forage
I tried to use forage by exiling cards from my graveyard, but it wouldn't let me select cards to exile. So it is not letting me forage that way. I was using Ostemancer Adept from Bloomburrow and tried to use it ability. I have 4 creature cards in my graveyard. I tried to cast 1, and exile the other 3, but when I casted the spell it asked me to select 3 cards to exile, but it wouldn't not let me select them.

Can't respond to own board wipe
I run a mono-white angel deck with a number of board wipe and Teferi's Protection. When I try to case a board wipe (Day of Judgment, divine reckoning, etc) with Teferi's protection in hand, it won't let me cast it to protect my own creatures even if I have the mana to cast both spells. Shouldn't I be able to respond to my own spell on the stack in this way?

Sparky Observations and Suggestions
This report contains observations regarding the Sparky bot. I have lost no coins or anything, nor am I bothered by having lost any games because of these observations.
- When Affectionate Indrik enters, it immediately battles most powerful creature, when battling another creature would ensure Indrik's survival and actually remove an opponent's creature. Also, it always fights, even when there's nothing to gain from it, resulting in the loss of Indrik but no loss of opponent's creature.
- Sparky used a 0/5 wall to block a 3/3 creature instead of 1/3 toxic insect, resulting in the loss of the game that turn. If the 3/3 had got through, the game would have continued.
- When blocking, often doubles the blockers even though one would stop all damage, and multiple blockers don't actually kill attacker. And Sparky will often use all her creatures to block a single attacker, thus resulting in the end of the game since other creatures get through without being blocked. At other times, Sparky will not block with one or more of her creatures, resulting in the end of the game.
- Sparky will often attack with her creatures even though the total damage to the player is minimal, thus having no creatures to block the player's next attack, resulting in the end of the game. If Sparky had kept back her creatures as blockers, the game would continue.
- Last turn of the game and Sparky does not block when she has a creature (or multiple creatures) to do so, thus losing the game without bothering to block when she can. Sparky seems more interested in saving her creatures than blocking enough attacking creatures to keep the game going.
- Sparky doesn't seem to take into account "protection against color" and will use multiple creatures to block, the multiple adding up to an amount that would normally kill the attacker.
- Sparky does not seem to understand indestructible, meaning Sparky will use multiple defense creatures to try to kill such a creature to no avail, thus causing Sparky to lose creatures she does not need to lose.
- Sparky does not seem to understand double-strike, meaning Sparky will defend with enough creatures to kill a non-double-strike creature but not enough to actually kill the attacking creature.
- When Sparky is playing Red and is going to use Shock, there is a delay that gives away that fact. After playing my mana, I can click Next to see if Sparky will use it before I play a creature card. If Shock will be used, there is a longer delay than if Shock is not going to be played. (I wonder if black's Compound Fracture works the same way, but I have so far not had an instance when I could detect it.)
- Also with Shock, Sparky usually delays using it until the end of the player's turn, even though using it earlier would block many things. Example: Elvish Archdruid is 2/2 and could be stopped with Shock. But because Sparky delays using Shock, Elvish Archdruid can be upped to 3/3 (or higher) using other Elf creatures that give +1/+1.
- With Manifest Dread, the face-down card is placed next to other creatures that are the same, which gives away what creature is hidden/face down.
- Sparky will always turn over face-down cards, even when doing so makes the creature have less power/defense.
- Sometimes Sparky will attack with a 0/* creature (Armored Whirl Turtle), even when it can be destroyed by defenders.
- Sparky will frequently attack with creatures that can easily be killed by a single defending creature.
I can provide images (or maybe video) of some of these if you need to see them.
SUGGESTION: Create a second "smarter" Sparky bot to play against players who want more of a challenge but do not want to play live players. I for one cannot play other live players, as the minor stress sometimes causes my cardiac fibrillation to start up. (I frankly cannot explain why playing a bot does not cause me stress while playing a live player does, but live players do stress me. I know: weird.) Usually such a fibrillation episode is not bad, but I cannot take that risk, since my fibrillation has ended me up in the hospital twice (but so far not from playing Magic). I very much enjoy playing Magic the Gathering Arena, and I would like more of a challenge by the bot. It seems you could simply make the "rules" that govern Sparky a bit different while still keeping the same decks. Better yet, give Sparky better decks. Maybe even make two more Sparky bots, one that challenges players very strongly and another that plays in between the teaching/beginner Sparky and the super-advanced Sparky.

draw
At game start, it takes over 1 minute to "Find opponent" and the cancel button is gone after 20 seconds so I cannot back out. After about 80 seconds, the match starts and immediately ends in a Draw. This has happened 5 out of my last 7 or 8 games. It is VERY rare that games end in a draw due to connection issues. If I were to start another game now, it will do the same. I am forced to close the app and then restart or it will happen again.
Steps:
1. Start Unranked Standard match (using an Orzhov Bats variant)
2. Wait 20 seconds while finding opponent - "Cancel" button disappears around 15 seconds
3. Wait another minute or so on the "Finding opponent" screen.
4. Hear the "game ended" tone while the Me vs. Opponent screen is displayed.
5. Wait until the arena match screen is displayed.
6. Witness "Draw" result and game ends.
7. Click screen to return to home screen
8. Click "Play" again and repeat steps 1-7At game start, it takes over 1 minute to "Find opponent" and the cancel button is gone after 20 seconds so I cannot back out.

Shiku and Narset, Unified second spell
Shiku and Narset, Unified card allows for the second spell cast to be copied with new targets or for player to draw a card. In my game I cast my commander and then Abrade as my second spell, second spell tigger did not come into effect and I was not given the option to target new permanent or draw a card.

Prismatic Ending and Floating Colorless Mana
If you attempt to cast Prismatic Ending with colorless mana floating, the client will use that mana even in full control mode. Outside of a few edge cases, there is no reason to spend colorless mana on Prismatic Ending. This is most relevant in the Timeless format, where Mana Drain is a commonly played card, and Prismatic Ending is relatively likely to be in decks that also contain Mana Drain.

Dealing damage with power of a creature with deathtouch should not kill the attacked creature
Recently I did a game which I encountered what I think that should be a bug. My opponent had a creature 1/1 in game, with deathtouch, and he did a sorcery to give my creature an ammount of damage equal to his creature's power, since mine was a 4/4 it should have stayed alive but it died due to deathtouch "effect". Is this normal? Thanks in advance.

Forced Draw
Summary: I was playing a matched where the opponent had a platinum angel out, after a few rounds I was able to kill the platinum angel along side a another creature and a planeswalker. As the platinum angel died the game forced a draw.
If I didn't know any better I would assume that I wasn't allowed to win this match given my hand draws and how the game played out in general. FIX YOUR GAME This was an obvious win on my part.

Game loss after loosing connection for 5 seconds
You will have to make some changes in when the connection is gone for a few seconds, instead of getting a game loss, give people some time to reconnect. In Magic online you have 5 minutes to reconnect before you will recieve a game loss. I had now more then 3 times that i was winning a game but gettining a game loss for loosing connection for 5 seconds while my internet was doing just fine. And when you are playing events for 2 boosterboxes, getting a gameloss is just a big disadvantage!

Virtue of Courage does not trigger
Virtue of Courage did not trigger in two situations:
When Eriette's tempting apple was sacrified to reduce opponents life by 3,
and when Wicked Role was put to graveyard.In both case I am convinced it cost me the game in my quick draft. This is really frustrating regarding gameplay and gems.

Can't manually assign combat damage
I was playing against a Clavileno. I attacked with a 7/7 (that I really needed to attack with, for trigger reasons) and they blocked with 3 creatures affected by his ability. I wanted to assign all combat damage to one of them, because if they made 3 tokens I would have lost the game. The game REFUSED to let me change the damage assignment, just the order, and when I looked around online in the limited time I had, I couldn't find anything. I again looked around after losing the game only to find like 5 different sources telling to untick "Auto assign combat damage" in settings
Checked settings, its not there. Odd.
Found a picture of the settings screen. Its there. Looked at my settings screen. its not. Apparently they replaced it with hide alternate card styles and now its impossible to assign combat damage differently from defaltI was playing against a Clavileno.

FDN Set Collection Incorrect Totals
In the Set Collection tab, Foundation is showing 60 Rares to collect, and 20 Mythics. There are 129 Rares in MTGA for FDN, and 34 Mythics.
(It may be that you are only including collector numbers up to 271, and not the FDN cards with collector numbers > 442, which are also part of the set.)4 votes -

Instant response to ETB skipped
Instant response to ETB was skipped. Opponent had Kaervek on the field and triggered its ability, casting a copy of Tinybones Joins Up to make me discard. I had 1 card in hand, the new Live or Die instant, and wanted to cast it in response to the ETB and reanimate Valgavoth, but the card was ripped from my hand without giving me the option to respond.
Obvious responses like these shouldn't be locked behind full control, the game automatically allows you to respond to anything on the stack 99% of the time, this shouldn't be one of the exceptions.

Speed Magic mode
The amount of time given to AFK/troll players is too long. In this mode you would have 10 seconds to complete your turn before auto passing to opponent.

Display Issues on Galaxy Fold 4
1/21/25 The new update made the way cards display on my Galaxy Fold device significantly worse. The cards on the board are way to large and will go past the edge of the screen making it hard to see all of the lands or enchantments, the keyword icons are inconsistently sized, the cards in my hand take up too much space. Overall the UI is distractingly worse in the newest update and it is much more difficult to read the board state.
Note: The aspect ratio of the galaxy fold 4 is ~6:5
