Insatiable Avarice
If you have the mana to use both options shouldn’t you get to draw 3 random cards and then specifically select one? Because when you use both options you only get one you specifically selected and 2 random cards.

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.

Repurposing Bay won't allow me to fetch for an artifact
I just lost a draft game because Repurposing Bay did not work as intended. I activated its ability and sacrificed Spotcycle Scouter to go search my library for an artifact card with mana value 3 or less (since Spotcycle Scouter has mana value 2). The game showed me the cards in my deck, which were all grey and unselectable, despite having artifacts costing less than 3 (such as Nesting Bot or Guidelight Optimizer, all unselectable). I ended up refusing the selection since it was the only option available. Basically I played Repurposing Bay and sacrificed an artifact for nothing, which led to my loss a couple turns later.

shuffle
I have noticed that the opening hand barely shuffles, I end up drawing the almost the same cards every single time with high mana costs like the 10 mana for Ulamog, The Ceaseless Hunger, and doing mulligan barely helps. Is there a way to escalate this because it's annoying and especially when playing brawl with 25 lives I'm forced to do decks with creatures with low mana costs and I want to play other stuff, but I'm very limited by the game itself.

My opponents are always so lucky
Boy it sure is amazing how often my opponent has the answer to my board state. It's almost like the Algorithm can intentionally give my opponent the optimal hand to beat me or at least change the board state in their favor. It doesn't always happen, but it definitely happens a majority of the time. I can put 20 ramp spells in a deck and be lucky to see one. I play against blue and I have to face a borage of counter magic, black non stop spot removal, play an indestructible or hexproof creature they have an edict effect. It just gets absolutely exhausting dealing with this garbage all the time.

Inaccurate Rankings MidWeek Magic
In MidWeek magic this week, I had a diamond icon next to my name, as did my opponents. My opponents definitely played diamond-level, but I am bronze in limited and platinum in constructed - I have never been diamond. Please fix this in future events.

Kothis does not trigger properly
I played against Ygra and Kothis ability triggered but would not let me cast anything, despite there being several eligible spells. Furthermore, Ygra kept making creatures into foods despite having been enchanted with Imprisoned in the Moon.

Bug on activating
Board-state included:
- Ayula, Queen Among Bears
- Lumra, Bellow of the Woods
- Roaming Throne (with "Bear" as selected creature type)
- Maskwood Nexus
- 2 Snow Forest, put onto the battlefield by a Roaming Throne doubled Lumra triggerMaskwood Nexus suggested using two tapped land for paying it's cost (I believe the very lands fetched by Lumra). When the shapeshifter entered the battlefield, the expected result was two triggers by Ayula (again, Roaming Throne doubling). However, instead of those triggers going to the stack, they auto resolved, with the first one setting two counters on an unselected Ayula, and the second one resulting in a fight between Ayula and an unselected (undesired) creature. Needless to say, it cost me the game.
To summarise:
- Game suggested 2 tapped lands for paying an activated ability cost (my hypothesis is those lands being "bugged" due to the interaction between Lumra and Roaming Throne being programmatically broken)
- The expected triggers in resolving said activated ability auto-resolved without player input, instead of going on the stack.Board-state included:
- Ayula, Queen Among Bears

Bug report cards are getting giant and aren’t going where they’re supposed to in the tutorial
During the tutorial the game keeps bugging out to the point of the swamp deck tutorial and I can’t even finish the tutorial, I have tried replaying this mission 3 times hoping the problem would go away but it has persisted during the fight with the swamp deck and when I use “confront the assault” card, not allowing me to block with the three 1/1 creatures that are supposed to appear but seem to be stuck glitched in the same place most the other cards on the field are glitched at, I play on iOS and pretty frustrated with the bug

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

Legions to Ashes unable to target Hooded Blightfang
Opponent played Hooded Blightfang. It's a nonland creature with no abilities that would block targeting by Legions to Ashes. Legions to Ashes allows me to exile opponent's target nonland permanent and any tokens with the same name. The opponent also had nothing on the field that would've prevented Legions to Ashes from working or targeting their permanents. Regardless of these facts, I was unable to target Hooded Blightfang with Legions to Ashes.

Arena Cube exited match and counted it as a loss
My score was 3-2 in Arena Cube BO1. While my opponent was taking their ~5th turn, the game quickly changed to a loading screen, then took me out of my match. The game did not say draw, win or lose at this point. When I was back in the Cube Sreen my score was 3 -3 and all I could do was claim my rewards

Games keeps on crashing even with stable internet. It keeps on disconnecting even with stable internet.
The game keeps on crashing and disconnecting even with stable internet. I play on PC/Laptop and my specs are acceptable. I tried lowering the graphics but it still keeps on disconnecting. Need help with this matter, the game is no longer fun when you can't play properly.

Competitive
I've worked my way through the ranks to plat T4, but have in a previous season been Diamond T2, and i keep running into decks that should be Mythic level and win turn 4 or 5. How do you expect competitive play to be exactly that competitive when decks in themselves, i think, should have a rating attached to them, especially with a deck that has a load of mox or p9 cards. where is the curve exactly on how matching up with another random player fits into the game, i should only be matched with people in same tier as me.
