Sparky stuck in "Hmmm."-ing out turn - Need a way to force Sparky's play
Bug: As of 9/7/23 Sparky is stuck in "Hmmm."-ing on their turn to play. Is Sparky teaching roping as a valid strategy now?
Situation: Sparky has any number of cards or even no cards in hand. It is Sparky's first main phase. I am in a winning position just playing cards to try to get to test a new card in my 100-card singleton deck. Sparky Hmmms for ~ 17 minutes, then I get the victory screen. Sparky doesn't even say "You got me!", such a sore loser! This happened today against Sparky's Blue, Black, Red, White, and Green decks.
The reason this is bad:
- Roping is bad enough vs. humans. It is no fun at all vs. Sparky.
- Getting a Time Out victory when testing a new card in my deck is not good. I may not even draw the card before this Analysis Paralysis state kicks in.
- The current timer is way too long to wait to have a game simply end.
- The only way to end the match is to drain my device's battery for over 15 minutes or to concede the match. Yuck.Solution: We need a way to force Sparky's play.
Ideas:
- Set Sparky's turn timer to 15 seconds: Once time is used up "thinking" a play or pass decision is enacted
- If the player emotes "Your go" a number of times (maybe 3?) before Sparky has played, a play or pass decision is enacted
- Fix the code that has Sparky getting stuck in the first place.Bug: As of 9/7/23 Sparky is stuck in "Hmmm."-ing on their turn to play. Is Sparky teaching roping as a valid strategy now?

TextMeshPro abuse with WOTC DisplayName = 100% win rate against Desktop and iPad opponents
MTG Arena does not sanitize user Display Names. A nefarious user can create a Display Name with TextMeshPro markup to have an unfair advantage (100% win rate) against players using Desktop and iPads. This can cause frustration with other gamers and lead to loss of revenue if paying customers decide to leave the platform.
However, in performing this abuse, a player has lost a lot of game functionality themselves. For example, they must also play on mobile only or play with a modified client on an affected device.
It is easy for any user to create a new account (no email verification before you can play), a very easy exploit for users to abuse.
Due to the reasons listed above, I’d classify this as a low (maybe medium) risk/issue.
Proof of Concept / Reproduction steps:
Register a new WOTC account at: https://myaccounts.wizards.com/register
Create a character Display Name with TextMeshPro size markup and >= 4 unicode block elements:
<size=9999>████[photo 1 - displayname]
Upon playing, you will notice match screens will show a large white box (the name).
Example photo, me playing a game against Sparky:
[photo 2 - affected game]
I have also confirmed a real opponent sees the same thing on Desktop when battling this user.
I did not test on an iPad myself, however, I believe they are affected as online videos of iPad use (example link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZewSXhYKRB8) show names displayed on screen, unlike mobile phones which are not affected (tested on Android).
[photo 3 - iPad client YouTube video]
Mobile devices are unaffected as Display Names are not shown at all times during the match. The user abusing this will have to use a mobile device (or an otherwise patched client) to get past the tutorial and play human opponents.
Remediation:
Sanitize user input before passing to [TextMeshPro] sinks and/or restrict WOTC display name character sets.

Can’t check deck stats on premier draft
When playing on ATLA premier draft on mobile, during deck building I am unable to check my stats. After tapping to see creature/noncreature spell ratios, color ratios, etc., when I attempt to tap the back button the prompt to change my deck name appears and I have to go do a different tab to go back into deckbuilding. It’s extremely frustrating and once back in the deckbuilding, all the cards in the pool are added and you start from scratch.

dragonfly
I cast Ember Island Production, copying my Dragonfly Swarm, but the token did not have the 2nd ability of “This creature's power is equal to the number of noncreature, nonland cards in your graveyard”, so it was only a 4/4 that did not have extra power due to the instants and sorceries in my graveyard.

MTGA macOS fullscreen resolution bug reintroduced (Aug 20, 2025 patch)
Platform: macOS (MacBook Air M2 13", 2560×1664 display, Epic Games Launcher)
Since the August 20, 2025 patch, MTGA no longer respects custom fullscreen resolutions on macOS.
Before this update, I was able to run the game in 2560×1440 fullscreen (16:9) using Epic Launcher arguments (-screen-fullscreen 1 -screen-width 2560 -screen-height 1440).
After the patch, MTGA forces fullscreen into native 16:10 (2560×1664), cropping UI on the left/right edges, and ignores any -screen-width/-screen-height overrides.
Windowed mode still works correctly and allows 16:9 resolutions, but fullscreen no longer behaves as expected.Steps to reproduce:
On macOS, set Epic Games Launcher additional arguments:
-screen-fullscreen 1 -screen-width 2560 -screen-height 1440Launch MTGA in fullscreen.
Observe that the game ignores the requested resolution and forces native 16:10 with cropped UI.Expected behavior:
Fullscreen should respect the requested 2560×1440 (16:9) resolution as it did prior to the Aug 20, 2025 patch.Additional notes:
This bug was first reported after the v2025.48 update in April 2025, and seems to have resurfaced in the Aug 20, 2025 patch.
Multiple users have confirmed the same regression on macOS.

Create non-alchemy versions of existing formats.
I certainly feel it is safe to say the general consensus towards alchemy cards is overall negative. Many arena players like myself simply want a convenient way to play magic online using decks we may already have in real life, or simply decks that we have created with cards we know of. Alchemy stands in the way of that.
Given that alchemy cards are generally powerful and their digital nature, players are left dissatisfied with the intrusion of alchemy cards into "paper" formats. Decks that do not utilize alchemy cards are very likely to fall victim to decks that usually do, with little or no resistance. Likewise, Alchemy cards do not belong in the Historic format, because they are not cards in magic's history. They aren't even cards.
Pioneer does not solve this because it invalidates decks that may be legal in historic, but not pioneer.
The way I see it, there's two ways to appease players who feel this way:
Remove Alchemy from Historic and similar formats, and potentially create Alchemy variants of these formats.
Leave these formats alone and create 'Paper' variants of these formats that do not allow alchemy cards.TLDR: Many players like myself do not like interacting with alchemy cards and want to play formats that do not use them.

Listen to the 75k bloody suggestions below and add a Report Player Option
Seriously. How many times has it been suggested to allow people to report those who abuse the time out rule? Just spent God knows how many minutes in a game with someone who said 'good game' turn 1 when I Thought seized his win con. He proceeded to let the timer ALLLLLMOST run out every single time he had the control. Username: MagicMan40. Let us report these people and make magic fun to play

Infinte loop when creating a token of Three Blind Mice when no other tokens are controlled by the user and the user has Doubling Season
When the user controls Doubling Season and no tokens and then creates - with whatever method - a token copy of Three Blind Mice the second lore counter (Create a token that's a copy of target token you control.) resolves before the first lore counter (Create a 1/1 white Mouse creature token.) Since the only token(s) that the user controls are token versions of Three Blind Mice this causes an endless loop of creating more and more tokens of Three Blind Mice. This will, eventually, cause a draw because there is no user interaction possible other than selecting which token version of Three Blind Mice to copy.

Elvish archdruid not targetable AND had effects of Elvish Warmaster. Then turned in to Elvish Warmaster.
Historic ranked play.
Elvish archdruid was not targetable by an instant, despite nothing else on battlefield, in opponents hand or in graveyard. Other creatures had been targetable that turn and destroyed. AND Elvish Archdruid had effects of Elvish Warmaster (a token was created when another elf entered) Then next turn turned in to Elvish Warmaster!
Either a bug or hacked?

Priority on redirect/retargetting
- Play a removal spell (eg Bitter Triump) targetting an opposing creature
- Opponent plays a redirection spell (eg Redirect Lightning)
- You click "Resolve" to let the redirection spell resolve, still planning to take a decision after you get to know the new targets
Expectation: you get a priority window before your removal spell resolves.
Actual result: Arena will pass all priority and resolve the whole stack3 votes
