first strike damage wasnt enough to kill my attacker, but it died during first strike damage step anyway
my sunspine lynx attacking in was blocked by a burnout bashtronaut with full speed at 2 power from the lord goblin. he also had r/w lightning on the field. so my 5/4 died to a 2/2 double strike on the first strike damage step. bashtronaut stayed on the battlefield. very strange. standard ranked match on p.c.

Get rid of your matchmaking algorithm.
When people go to tournaments or to their local card store to play some mtg more often than not you face an unknown opponent with an unknown deck. There is no "matchmaking" that MTG Arena uses. You play against whatever the other person has whether it be one sided or not.
Please for the love of all that is holy get rid of your matchmaking algorithm and replace it with something this simple:
Step 1: Click play
Step 2: the next person in line no matter what their deck is matched to you and you play.2 votes -
Reward Restructuring Request: Unlocking Sealed Format Accessibility
There exists a significant disparity in reward structures between Draft and Sealed events. When accounting for entry fees, Sealed formats yield approximately 400 gems lower expected value (EV) than Draft formats at equivalent win rates. To illustrate: with a 5,000 gem bankroll, players can typically engage in only 3-4 Sealed runs versus 7-8 Draft sessions - effectively halving gameplay opportunities.
While we appreciate the design intent to encourage format freedom, the current EV imbalance creates economic barriers that may deter players from exploring Sealed formats despite genuine interest. Would your team consider rebalancing Sealed event rewards to enhance format accessibility?

iPad repeatedly re-downloading game
Description:
I play MTG Arena on an iPad, but the game repeatedly forces me to re-download the additional 3.4 GB data package every time I launch it.If I open the game from the app icon, it gets stuck on “Initializing localization database.” If I open it from the App Store page instead, it allows me to download the 3.4 GB package (about 25 minutes), after which I can play normally. However, when I close the game and return later (even the next day), the game does not retain the data and requires the full 3.4 GB download again.
Steps already tried:
Restarted the iPad
Reinstalled the game from the App Store
Confirmed sufficient free storage space
Used a stable Wi-Fi connection
The issue persists. Please advise if there is a known bug or workaround for iPadOS.

Enchanted enchantment back fired
1) I have played Unable to scream enchantment
2) Opponent enchanted my enchantment with Sheltered by ghosts
3) I destroyed every creature even enchanted one with Sephiroth (that was my one and only creature too)
4) I received back my Unable to scream card on Sephhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnu9V81gElg
I think instead of step 4) it should go to my graveyard.

Grist, Voracious Larva won't trigger
I played Grist, Voracious Larva as my commander in brawl for the first time. And his trigger didn't work.
- I had Grist in my graveyard
- I returned another creature card from my graveyard to the battlefield (btw it works if I return Grist himself)
- Grist's trigger didn't show up, even tho it should have triggered
- using 'full control' didn't work and the same issue in the second match
- played him in Historic/Pioneer before and he worked just fine
- could have been something to do with him being the commander but I'm not an expert :/

Sab-Sunen, Luxa Embodied attacking with all values of counters
My opponent was repeatedly able to attack with Sab-Sunen https://scryfall.com/card/dft/221/sab-sunen-luxa-embodied regardless of the number of counters (pictured here at 5) on the card. From 2 all the way up through 6.

Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd not returning card to battlefield
When playing against Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd, it exiled my commander but did not return it back to the battlefield under my control at the start of the next end step. Selected the option not to put commander in command zone, and card stayed in exile.

reach a life total of 50 or greater achievement
I've not received my achievement even though I have done this multiple times with the WB starter deck. I don't have a screenshot of my life total and I've tried to post this with the log but maybe the log is too big because I get an error when attempting to post.

Crash and match loss
It happened to me many times in the last weeks, that the game crashes as soon as an opponent is found and the match is ready to be played. Then, if I try and open the game to reconnect, I find a bugged loading frame as in the attached screenshot, and when I finally manage to get back into the game, the match I was about to play is considered as a loss.
This happened to me with premier draft, ranked and standard event matches.3 votes -
Housemeld on transformable creatures displaying incorrectly
Housemeld does not remove the word "Creature" from the backside of a transformable creature.
Steps to reproduce (on PC):
Cast Housemeld on a transformable creature (for me it was Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER).
Actual Results:
The spell correctly exiles and returns to my control as an enchantment. When mousing over it, it shows the backside Sephiroth, Transformed Angel as a Legendary Creature Enchantment. When transformed, it correctly stays an enchantment without the creature type and the type correctly displays Legendary Enchantment. However the hover that shows the FRONT side now shows Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER as a Legendary Creature Enchantment.
Expected Results:
The "Creature" word should be removed from back sides of perpetually altered cards in this way for increased clarity of the effect.

Blood on the Snow doesn't trigger Sephiroth flip ability
Blood on the Snow doesn't trigger the flip ability on Sephiroth. If you choose Sephiroth to be the creature that returns to the battlefield when Blood on the Snow resolves, all the damage does resolve, but the flip doens't even tho Sephiroth IS on the battlefield.
Sephiroth should flip as intended.

Duplicate protection bug
When opening an Alchemy pack in Edge of Eternities (EOE) with a full collection, you should receive a rare from the EOE standard set, but instead, you get a rare from other Alchemy sets. Is this correct?

Bann Strip Man in Timeless
Strip Mine needs to be banned in MTGA like it is in Paper Magic. Card removes all fun from timeless.

No possibility to block when reconnect
On PC, when you recharge a match (after you have been disconnected) and the opposite is attacking you, You cannot block without any creature. The only thing you can do is to click on "No block".

Siege dragon not working even if no wall is in play
I played against a friend that had mostly 3/3's on the board and I had a Siege dragon into play. Before attacking with the Siege dragon and my other créatures, I decided to play Pyroclasm so when I would declare attacks, the Siege dragon would destroy his 3/3's and so would not be able to block. Unfortunately nothing happened.
