friends!

Let me just start by saying, I’m not sure if this is the right method of contact for my inquiry but after hunting for a contact method for a long time, this is what I stumbled upon. I wanna say thank you for all the hard work you folks do and the amazing products you create. I love magic with all my heart and I’ve made so many friends because of it. That’s actually what my inquiry is about.

Mtg duels. The old client of MTGA, had a 2HG mode and it was amazingggg!! I loved it. Me and my friend played it nonstop. There’s a huge demand for 2HG. I just got 4 new friends into magic! That’s right! 4! And they all play MTGA with me now! But it breaks my heart that there’s no 2HG mode. It becomes very mundane fighting your new friends. Fighting along side them would be endless hours of fun. I would drop money on cards that would be good for decks in 2HG. The community at large wants this and I want it with my whole heart. It is hands down my favorite format and the coolest thing ever. The demand and financial support is there; people would definitely play, I know my friend group would! I’ve been on forums and Facebook pages looking at whay the community is saying and they all agree! Please let me know what more we can do to convince you folks to implement it. Or what the timeline of it’s creation would be. You folks are amazing and I know if anyone can do it, you guys can!!

Thank you so much.
Love Hope.

I "Liked" the matches I won, when you asked me. But in general, I'm not satisfied with Draft games. Especially - how my opponents are chosen.

I'm building pretty powerful decks (attaching examples of turns 3 and 4).
But most of the time I'm ending Draft 0-3. And the most I could get is 3-3 1 time and 2-3 couple times after spending 20K gems.

Maybe I'm just stupid or unlucky. But statistically out of 10 games I should be able to win at least 1 time 4-3 or more. Or maybe, just maybe something is broken here.

For some reason, I'm always put against some crazy Diamond or Mythic #40. Which would be fine. But they always have 2 or 3 great Rares in hand on turn 2 or 3, which countering me, and lands to enable them.

So, no - I'm not happy with matches and I'm not spending any other penny for this game. And to make sure in this - I'm uninstalling Arena now.

Thanks for the game.
post idea.....

I'm sure I'm just another in a long list requesting you tweak your match making program.

I use a third party stat tracker and it's clear as day that your match making leans towards mirrors or at least shared colors/card choices. I have half a dozen decks, play over 30 matches on all of them and the stats don't lie. Mono green will most often be paired against mono green or gruul. Dimir control paired against dimir or esper. It's the same meta. At the time, tournament websites showed gruul aggro as 25% of the meta, yet when playing dimir, they were at the bottom of my played against decks, yet mono green, they were at the top which makes sense, but much higher especially if you consider gruul of the family of green based aggro decks which were well over half my matches with mono green.

I just hope you are trying to change things. I'd like ranked pairings to be based solely on your rank and not deck contents. Just a true rng roll. Casual, I could care less because I can just concede if playing the mirror bugs me that much.

All of my friends have noticed this flawed pairing system, just not everyone has the stats to confirm their suspicions.

So often I run into games where it becomes clear that my opponent is more than likely going to lose and then they suddenly stop playing. It is uncertain if they have lost connection, or if they walked away just to be a jerk. But you are left with no other option than to sit there over multiple timeouts and play waits until you win by timeout. At which time it is clear that they walked away to be a jerk.

It would be nice to at least have a button to use to report abuse that would attach the game log.

Even if nothing ever happens with it, it would ease the annoyance and frustration.

As stated in the title. When there are multiple events active, some of them get pushed off the featured list on the front page. I had an active Kaladesh draft going (was at 6-1 I think) but kind of forgot about it because of the Cube and FNM stuff going on and was surprised to see that KLD had ended. There should be a more visible reminder that events you are participating in are about to end. This didn't 'hurt' me too much this time because I had already played out most of that draft, but I can imagine there would be some people who had just drafted a deck and didn't get to play it out to at least try to recoup their entry.

I love to play limited on MTG Arena. I even made the top 1200 mythic in October, which qualified me for a standard qualifier weekend..

However, I miss that there are no serious tournaments for limited players. I would love to qualify for one of those for getting in the top 1200 limited queue. Or to participate in a limited Arena open event.

Also I have the feeling that there are a lot of people interested in limited if I watch the twitch channels. Even more so if there would be more premier limited tournaments play.

I think there is a huge opportunity here for MTG Arena to create more content for limited players.

I am excited to see that cube draft is back on Arena, but I do feel that you guys may be missing an opportunity to make the game more enjoyable to your target audience. Keeping the draft format phantom is perfectly fine, but it would be nice to see the entry fee to be lowered. I understand you do not want to make the draft a way for people to “farm gold,” but you can lowerinf the buy-in to $500 would be nice. Then you can adjust the prize payout as followed: 750, 650, 500, 400, 300, 200, 100, and 0. Players would have the opportunity to enjoy the drafting format, but it would not provide them with an advantage over other players as their only payout is gold. You could maybe throw in a random common/uncommon at 6 wins and a random rare/mythic at 7 wins to add a little bit more, but this type of prize payout would not allow for rapid collection building. Setting up a rotation of the cube draft would be a cool idea as well. A different theme every couple of weeks to a month could help break up the monotony of the game. I just wanted to at least provide some feedback as this could help bring a new twist to the game.
