1. 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.

2. Bug Report – “Sigarda’s Summons” not consistently applying to Earthbent non-creatures

   Hi,
   I’d like to report a bug involving Sigarda’s Summons.

   It seems that the card does not consistently work with non-creature permanents that have been turned into creatures via Earthbend. The behavior is very inconsistent:

   Sometimes the Earthbent non-creatures become 4/4 Angels with flying, as they should.

   Sometimes they only gain flying, but do not become 4/4.

   And sometimes they gain no benefits at all from Sigarda’s Summons.

   I’ve tested this across multiple matches and the results appear random. It looks like Sigarda’s Summons doesn’t always recognize Earthbent non-creatures as valid targets for the replacement effect.

   Could this interaction be reviewed?
   Thanks!

3. Bug Test of talents

   When the opponents cast the card "Test of talents" as a response to my card that would discard two of his cards, then he countered my spell and found three aother spells of the same sort. But then I was supposed to get to draw three cards. But nothing happened. I didn't get to draw three cards.

4. Munitions not requesting target... turn stops and times out... gamebreaking

   When I sacrifice a munition, the game hangs, the turn does not progress (since last update). Usually you can sacrifice a munition (made from weapons manufacturing) and choose a target for damage 2. Does not ask for target, turn stops times out, game over for me.

7. Casting Lazotep Reaver while Bloodline Pretender is on the battlefield as a Zombie prevents Amass Zombies 1 from resolving

   Reproduction steps:

   1. Cast Bloodline Pretender as a Zombie
   2. Cast Lazotep Reaver
   3. Observe that Bloodline pretender gets +1/+1 from casting a Zombie
   4. Observe that Lazotep Reaver's "When this creature enters, Amass Zombies 1" does not resolve.

   Expected result:

   Casting Lazotep Reaver with Bloodline Pretender on the Battlefield as a Zombie should result in:

   1. Bloodline pretender receiving a +1/+1 counter.
   2. Amass Zombies 1 resolving.

9. Action freeze

   All gameplay freezes after hitting with an attack. Music and emotes are still available, but conceding does nothing to stop this. This has happened 3 times in 24 hours and it makes me hesitant to enter events for fear of losing games to this.

10. Powered Cube Draft Freezing

    I spent a draft token to enter the Power Cube Draft and played a few turns. I tried to sacrifice a food token and I thought it was my opponents turn to cast an instant and the timing rope appeared. I thought it was my opponent taking time to disrupt my life gain but it froze. I exited out of the app and when I came back in it registered my game as a loss. I thought no problem I'll just start another match and then it happened again. This time i cast a sorcery and in response my opponent sacrificed a map token and it displayed but never executed. The rope appeared and ticked down three times. I exited the application and once again it registered as a loss eventhough the freezing occurred on my opponents turn.

    I know the new set is getting ready to launch and sometimes Arena is buggy, but usually I'm playing one off matches and it doesn't matter. With this being an event and it took time to draft is there a way to get reimbursed for the draft token?

11. mana doesn't add up

    i didn't notice this until i conceded and examined all cards in exile and graveyard, but kavaeros, mind bitten has a casting cost of 6 black, cast on turn 3, standard format, no cards that add mana, no enchantments on the field, and look at the turn 5 land on his board....when the spell was cast its mana cost said 2 colorless 1 black... I believe this was accomplished using Cheat Engine app. as i have seen similar things in other games displayed on youtube. or some similar app.

    no complaints here. just pointing out that there is a clear exploit of some sort happening

12. Feedback option

    Whenever a person concedes, give them an option to describe why they conceded. It could have some standard choices like "I was about to lose anyway" or "opponent was too slow", etc. I would like an option for Brawl that lets me say "I quit because the opponent was using Alchemy/cards banned in paper multiplayer EDH" . You could also add a text box where a person could say something like "I hate Mythweaver Poq" or "Primeval Titan is annoying"

    With time this could give you some feedback on what players enjoy/don't enjoy about the platform and your choices of format styles and card availability.

14. Tam, Mindful First-Year + Leyline of the Guildpact = My hexproof doesn't work?!

    Tam, Mindful First-Year gives creatures I control hexproof from each of its colours.
    Leyline of the Guildpact gives all my non-land permanents all colours.

    And yet with both of them in play and a large board ready to run my opponent over two of my large creatures were targeted and killed by 'Battle Menu' even though their card on their battlefield LITERALLY said 'Hexproof from White'.

    This has to be a bug. There is no way this is working as intended.

17. Please change concession rules so that players may only concede at sorcery speed.

    Please change concession rules so that players may only concede at sorcery speed. If you will not, please remove the daily challenge "Attack with 30 creatures".

    Being that bad manners and un-sportsman-like behavior seems overwhelmingly to be the most popular way to play this game on Arena, these behaviors need to be moderated and limited in the back end. Because bad manners, un-sportsman-like behavior, griefing and bullying is frowned upon in this venue, is it not? Sometimes I have cause to wonder.

    9 out of 10 times I build a board that is able to attack without losing the game, the opponent concedes at instant speed in response. This causes a situation where the "Attack with 30 creatures" challenge becomes un-fun at best and a huge waste of time at worst.

    While attempting to maintain a positive attitude regarding Wizards intentions when making the game, I ask you to fix this problem, because you want to make a game that is fun, right? This situation is not fun and changing the situation will only negatively result in bad mannered poor sportsman being inconvenienced, while the positive effect will be giving your "Attack with 30 creatures" challenge viability.

    You may counter my argument with the point that instant speed concession is necessary so players do not have to sit through the machinations of an infinite combo. I would ask you to limit the game actions in infinite combos, much the way you have with the token generation limit.

    Thanks!

19. Please have a way to see mid-game which player went first, and what turn number it is.

    Hi hi!

    I'm currently playing with Surgical Metamorph in historic (costs 1 less if you're going second), but there are a few other cards like this - Lonely End (person going second gians 3 life when it resolves), Desert Cenote (comes in untapped if you're going second), Unnatural Summons (costs 1 less if you're going second), stuff like that. Even outside of Alchemy, we have stuff like Starting Town - in theory, it's not too hard to remember "is this one of the first three turns" - but the reality is that with ramp and missed land drops, it can actually lead to mistakes that you can't recover from (ie. in a live game, you could ask the opponent what the turn number is - if they tell you 1 to 3, and you drop Starting Town then they go "oh no, it's actually 4", I'm pretty sure even at competitive events you'd be allowed to take it back based on their miscommunication).

    In the case of the "costs less" cards, sure, they tell you who the starting player was if you hover over them - the issue is that some of these cards are tutorable. I sometimes have the option of grabbing Metamorph via Enlightened Tutor - and not being able to tell if it costs 3 or 4 can be game-changing if that was my best tutor option at 3 mana but not viable at 4.

    Sure, we can track it ourselves - but really, couldn't we just have something in game? Like a little info tab we can pop out that says the turn number and who the starting player was?

20. Incorrect Artist Name - Bug

    Sorry, I didn't put this in the "bug" category, but I noticed that the basic islands cards from the original Lorwyn have the names of the artists incorrectly listed.
    Island 288/301 Martina Pilcerova (in arena Rob Alexander)
    Island 289/301 Rob Alexander (in arena Martina Pilcerova)
    I compare with real cards. Sorry if I`m wrong:-)
