have more and more complicated triggers resolving. The animations are SLOW and they take time off of the player's turn without compensation. Resolving multiple triggers of Outcaster traiblaizer results in drawing one card at a time (SLOW), when one is locked out of the game, but the timer still runs out.
    It seems, that you still have not removed the choise screen for cards with kicker, impending, warp, etc. when there is no viable option to take manawise. Years have passed and this unnecessary clikcking is still in the game.
    One more "fresh" (3 month old approx): Demonic pact shows only deal 4 damage, gain 4 life as used (greyed), so you have to remember what options are still open to play around them efficiently.
    Maybe try and make the game play a little less absurd and annoying, eh?

17. Solution: Roping (reward based, not punishment based)

    Most of the anti roping ideas come back to detecting/punishing the ropers.

    I've been starting to realist the solution isn't about the roping player, rather about the other player.

    In any non ranked, random queued game add the following well publicised rule:

    If you win a game to a roping opponent (an opponent who has roped for >80% of the entire duration of the match and/or has lost to roping timeout) - double your gold and XP track rewards for the game. Make sure both the roping player and the normal player are notified of this bonus at the end of the match.

    Roping players aim to 'hurt' their opponent, this reward will skew their desire to harm.

    Sure every so often a genuine rope will deliver an extra reward - but wow, once the serial ropers realise they are helping our progress - things will change.

18. Transparency with RNG, algorithms, test results

    A few months back I recorded 1000 of my b01 ranked games, including land draws as a proportion of cards seen (drawn/scried/milled/whatever was on top of my deck). I calculated the probability of that land draw using a hyper geometric calculator. I assumed the odds of land draws should follow a normal distribution with the mean being a land draw that is proportionate to the lands in the deck.

    I found that games were more likely to be .5 standard deviations away from the mean, in each direction, than they were to be close to the mean. About 22% chance to be .5 standard deviations more lands, about 22% chance to be .5 standard deviations fewer lands, about 16% chance to be close to proportionate.

    Why would this be a “double humped” distribution rather than a normal distribution?

    I have seen, anecdotally, far more extremely low probability events in this game than I can relate, here’s a few:

    Having 6 consecutive games on the draw multiple times daily. If odds are 50/50, there is only a 1.56% of this many games on the draw, or on the play, in a row. However, this 1.5 in 100 probability somehow happens multiple times a day.

    I have had drafts where I drew 15 of the 17 lands in the deck in my top 30, or fewer, cards every game, effectively robbing me of the ability to participate in the draft or have a chance to compete. For this to happen in a single game has a less than 1 in 10000 chance. The odds of this happening 3 straight is infinitesimally small.

    I have seen and received responses from support that your algorithms are working as intended and have been independently verified. However, with such statistically improbable events happening with such high frequency, these responses raise more questions than they answer. It seems either the algorithms are written with exploitative intent and working successfully, or they are written to simulate true randomness but are not working properly, or something was added as a “helper” which is making the game not work with true randomness but is having unintended consequences that result in some frequently bizarre results.

    Where is information published around:

    1. What the algorithms are intended to do
    2. The independent verification results

    It will be hard for many in the community to trust things are working as designed, and without exploitative intent, without more transparency

19. Unlimited time out causing loss

    My opponent disconnected or went afk. Normally this is annoying but manageable due to the limited time outs. But several times I have found the timer expiring over and over until eventually I have to concede and take the loss in the ranked game😡😡😡😡😡

20. Red aggro decks are broken and the shuffler cheats FOR them!

    Play test Red Aggro against any other deck and see if it is fun, or fair. I can guarantee it's not in either case. Check the deck shuffler against them and see if you get the key idea cards you need, you won't. I Had 1/6th what i needed in deck, after 40 cards i got 1. Not a single 1 drop across 3 ranked games! If you just want Red Aggro to win, then just eliminate the other colors. I mean there is NO point. Red has always been easy, and sometimes competitive, but it's broken completely right now. I was going to drop real money on this for the new card set, but forget about it now. It's no fun AT ALL! (STANDARD Ranked)
