Deck Validation Failed - Bug
Imported pioneer deck from a tournament page (so should be a valid deck)
bought some art styles (7k gold total i believe) and changed art styles of some cards
tried to play pioneer best of 3 queue
got error message “deck validation failed”
tested other different deck in pioneer format, deck works
back to the 1st deck that gives error, tried to change some art styles and play in pioneer historic and timeless queues
error still the same “deck validation failed”
so, just wasted some gold and can't play the deck in any format that supposedly should be legal

Mana
It seems maybe one out of 20 games I get access to more than 2 mana and have any shot at casting anything. No matter the deck, card draw, mulligan, anything. I have decks absolutely embarrassed with mana count and blue decks that are full of cars draw and when I play multiple games and don't get more than one mana it really seems like the algorithm is completely broken. Why would I want to put money into a game that's broken?

Mill half opponents deck cards are absolute ******* joke
The fact that you even created cards that allow a player to mill have their opponents deck is really a ******* joke, and makes me want to delete my account and blast MTG Arena anywhere and everywhere I can so that nobody ever plays this game again. All they have to do is drop two of these cards and game over. Whoever even thought of making this a thing should've been fired on the spot. But no, you actually thought this was a good idea. With all the cards you ban, you allow this. ******* joke

Fix your game
Magic: The Gathering Arena’s shuffler is the digital equivalent of a spiteful toddler being handed a 60-card deck and told to "make it hurt." What used to be the gold standard of strategic card gaming has been reduced to a rigged slot machine that fundamentally refuses to simulate reality. The sheer statistical impossibility of the "Arena experience" is breathtaking.
In paper Magic, a bad draw is a fluke; in Arena, "mana *****" and "mana flood" aren't bugs—they’re the core gameplay loop. You either keep a two-land hand and never see a third source of mana for the rest of your natural life, or you draw twelve consecutive basic lands while your opponent curves out with the precision of a Swiss watch. The "Hand Smoothing" algorithm in Best-of-One is the ultimate gaslighting tool. By trying to "fix" variance, Wizards of the Coast has created a predictable, sterilized version of the game where deck-building nuance is dead. It rewards greedy, degenerate mana bases and punishes anything resembling a fair deck, turning every match into a coin flip determined by the algorithm before a single card is even played.
This isn’t just incompetence; it’s a calculated, pathetic money grab. By engineering "non-games" through a broken shuffler, the system pushes players toward a predatory pay-to-win cycle where the only solution to the algorithm’s whims is to dump more money into "optimized" power-crept cards. The focus has shifted entirely from competitive integrity to a disgusting obsession with gem sales and FOMO. It has single-handedly sucked the soul out of the game. The tension of the draw is gone, replaced by a cynical realization that the shuffler is actively working against you to keep your win rate tethered to a forced 50%. Arena hasn’t just failed at being a simulator—it has managed to make playing Magic feel like a chore you’re paying to complete. It’s a cowardly betrayal of the game’s legacy.

Cards being placed on opponents side or in one big mass in the middle of the playing field
Playing on Android. When I am forced to "reconnect" due to whatever issue, either the playing field will show up extremely glitchy, or my cards are placed in the wrong spot, and so are my opponents. Which leads to it being impossible to see what's going on. The most recent time it happened, I even closed the game and cleared the cache, after getting kicked in the middle of a draft.

Dark patterns. Forcing us to events in game menus.
Feedback for WOTC.
The ability to give feedback is extremely polluted, by your design. Do you believe this is good for your customers to not be able to report players easily for stalling? And leaving feedback for you to improve?
You have changed the in game menus so that instead of being able to play Standard, Alchemy games etc you are priming me for the events I have 0 interest in. This is a dark design pattern and a manipulation trick that is toxic. I do not want to have to press esc just to get into the menu I want to have to press "Play" again to get into my games. You should be ashamed of yourselves for milking out every cent from your customers and also providing a ton of useless content that does absolutely nothing for most players other than increasing game time. You have lost my respect. I hope you regain it.

Etrata, Deadly Fugitive card turning bot working
This has happened two times already. I have gotten two face down, non-creature cards with Etrata on my battlefield. Both of the cards were a result of cloaking from the opponents library from previous attacks. I try to exile the face down card and cast it for free with Etrata's ability, but instead nothing happens and the card goes straight to the opponent's graveyeard. Cost me the win in two games as i spent four mana to do nothing. I was playing on Android version 2026.58.20.6022.1265441

Turn skipped after playing card
Turn gets skipped after I play a land. Could not play a second card and turn skipped to opponent. Getting timed out every turn without interaction. Instant did not resolve properly and led to a face down card in my hand that I could not interact with. When I clicked concede, the Options menu button simply disappeared. Eventually had to force quit the entire application. Cost me a game in Premier Draft.

Saw/drew the top 17 cards in my deck and only had 2 lands. No I did not muligan. No I did not discard any. I was playing 17 lands in my deck. I think there is a bug in your game with shuffling and statistical odds

Game freezing on android
I've already posted that my game is Freezing but I failed to include it's on the android app.
I've gathered a lot of instances that trigger the freeze such as:
-Attacking
-looking at opponent's hand
-ultima resolving and ending the turn
-Phelia exiling a token
-watching a card on my own hand
-Annihilator sacrificing a token
-trigger from weaver of souls
-opp casting their commander
-Any sweeper
-looting with pirate's pillage
This has been happening at least since Feb 25th (I'm not sure, as I could've given grace that it was my phone for some days), and I'm afraid to play the new set as I fear my game will freeze and I'll be awarded a loss, losing my money.
I beg for any acknowledgement on this issue, or any hope on y'all fixing it.
I've got screenshots of every one of these instances.I've already posted that my game is Freezing but I failed to include it's on the android app.

FIX DECK BUILDING JEEZZUS
It’s been a while since you broke the card count/deck details button.
After the TMNT update, changing lands starting crashing the app.
Now IN DRAFT, YOU CAN’T EDIT A DECK BY ADDING/REMOVING CARDS INDIVIDUALLY ANYMORE
You have to leave and re-enter the deck builder and remove cards from your entire draft pool one by one.
And if you misclick once, start all over. Then hope you don’t get the LAND options bug and have to start from the beginning again4 votes
