Achievements should be retroactive
Just came back after a 1yr break. Before that break I played religiously non-stop since the app was released.
wahoo... achievements for all my hard work & dedication to the craft... yay... 🙄 except that its not retroactive. This feels like more of a slap to the face than a reward for loyalty & effort.
Its not like its too complicated for the devs to figure it out. I played ESO on the pc for years then dropped the game for several more years, but when I installed ESO to my Xbox & signed into my old account, I got spammed wirh dozens of retroactively awarded achievents for like 3 minutes straight.
Don't get me wrong. I like the feature, I just think we deserve a bit than a 'hey thanks for playing, now do it all again' situation.

Confirmation prompt needed
I'd like confirmation prompts for assigning artifacts targets of spells much like assigning blockers.
I have VERY large thumbs, and several times I've just wasted equipment being left unassigned, and requiring I pay additional mana to equip something that should have been equipped from my hand for no additional mana cost.
I don't mind losing to a better opponent or to a bad hand, but without a confirmation so that I have a chance to select an option that throwing equipment on the battlefield ISN'T what I intended to do, I end up losing games due to playing on anything smaller than a Tablet.
The option for confirmation could even be in options so people who don't need it can turn it off/on.
It would be a simple fix that could make the game enjoyable.

Couldn’t block after a client crash on iPad
I was playing Sealed Lorwyn and was 6-2, and about to win my 7th game.
The game took a very long time with a slow opponent. Then his deck ran out, so he did one final desperate attack. All I had to do was block and I’d win, but for some reason my client crashed!
I opened the client as fast as I could, but once I was back in I couldn’t drag/select any characters to block.
I tried reopening the client and again it didnt work.My opponent had this elf that when it attacks it has to be blocked if able. So The first thing I did was assign one creature to block that elf. Instantly after I did that, the crash occured. Ever since I logged back in, assigning any blocker became impossible.
I ended up losing the game by running out of time to assign blocks. It felt like the game crashed and couldn’t handle block assigning as soon as that elf attacked… his entire board hit my face and I couldn’t do anything.
Most frustrating experience I ever had playing… this was a guaranteed win in a paid format, so missing out on gems because of a bug is super frustrating.

Draw
An intentional draw button should be an option in ranked matches. Just finished a game with mill while playing temur reclamation and it should have been a draw my 4 nexus of fates where recycling into my library and my opponent was not getting another turn because I could cast nexus on my end step. Would have been nice to offer a draw so neither lost rank instead of playing the same sequence until one of us got too bored to sit through it.

Thoughts on Rebalancing Non-Digital Cards in Historic and a Proposal for Restrictions and Controlled Unbans
Thoughts on Rebalancing Non-Digital Cards in Historic and a Proposal for Restrictions and Controlled Unbans
I’d like to share some constructive feedback regarding the current approach to rebalancing cards in Historic, particularly when it comes to non-digital (printed) cards.
I’ve been playing Historic on MTG Arena since its very beginning, and a big part of my enjoyment comes from constant deckbuilding and testing. I like exploring the full card pool while still aiming for competitive, well-tuned decks. From that perspective, I genuinely believe Historic is a great format — but also one that could be even better with a few structural changes and a more confident use of the tools that a digital-only environment allows.
Rebalancing non-digital cards: a solution that adds friction over time
Digital rebalancing made a lot of sense as an initial experiment, and it still does when applied to Alchemy or fully digital designs. However, over time it has become clear — at least from my experience — that applying rebalances to iconic, non-digital cards creates unnecessary confusion and frustration.
Cards such as:
Agent of Treachery
Orcish Bowmasters
Teferi, Time Raveler
Omnath, Locus of Creation
Alrund’s Epiphany
The One Ring
are just a few examples of printed, highly iconic cards that now exist in modified digital versions within Historic. This fragments player expectations, complicates deck evaluation, and makes the format harder to approach and reason about — especially when moving between formats or discussing card power in general.
I want to stress that these are representative examples, not an exhaustive list. My feedback applies to all non-digital cards that are currently rebalanced in Historic.
Wizards already took a step in this direction
Importantly, this isn’t just theoretical. A few months ago, Wizards already moved away from this philosophy by restoring The Meathook Massacre and Fires of Invention to their original versions and handling them through bans instead of rebalances.
That decision felt like a very positive correction, and to me it strongly suggests that the team already recognizes the long-term issues caused by rebalancing printed cards. My proposal is simply to continue consistently along that same path with the rest of the affected cards.
A cleaner alternative: original versions, bans, and restrictions
Rather than rebalancing non-digital cards, I believe Historic would benefit from a clearer and more coherent approach:
Use original printed versions of non-digital cards.
Ban cards when they are truly unhealthy for the format.
Introduce restrictions (1 copy per deck), similar to Timeless, as an intermediate and very powerful tool.
Restricting a card preserves its identity and excitement while preventing repetitive or broken synergies. It encourages more diverse deckbuilding and avoids the binary “playable vs unplayable” outcome that bans often create.
Personally, I think this restriction model could be valuable not only for Historic, but potentially as an experimental tool in other formats as well.
Encouraging controlled unbans and experimentation
In the same spirit, I’d also like to encourage re-evaluating long-banned cards. Historic has changed dramatically over time, and the card pool now includes many more answers and interaction points than when some bans were originally issued.
Cards such as:
Field of the Dead
Memory Lapse
Uro, Titan of Nature’s Wrath
Veil of Summer
(and others) could potentially be reintroduced under close monitoring, with the understanding that they can be quickly banned again if they prove problematic.
The key point is not that all of these cards must remain legal, but that there should be less fear around testing and adjusting.
Closing thoughts
Historic is uniquely positioned as a digital-only format. That flexibility is one of its greatest strengths. Leaning into experimentation, being willing to make changes — and even to correct them shortly after if needed — would, in my opinion, bring far more benefits than risks.
Some issues are inevitable whenever changes are made, but the long-term gains in clarity, consistency, and player trust seem well worth it.
Thank you for taking the time to read, and for the continued work on MTG Arena and its formats.

Just overall state of the game 2026
Standard is a dumpster fire, it would be insanely fast if not for the absurd number of board wipes floating around, so we have come to a really weird feel, the number of banned cards is nuts so I'd have to imagine there's no real plan here other then just keep printing pushed nonsense, I really feel like there's no one running the ship, or more like it only hasbro pushing sales is the actual design philosophy, I'm so sad the game I've loved for so very long is completely dead and sold out to not even good conmen, rip mtg

Fairy
Every time I come back to the menu from a match or just opening the app, the tutorial fairy will do the “What an adventure! You’re on your way to becoming a great plainswalker. You’ve got a quest. If you complete it, you’ll get a reward. Go here when you’re ready to play again”. It’s been like 3 months of this and I keep hoping to see it patched with every passing update. I am on mobile iOS

Unexpected loss when doing thassa's oracle - tainted pact combo
played Thassa's Oracle in my fourth game of the brawl metagame challenge. In response to the trigger I played Tainted Pact. Since I had 60+ cards remaining in my deck, I let the rope die and it automatically declines every card and sends my deck to zero. Opponent had only red mana and no counterspells in their hand (I checked with duress). Suddenly, in process of declining cards, the game said I lost. I don't know what happened but I surely think I should've won the game.

Absolute Virtue
I had Absolute Virtue in play, it blocked all damage from Purphoros, and several other damage abilities, but then opp killed me by attacking.
I was playing with Najeela, blade blossom in Brawl, had white tree, Sting, barrow dagger, Storm the vault (flipped), Rythm of the wild, and a couple of treasures, Sticky fingers on Commander, and Absolute in play. Opp, made me sacrifice my commander, then attacked with Vito, Bat god, and a Dragon, Activated vitos ability, had Sanguine bond in play. Some how managed to do damage to me and kill me even thouag Absolute Virtue was in play, had all of its abilities, and there were no damage prevention blocks in play.
IS this a bug, or am I misunderstanding how Protection works?I had Absolute Virtue in play, it blocked all damage from Purphoros, and several other damage abilities, but then opp killed me by attacking.

elemento
Hello,
I would like to suggest an improvement to MTG Arena’s interface.When I need to select multiple permanents with the same name, especially if they are stacked on top of each other, it is often unclear which ones I have already selected and which ones I have not.
This frequently causes mistakes, because I may accidentally click the same permanent twice while leaving another one unselected, even though I thought I had already chosen it.
It would be very helpful to add a clear visual indicator for already selected permanents, such as a colored border, glow effect, check mark, or another obvious marker. This would make multi-selection much clearer and more accurate.
