1. Barrowin of Clan Undurr - Ability triggering when it shouldn't be.

   Barrowin of Clan Undurr - The ability of this card is triggering when it shouldn't be. The text says that you can return a card from your graveyard IF you've COMPLETED a dungeon. But the ability is triggering BEFORE the dungeon is completed. So my opponent was able to return cards from their graveyard before they had completed a dungeon.
   They first played a bunch of cards with dungeon abilities, I used burn spells to kill them and send them to the graveyard. But when they played Barrowin a few turns later, the ability triggered at the end of their turn just as if they had already completed the dungeon. But that shouldn't have been the case because they never attacked with those creatures that I killed. The ability shouldn't be triggering. They were then able to overwhelm me with creatures that they shouldn't have been able to bring into the battlefield at all.
   Please see the attached log file.

2. Land - Restless Vinestalk

   The card text states:

   For amount of mana it becomes 5/5 creature with trample , but remains after end of turn as 5/5 creature, while keeping it's land abilities it gives certain type's of deck unfair ability to use cards with ability as long as you control creature with power 4 or more draw a card in coupling with with "Garruk's Uprising" or similar from previous releases along with Vivian out it becomes near zero chance to overcome (mana adventage + creature adventage + extra card draw) - unless a power-meta deck is used.

   Anything u bring out - Vivian is capable to destroy, opponents cards remain on table

   Revise the combo and make card combination banned , or just revise land ability to solve - after turn , turn back to land - to be used again , pay mana cost.

   Suggestion would make a check land turning back in to its state as Land, when turn ends.

3. Rigged shuffler

   So an analog paper card shuffler thats 100% random (without clumping and Hastarded manipulations) can demonstrate how 22 mana could run a healthy deck with a mana curve of 4.That said, somehow 24 is needed for a mana curve apparently of 2-3.So offset,and with that data accrued it makes sense for this ****** fish barrel for whales.
   I thought of going for the championship by spending the time to play that long everyday but if I did that it would only be so I could go live and in the middle of playing point out all this BS.
   Anyhow someone should do it,just as someone should hack it and give out to everyone cards,gold and gems.
   2 cards per mana + 1, was and still is a golden rule.

5. Couldn’t access game in progress after closing mobile app

   I was playing a draft on my phone, record was 1-2 and was about to win my 2nd game. I exited the game to respond to a text, couldn’t have been more than 15 seconds, it was my opponent’s turn and I still had both of my timeouts mind you, and I come back and after a few loading screens it sends me to the main menu, still 1-2. I close and open the game again, and now I’m 1-3. I guess the game disconnected me and my opponent had to wait for my timeouts to run out while I wasn’t able to play. I had this happen a while ago in aetherdrift, I was 1-2 again and I actually started another game and won, and came back to a 2-3 record. I shrugged it off then because my deck wasn’t good but this time made me pretty tilted because both of my actual losses were mana screwed and mana flooded and I think I could’ve gotten 4-6 wins even after that.

6. Bug d'intéaction

   I attempted to use the following interaction:

   I had one blue mana and one red mana available.
   I wanted to cast Play with Fire, then counter it with An Offer You Can’t Refuse in order to create two Treasure tokens.

   However, Arena immediately resolves Play with Fire without giving me the opportunity to respond and counter it, even though I have the required mana available.

   Nothing in the text of either card should prevent this interaction, so this appears to be a bug and I would like it to be corrected.

   J'ai souhaité utilisez le combo suivant :

   J'ai une mana bleu et une mana rouge disponible > je souhaite utilisez Play with Fire puis de le contre avec An Offer You Can't Refuse pour me créer deux jetons trésors.
   Mais le Arena applique directement l'effet de Play with Fire sans me donner de possibilité de le contrer alors que j'ai la mana pour

7. Incorrect trample distribution damage interface on Diamon Weapon

   When Diamond weapon blocks, Arena client does not allow to distribute trample damage, if any damage was dealt to it. Encountered this in situation described in “WTR” section and because of this I've lost my draft while having lethal. I should've dealt 8 damage to an opponent while they had 6 life and it cost me the game. Please compensate me a couple of hundred gems I've lost because of this.

   WTR
   1. Start turn with Diamond Weapon in the play, Light of Judgmen in hand and at least 10 lands, including at least 1 red source. Opponen has an untapped Diamond Weapon as well
   2. Equip it with Samurai's Katana.
   3. Attack with it.
   4. Opponent blocks with Diamond Weapon
   5. Cast Light of Judgement targeting opponent's Diamond Weapon
   6. Go to Combat Damage step

   Expected Result: interface must allow you to deal at least 2 damage to blocker and up to 8 damage to an opponent.
   Actual Result: interface dose not allow to deal less than 8 damage to blocker

   According to rules:
   702.19b The controller of an attacking creature with trample first assigns damage to the creature(s) blocking it. Once all those blocking creatures are assigned lethal damage, any excess damage is assigned as its controller chooses among those blocking creatures and the player, planeswalker, or battle the creature is attacking. When checking for assigned lethal damage, take into account damage already marked on the creature and damage from other creatures that's being assigned during the same combat damage step, but not any abilities or effects that might change the amount of damage that's actually dealt. The attacking creature's controller need not assign lethal damage to all those blocking creatures but in that case can't assign any damage to the player or planeswalker it's attacking.

9. Opponent's Creature didn't die when It was given -X/-X

   Was in a win or go home game of a draft and Exhausted Winter, Cursed Rider's Ability after chump blocking a Sunmare to make it a 7/4 after combat damage (was originally a 7/8. X =4 to give all non artifact Creatures -X/-X. Opponent had previously given it indestructible but was under the impression the rule was that -X/-Xing a creature Below its toughness got around Indestructibility and Sent it to the graveyard. Opponent was then able to use this bug to win the game since I had to waste a Stun counter spell on the Sunmare instead of stunning their artifact Creature to prevent crewing, we both flooded for 4 turns after that so I should have been able to Punch through for lethal if they didn't have the ability to Crew their vehicle and this cost me my draft. I am very upset about it.

10. Wan Shi Tong, All-Knowing inconsistencies

    Wan Shi Tong, All Knowing and Dutiful Knowledge Seeker were printed in the TLE.
    These cards have triggered abilities that trigger "Whenever one or more cards are put into a library from anywhere"
    Cards like Impulse and Anticipate that look at a number of cards, put one into your hand , and "the rest on the bottom" do not trigger these cards on Arena.
    Cards like Moment of Truth and Sleight of Hand that look at a number of cards, but instruct to put only 1 cards on the bottom (one on the bottom, the other on the bottom) do trigger Wan Shi Tong (WST)

    This is inconsistent between effects that put cards onto the bottom of the library.
    It seems that because of the "one or more", WST should be triggered by Anticipate and Impulse just like the cards that only return 1 cards to the bottom.

    Hurkyl and other effects that instruct to "put the rest" on the bottom all seem to not work, even though it's one or more and single cards to the bottom do trigger WST.

    Please correct or give expanded rulings.

11. russian or Ukrainian language

    Hello! We had russian language in MTGA before the russian invasion to Ukraine, it was okey for me. Im from Ukraine and I wonder will we have russian or Ukrainian localisation soon? I appreciate your politics against russian invasion but huge companies always forget about Ukrainians in their Ukraine's supporting. Understand me please, your supporting makes Ukrainians only worse and we have to use English in your games and this makes UX unplayable for us. English isnt our native language and its very hard to orient in lots of cards and their texts. I hope on your understanding and care in this delicate situation.

    I support russophobic politics due to being Ukrainian, but only if it doesnt affect me

12. Deck browsing while tutoring

    When searching the deck for a card, because of a tutor effect, the interface is very unpractical to me, especially on mobile. I propose to have the ability to scroll a compact text list, like when you choose a name or a card type, which would show the card name and mana cost. I'll explain my issues.
    Firstly, the browser shows ALL the cards in your deck, not just the proper ones. While I understand this makes the game more realistic and favors strategical planning, it results in an unproper behaviour of the slider. I often can't highlight the card I'm looking for, because the cards are too many and the slider isn't sensitive enough. For example, in the attached screenshot, I couldn't easily get to the Plains behind the Islands.
    If I'm not tapping on the wrong card, I need so many attempts to get it right that I'm always running out of time!
    Secondly, the "fan" opening of the cards makes impossible to properly look at their mana cost, which can be very relevant in the mid of a game.
    A compact visual scroller (or the option to use it) would make the search smoother and improve the flow of the game.

14. Broken Japanese message regarding the expiration of the mastery

    As the end of the current mastery approaches, the message on the mastery page has changed to "This mastery expires in XX:XX:XX." (where X is a digit) from "XX days". If you play in Japanese UI, however, the message is broken and doesn't show the remaining time.

    Steps to reproduce the bug

    1. Run MTG Arena under the Jaspanese Locale (Adjust Options > Graphics > Locale > 日本語 (Japanese). You may need to exit and restart the game for the change to take effect.)
    2. Visit the Mastery page.

    Platform

    PC (Windows 11 Pro 23H2 build 22631.4751)

    Actual results

    A flushing message below the page title starts with "セット・マスタリーの有効期限まで{daysCount}時間。".

    Note that, comparing the text with its English version, I believe the "{daysCount}" is a placeholder for the remaining time.

    Expected results

    The message should read something like: "セット・マスタリーの有効期限までXX:XX:XX時間。" if we respect the current poor translation, or it could be improved like: "今回のマスタリーはあとXX:XX:XXで終了します。".

    Relevant screenshots/videos

    See the attachment.

    Workaround

    None known (except for not playing in Japanese).

15. "Naktamun in neuem Glanz (Y25) 2" bugged

    Good morning,

    Bug report:

    The card
    “Naktamun in New Splendor (Y25) 2” (?)
    (german: "Naktamun in neuem Glanz (Y25) 2")
    appears to be bugged...

    Level 2:
    The search for the card in the library cannot be initiated.
    Ideally, a button should appear here that allows activation.
    But the procedure described in the pop-up also does not work:
    No card can be drawn from the library to the hand. Neither directly from the deck nor by double-clicking on the library. The latter only shows the backs of the cards and does not allow selection.

    Level 1:
    It would be helpful to include a note that the bonus only applies to creatures that are already in play. And that the bonuses remain in effect even after the saga ends. The text suggests that the bonus applies to all creature cards with a mana cost of 2 or less. Including the library, graveyard, and exile.
    If that is indeed the intention, then this is also a bug.

    Level 3:
    A pop-up would be helpful here to indicate that all creatures now have flying.
    However, I had the impression that this did not work either (didn't test again).

    Incidentally, it would be very helpful for bug reports if the English name of the card were also displayed in the game. Is that possible somehow?

    Best regards,
    Laconda

17. Stop Rewarding Trolls

    MTGA rewards and encourages timer trolling in a number of ways I will detail here.

    • Lack of a chat means complete anonymity and a lack of social pressure against trolling. There is no way to socially punish trolls or discourage trolls through community action in chats. You may have removed chats to stop abuse, but the truth is you've stopped social pressure against abuse

    • Lack of a report feature within the app means that players also can't effectively get WOTC attention on the issue. Hiding the ability to report a player behind the bug reports, and putting that bug report feature somewhere other than in MTGA itself means that you're effectively hiding the report feature from players who need it, protecting the trolls. It doesn't help that the bug report itself is buggy, as I had no intention of posting this here, but it won't let me submit a traditional bug report so here I am

    • Players have no recourse against trolls that doesn't give them exactly what they want. Players are either stuck sitting there through the trolling having a terrible play experience, or forced to concede and allow the troll to win. Players are literally being turned into a captive audience for the trolls by WOTC. You are delivering them victims on a silver platter and then taking away any method the victim has to fight back.

    In short, WOTC is actively on the side of the trolls. Your game is designed to reward trolls. Your game is designed to subject players to trolls without anything they can do about it. And your game is designed in such a way that we can't even easily and effectively report trolls. And thus your game is full of trolls and the play experience is excruciating.

18. Affordances for Infinite Mana production / Unlimited card draw engines

    I have been playing around with a pet deck in Arena Standard which can generate infinite mana and unlimited card draw, but the effectiveness of doing so has been stymied by games being forced to a draw or me being forced to cease drawing cards and generating mana by Arena's "stall protection". It seems to believe that no progress is being made in the game state, even though I am continuously drawing cards and developing my field, as well as generating enough mana to cast a way to close out the game.

    The specific cards I am using are Agatha's Soul Cauldron with a Sleep-Cursed Faerie exiled by it, two or more copies of Badgermole Cub in order to generate infinite mana -- all creatures that can tap for mana with +1/+1 counters on them, such as a land animated by Earthbending, will tap for [X] plus [G] for each instance of Badgermole Cub, and can then untap themselves for [2] using Sleep-Cursed Faerie's activated ability, adding one mana to the pool each time --

    And Stormchaser's Talent and Boomerang Basics to draw an unlimited number of cards -- [U] to cast Stormchaser's Talent, [3U] to return Boomerang Basics to hand from the graveyard, [U] to cast Boomerang Basics targeting Stormchaser's Talent, drawing a card in the process, which can be repeated indefinitely thanks to generating unlimited mana --

    Which can be then done until a finisher, usually Craterhoof Behemoth or an arbitrarily large Goldvein Hydra can be drawn and cast.

    I recognized that there are severe downsides to using this strategy on a digital client compared to playing in paper -- in paper play, I could simply demonstrate that the mana generation loop is indeed a loop, have my opponent acknowledge it, and say I repeat the process until I generate an arbitrarily large amount of mana, compared to having to click through the abilities manually for each iteration of the loop -- which cannot reasonably be solved due to the limitations of said digital format.

    However, I believe the game being forced to draw in the case of the mana generation loop is not a reasonable result. As long as additional mana is being added to a player's mana pool and has ways to spend it, the game state is progressing, not being stalled. I would appreciate if an affordance for situations like this was made in Arena.

19. Wizard's Lightning does not see that Slickshot Show-Off is a Wizard when cast.

    Slickshot Show-Off is a Bird Wizard.
    The text of Wizard's Lightning reads "This spell costs 2 less if you control a Wizard."
    Therefore, with a Slickshot Show-Off on board, Wizard's Lightning should cost R, not R2.

    I plotted Slickshot Show-Off on turn 2 and summoned it on turn 3, intending to follow up Wizard's Lightning with additional spells that turn.
    
    To my horror, all 3 of my mana went to Wizard's Lightning instead. (Log attached.)

    I chose to continue, and my opponent removed the first Slickshot Show-Off on their turn.
    But on turn 4, I drew a second one, which I chose to hard-cast this time.
    On turn 5, I drew another Wizard's Lightning, which showed the alternate casting cost correctly.
    But, when I played it, 3 lands were tapped instead of only 1.
    At this point, I was out of gas and had to concede the match.

    Meanwhile, both turns where I cast Wizard's Lightning, my opponent had only an Esper Sentinel and Innovative Metatect, and lands to cast them on board. (Both times, Innovative Metatect was the target of Wizard's Lightning.)
    Other than the Portable Holes used to remove my Slickshot Show-Offs, nothing else was played before the final turn, where I stopped paying attention and conceded.

    None of these cards alter the casting cost of Wizard's Lightning or the creature type of Slickshot Show-Off.
    Therefore, I believe this is a bug. Please correct. Thanks.

20. Card search issue that caused by unicode equivalent

    For smooth communication, this issue written in English.

    I have tried searching “ライフ” that means “life” in Japanese. But search result also showed “library” related cards. “library” spelled in Japanese is “ライブラリ”.

    This issue caused by unicode equivalence in card database. Card texts in database were stored as combination of Japanese charactor “フ” and Japanese diacritic dakuten “゛”.

    This issue often happens when windows software reads text written by macOS.

    It is very irritating. Search results should not include unrelated cards.
