Too much aggro decks, new set and guess what? More aggro cards and decks. Put eye on this, MTG is getting bored..

Penalties for Scooping
You should penalize the people that quit early in matches somehow. The "scooping" culture on Magic Arena is toxic and really leaves a bad taste in players mouths. I've heard from several players that Magic arena has become an unenjoyable experience because you can never finish a game without someone quitting early for no reason. A lot of times what happens is they see the type of deck and immediately quits.

All foundations packs I open give gems in the rare AND mythic slot.
All foundations packs (I have not tried others) I open give gems in the rare AND mythic slot, I am nowhere near full collection, at least 20 times straight this has occurred. This does not even come close to the value we are spending, hopefully when you fix this very obvious bug you will compensate everyone. NO WAY this is normal.

arena
Arena keeps crashing when I'm in matches. I have to wait for the program to time out, then restart it and get back to my match. I can tell it's happening to other people, as there are often times in matches when they go idle for long periods of time. I'm on a Windows 11 PC, and haven't had this issue before.

Color Challenge Black Last Step
I have won the last battle for the Black deck color challenge 4 times, but every time I go to claim the 'cold-blooded killers deck', it 'waits for the server' for forever and then resets and makes me do the match again.

shuffler
Fix the shuffler. I was playing draft. 17 lands in 40 cards. I kept a 7 card starting hand with 4 lands. I played 5 total turns in the game, where I drew a land card all 5 turns. The chances of drawing 5 lands in a row are astronomically low.

Continue playing in event after 3 losses (!)
It is possible to continue playing a deck that has 3 losses in a limited event.
Reproduction:
1. draft and build deck.
2. open arena on PC with the event page open, i.e. with the win/loss counter visible and play button in bottom right.
3. without closing app on PC, open arena on mobile with the same account.
4. Play until 3 losses
5. press "reconnect" on PC arena app
6. The cached version of the page is displayed, with amount of losses and wins present as when cached.
7. Pressing play puts you into queue
8. it is possible to achieve 4 losses (see attachment) with this, increase the amount of prizes, and I presume get 8 wins but I haven't tried that.This is highly exploitable and a bad actor could take further advantage of abusing these stale clientside states. This is likely a very high priority issue and should be resolved asap

UI Bug, Activated Abilities, Game-Losing
Summary
I’m experiencing a recurring issue in MTG Arena where activated abilities on permanents are unclickable, despite having the required mana and meeting all activation conditions. When I attempt to activate the ability, I hear a “clinking” sound and see a red outline appear around the card, indicating the game recognizes the ability as present but will not execute it. This issue has directly cost me multiple games and has persisted across multiple versions of the client.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Play a permanent (creature or enchantment) with an activated ability that costs mana (e.g., “4W: Creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn” on Bearer of Glory). 2. Wait until a later turn where the permanent has been on the battlefield and is not summoning sick. 3. Ensure you have sufficient mana to activate the ability, including colored mana. 4. Attempt to activate the ability by clicking the card. 5. The ability fails to activate, playing a clinking sound and flashing a red outline around the card. 6. Entering Full Control mode does not fix this. 7. The ability remains unclickable even after tapping mana manually or interacting with the stack.Temporary Workarounds (Partially Effective)
• Changing the screen resolution or entering Windowed Mode sometimes causes a “View Printed Card” box to appear on right-click. • In one case, clicking this did allow the ability to activate after. • In another case (same setup, different game), this did NOT work, and the bug persisted. • Right-clicking the card or zooming in sometimes helps, but this workaround is unreliable. • This workaround is also impractical due to short timers during actual gameplay.Known Affected Cards (but not limited to):
• Bearer of Glory – Tarkir: Dragonstorm set • An unnamed enchantment giving a creature the activated ability to untap for 5 mana • Evolving WildsAdditional Information
• Issue persists after reinstalling the client • Issue is not fixed by restarting the game • Not caused by Auto Tap, summoning sickness, stack timing, or missing mana Not caused by other cards on the board that prevent activated abilities • Full Control Mode does not override or fix the problem • Has happened across multiple matches and cost me wins, including a recent game where I would have won by activating the ability but was unable to due to this bugImpact
This is a game-breaking bug. It causes major competitive and financial loss (especially in ranked or event play) and degrades trust in the platform. I have reported this before and received no actionable feedback or resolution. I’m submitting this again in hopes of proper escalation.
Request
Please:
• Investigate and reproduce this issue internally • Escalate to the development team if needed • Confirm whether this is a known bug and if a fix is planned • Offer compensation for games lost due to this issue, if applicableLet me know if you need logs, video evidence, or further testing steps. I’m happy to help resolve this.

Incorrectly passed priority while holding instant and mana to play it
I passed the turn to my opponent holding the card "Wail of War." I planned to use it during the opponent's attack, giving their creatures -1/-1 until end of turn. This was of utmost importance. Their board was largely one toughness creatures. Opponent attacked, then played a spell the gave their board +1/+1. The game client gave me no opportunity to react. It simply resolved their spell, skipped to combat damage and as a consequence I lost the game. It ended my draft run. I had more than enough mana to cast the instant. I did not skip turn or hit space bar. There was plenty of timer left. Game just arbitrarily decided I should lose. Very frustrating.

Midweek Magic Rip Off
Midweek magic event is supposed to be randomized cards pulled from packs that you choose one at a time. Yet every person I play against is like they've picked the perfect cards and they have four cards of the same great that was never even an option for me to choose from. What a joke. Complete joke man. Make the game fair for crying out loud

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)

Game Defeat suddenly (No reason for defeat)
during a draft event I was poised to win during my turn and suddenly the game ended with defeat and me losing and I had not even finished my turn. I grabbed the logs right after and hope this helps to resolve this issue. This has happened to me twice now.

Not able to buy gems (Steam version)
When I try to buy gems through the Steam version of MTGA, the store page shows the options, but when I click on the price to buy them, nothing happens. I don't get an error message or anything. It's just that nothing happens. Is it possible that it may be because there are no paid DLC options in the Steam store?

Screen resolution change when entering or leaving a match
Hi folks,
since the release of the new edtion, my game leaves the full screen mode everytime i left or enter the main screen before or after a match. The full screen setting remains if i go to the store or the deck builder, but with every match it goes to the basic size (i have a wide screen monitor). It uncheck the setting.
Attached is a log file but i don´t see anything that have to do with screen resolutions.

Smothering Tithe print shows it's Mythic, but requiring Rare wildcard
Was trying to craft Smothering Tithe. The print that I already have one of, and that shows up by default for that card, has a mythic rare symbol on it. When I refine the search to only mythic rare cards, it is there along with two others (see image). When I try to craft it, however, it says I don't have enough RARE wildcards. I have two mythics, but no rares. The attached images show all the necessary details.
