Fix your matchmaking
For a company that has put so much attention into making sure in-person games are fair (what with the whole commander bracket system and whatnot) it’s insane how little effort y’all have put into the matchmaking here. It is abysmal. I mostly play brawl, and I’m consistently matched against vastly higher power decks, toxic players, etc. it is incredibly unfun to play 90% of the time. I have no clue how matchmaking currently works (ie what factors are considered) but the strength of deck people are playing clearly isn’t factored in at all.
It would also be helpful if we could report players for slowplaying or cheating in-game. Console games let us do that kind of thing 2 decades ago, it shouldn’t be hard to do now.

Game stuck in waiting for spell/phase resolution
Playing on android version 2026.57.0.5694.1241037
This has happened to me twice now, in under an hour no less, and this never happened until this update. There seems to be no specific trigger either. The first time it happened I was in a much, just about to win, but instead the game froze/crashed and I was stuck waiting for my equip effect to resolve and attach to the creature that would have won me the match. The second time it happened I was playing with a friend. He's a streamer and I could see the bug only affected me. It was my turn, combat had just finished, but on my side, it never transitioned to my second main phase. I was stuck in post dmg combat phase. The timer eventually popped up, but instead of forcing me to concede, it just disappeared, and I was stuck on this screen (see attachment) until I force closed the app/game. Note that my options button is missing

Unable to Login Authentication failed Timeout
Since this morning I've been having trouble logging into the game, getting an 'unable to login: authentication failed for ' error.
Last night everything was working great! I've tried reinstalling it several times, trying to log in on my phone, checking the files, trying to log in on a different pc and about every random comment that’s seems to work for other people on threads that have had this problem but nothing has worked for me. My computer hasn’t had any windows updates or changes.

Can’t load into Main Menu
I get a black error message prior to loading into the main menu saying my client is out of date, but I have checked the App Store numerous times looking for an update and none show up. I’ve reset my phone, my router, my data plan, and none of it has worked.

Game is freezing often in the middle of matches
After the the newest update on Feb. 24, 2026, the game is freezing in the middle of matches. This is happening in at least 1 out of every 3 matches I play. Lucky for me, I haven't payed for entry to an event or I'd be livid that this happened and gave me a lose. Sadly for Hasbro, this means I have no intention of spending money on entry until this issues is clearly fixed.

Shuffler
Fix the shuffler. I have played paper magic majority of my life. Never have I ever seen hands like I am being given on this game. It is rigged, You can deny it but only true players know. Lets ban together to get this fixed.

Collection Disappeared
The Mirage-version illustrations of "Enlightened Tutor" and "Mystical Tutor" have disappeared from my collection, and my deck is now marked as invalid.
A similar issue previously occurred with "Force of Negation," and "Entomb," but that appears to have been resolved.
Could you please investigate this issue?

When playing in a challenge, the deck image is displayed
auto transration
The UI specifications for direct matches have changed, but when you play in a challenge, your deck image will be displayed.
This is fine if it's just casual play, but it's problematic to have it displayed in competitive events as well.
This is because it shows your key cards and the cards you've put in, giving your opponent some room to guess your deck.
In real card games, the only information your opponent knows is the sleeves and the number of cards in your deck (excluding generals and companions).
Furthermore, the deck image used on the Arena screen should be free to be an auto-selected one, your own partner, or whatever.
Changing this to a completely unrelated card or using a distinctive card to camouflage it is not an appropriate way to enjoy the game.
Players should not be competing over elements other than the actual gameplay.I think the deck image should be changed to include options other than cards, or to more inoffensive, casual information such as sleeves.
直接対戦するUI仕様が変わりましたが、その際チャレンジで対戦するとデッキイメージが表示されてしまいます。
これはカジュアルプレイだけならまだしも、競技イベントでも表示されることは問題があります。
キーカード、投入しているカードが表示されてしまい、ある程度相手にデッキを推測する余地を与えてしまうためです。
現実のカードゲームで、対戦相手に知られる情報はスリーブとデッキ枚数程度です。（ジェネラルやコンパニオンを除いて）
またアリーナの画面上で使うデッキイメージは自動選択だったり、自分のパートナーだったり、自由であるべきです。
これを全く関係ないカードに変えたり、カモフラージュするために特徴的な別のカードにすることは、適切な楽しみ方ではないと考えます。
本来のゲームプレイ以外の要素で争わせるべきではないです。
デッキイメージをカード以外の選択肢に変えるか、スリーブなど当たり障りのないカジュアルな情報に変更すべきだと考えます。auto transration

MTG Arena biggest issues
I would like to report two issues that have seriously damaged the experience of playing MTG Arena to the point of making it, at times, genuinely difficult to enjoy.
The first concerns matchmaking. After a certain number of games, the system seems to start pairing me systematically with opponents whose deck is built to counter exactly my archetype. It can happen once, but when it becomes a constant pattern it is hard not to think that something in the matchmaking system is not working correctly. On top of this, there is another phenomenon that is difficult to explain as mere coincidence: when playing a specific archetype, you keep facing the same opposing archetypes, which almost completely disappear as soon as you switch decks. A concrete example: I often play Wizards in Historic, and the probability of facing opponents with Control or Mono Black Discard decks is disproportionately high for me. If these archetypes dominated the meta, it would be a well-known and documented issue — but that is not the case: public statistics show that their prevalence in the meta is entirely normal. This makes the matchmaking problem hard to dismiss: it is not the meta that is skewed, it is the matchmaking system that presents it to me as such. The result is that you find yourself trapped in a spiral where whatever strategy you choose seems already anticipated by your opponent — which drains all satisfaction and makes it genuinely hard to find a reason to keep playing.
The second issue concerns the shuffler, and manifests in several distinct ways. The first is land distribution: it is very common to draw a disproportionate number of lands in the first twenty cards — even ten, in a deck that contains only twenty lands. The probability of this happening by pure chance is extremely low, yet it occurs with a regularity that cannot be ignored. Connected to this is an equally recurring phenomenon that is hard to attribute to randomness: when you draw too many lands in one game, in the next game you will systematically draw too few, as if the system were trying to compensate and maintain a balance between sessions. If the shuffler were truly random, the outcome of one game should have no bearing whatsoever on card distribution in the next — and yet it consistently seems to. The third issue is subtler but equally frustrating: there appears to be a correlation between the matchup and the cards drawn. In games that are already unfavorable due to the pairing, you tend to systematically draw the least useful cards for that specific situation, as if the shuffler and the matchmaking were influencing each other. Here too, the frequency with which this occurs goes well beyond what one would expect from randomness.
The cumulative effect of all this on the player experience is severe. The frustration generated by these systems has, in my view, contributed directly to a significant deterioration of the social environment within the game. Toxic behavior has become increasingly common: opponents spamming emotes for no reason, players disconnecting mid-game out of frustration, a general atmosphere of hostility that was far less prevalent in the past. These are not unrelated problems — they are symptoms of a community pushed to its limits by systems that consistently feel unfair and beyond the player's control. When the game feels rigged, people stop behaving like good sports.
It is worth pointing out that these phenomena are not just my subjective perception: anyone who follows the content of streamers and creators who play Arena can observe them regularly in their games. These are therefore visible and documentable issues, not isolated frustrations.
I want to be clear on one point: I am not questioning the good faith of those who work on the game. What I am asking is that these issues be acknowledged and addressed with the seriousness and urgency they deserve. MTG Arena has the potential to be a great game — but right now, these problems are getting in the way of that, and the community is feeling it.I would like to report two issues that have seriously damaged the experience of playing MTG Arena to the point of making it, at times, genuinely difficult to enjoy.

Various deck builder bugs
Whenever I open a deck I was currently running mystical tutor or enlightened tutor, They get removed for being illegal. I then re-add the cards and apply styles to the old versions instead of the Avatar versions which makes them disappear but does not reduce the deck count.
I also have the bug still with double Commander slots even though I'm not running partners which gets in the way. I have to remove the commander in order to re-add him just to clear up space. Either remove the second empty slot which takes up an entire column or move it below the initial Commander so it's not taking up an entire column. Same thing with companions.Whenever I open a deck I was currently running mystical tutor or enlightened tutor, They get removed for being illegal.

Game freezes on Android during matches
Since the last update game freezes during matches in different moments. It's impossible to continue, the opponent is still able to send messages. This happens only on the mobile android version of the game but it sucks as *. Lost plenty of matches and rank because of this *.

Timeless withnout alchemy
Remove alchemy from Timeless make it on par with paper, there is no reason to infest both Historic and Timeless with alchemy cards. Every time i see Hydroponic Architect or Zoneguard iam littlebit closer to uisntalling MTGA and quit MTG forever.
I never talked to somone who enjoys alchemy cards in Timeless, we want Legacy not some hogofogo virtual format that doesnt exist!
