MTG Arena crashes at launch
Since over a week I can't play the game because when I launch the game on my mac the game crashes as soon as it launches. It basically opens and does update and crashes after.
I'm on a Macbook Pro M1

indestructible
When using Drown in Ichor to apply -4/-4 counters to Tajic or other indestructible creatures, they are not being put into the graveyard when toughness is 0.

Game stopped/eternal roping
My opponent never made a move, but started roping (timing out) before the first turn of the game. The rope burned to its end but hasn't stopped. It's been over 10 minutes now. I can concede (I think) but if I don't then the game is stopped and endless.

Monthly ban for time thieves
When will you add an option to ban selected players?? Those time thieves are the worst thing that could have happened to Magic. Let us ban those players for a month (or until manually removed from ban list) - this should allow normal players to enjoy the game while at the same time should lengthen the queueing time for the ropers, meaning more play for people who really play Magic and less for the ones breaking the game.

Rigged Mulligans
I have observed frequently (ESPECIALLY in paid Limited Drafts), that the Mulligans are rigged. My decks will be 17-19 lands out of 40 cards in a deck, yet I will still get less than 3 lands in a hand, mulligan consecutively until I am down to 2 cards and still get no lands. But on the occasions I get 3 lands in a starting, I will then pull nothing but lands for 4-5 turns.
This happens more and more the higher your win count and win streak.
And several other reputable mathematicians and code writers have analyzed the MTG Arena script and found it to be rigged, just youtube "Rigged MTG Arena Mechanics meant to make users pay".
Well I have spent over $200 on this game, and I’m not spending anymore until MTG stops rigging the game and uses a normal true random generator, and issues an apology to all players.
There will be consecutive improbable occurrences the more you play, to the point that it proves the game is rigged, because if you do the math every time and compare, you will discover it is virtually impossible to have such bad luck if the game was truly random and fair.
The worst part is that the game WILL PUNISH YOU FOR SPENDING MONEY!!! DO NOT SPEND MONEY!!! You will actually have BETTER LUCK if you don't spend any money at all, because if the game's program will assume you can't be persuaded/coerced into monetary purchases, and instead assign you to the aggressor role of trampling other paying players (especially the more you get good at MTG Arena).
If you've ever made it to your final win required for perfect streak in Limited, you know exactly what I’m talkin about.

Game suddenly ended with "GreError" and a forced draw
In the middle of a game, after some series of normal-seeming actions, the game suddenly stopped with a server error reading "GreError" (I assume meaning a game rules engine error?) and a forced draw from the server. (The pop-up itself said "Result: Draw", implying that the server had handed out that result after the GRE error.)
The client continued operating normally as if the match had been drawn (i.e., it showed the "Draw" result, allowed me to inspect the battlefield, returned to the home screen normally, etc.), but the match was obviously immediately stopped by this. (Thankfully a random unranked match, so I have no missed rewards to claim!)I'm attaching the captured log (from the "report a bug" screen) as captured.log. Please keep in mind that I removed all lines beginning with "[Social.Chat]", since I don't want to post my chat messages in a public forum. (All chat happened long before the error, so I doubt it is of any relevance.)

Just uninstalled due to Roping/AFK players
Ever since the debut of this game I've ran into too many people roping after a clear loss. I've even ran into people just afk at the mulligan stage. This is annoying and has made me uninstall the app. I'm convincing all my coworkers, friends, and family do the same since WOTC hasn't implemented a clear plan to prevent any of this. No bans, no warnings, no reporting, nothing.

delete multiple decks since you added many
Allow deletion of multiple decks since the Game adds starter decks and pushes users over the limit through no action of their own

Have spent hundreds of dollars this month...
FIX your shuffler and the RNG. Some of the things that are happening are not statistically possible. You're losing customers daily. I've spent thousands of dollars on this game and will not spend another cent until you FIX IT.

Unable to take game action
Opponent passed turn, I was unable to take any game actions or cast spells. Turn tracker in bottom right was missing, my timer started ticking down. Restarted the app but by the time I got back in it had skipped my turn, lost game because of it

Midweek magic
Midweek magic on Arena is a great idea but could be improved. For example, almost every month there's an event that repeats something that is regularly available such as Standard or Alchemy. These should be replaced with Pauper and Artisan, which are a ton of fun and a great entry point for new players. Also, too much Momir!

Product Suggestion Leave Historic Alone
With the new Alchemy format, can we please have it separated from Historic? You are going to be nerfing cards considering the standard environment, please leave them alone for Historic decks.

repeatedly gathering local files bug
Every time I start MTG Arena, the game is "gathering local files" which takes a couple of minutes (on PC via Steam).
Temporarily, this issue can be fixed by setting the registry entry "HashFilesOnStartup_..." to 0.
But when restarting the next time, it is gathering local files again.17 votes -

Allow user to record macro of legal game actions
Enable a user to turn on a recording of game actions and to stop it when they like.
This would enable users to record true loops and cut down on the tedium of executing these loops.
If a player attempts to run a macro and it runs into a game action it cannot do the macro should run up to that point and then fail and stop.
maybe it'd be best to allow this feature to be hidden to a user in the options as it'd only be useful in certain decks and for new users too complicated.

Game crash on match start
After completing a match, I queued for another. The game crashed around "opponent found". Continuing to crash every time I opened the game and trying to reconnect to that opponent, even when I restarted h computer.

Win being recorded as win and loss
I entered a match today with 2 losses and 0 wins. At the end of the match, which I won, it showed me with 1 win and three losses (it tallied both), and I was only able to claim my prizes. I was very surprised that I was unable to play again after a victory.

Lifelink on Creature Without Double Strike Triggers Twice When Damage is Dealt by Creature with Double Strike
I applied double strike using twinferno to a creature attacking Atraxa. Atraxa does not have first strike or double strike. So when my creature deals first strike damage, Atraxa does not deal damage to it. Atraxa ONLY deals damage on the normal damage phase. But the opposing player received 14 health (double Atraxa’s power) because my creature hit it twice. But Atraxa only dealt 7 damage that turn.
