Ban exquisite blood
Why hasen't this card been banned? This card in combination with a card that has 'whenever you gain life opponent loses that much life' creates an infinite loop that stops when your life total is zero. Infinite loops shouldn't be part of this game that is just lame.

Matchmaking sucks! I am tired of constant mirror matches
Matchmaking in Arena is unbalanced and unfair and most of all unfun. Constant mirror matches suck! Constantly playing against the same decks regardless of opponent sucks! please do true natural random matchmaking. skill based and deck strength matchmaking sucks and isn't fun.

The game uses too much battery on mobile
I'm really enjoying the game, but it overheats my phone after 2-3 games and it just munches through my battery. Are there any plans to release a low graphics mode? I don't really need or want all the fancy effects. Just a basic 2D design that let's me play magic on my phone would be great.

"did you have fun in the match" dialog should always be available
You should always be able to access the "did you have fun in the match" dialog if you want to report that a particular match was fun or unfun. The periodic polling is nice and should probably continue but it doesn't capture all instances of unfun matches nor does it give people a chance to recognize which matches were good. I wouldn't explicitly prompt people most of the time but there should be a button you can push to report a match either way.

Allow permanent land art purchase
I appreciate land art can be occasionally unlocked through the store or by playing certain games like Quick draft, but ideally I'd like to have the facility to spend coins/gems to unlock any land art I wanted, any time I wanted.
I'm not asking for this for free, it's just under the current system purchasing land art is periodic and at best only a small selections of lands are available.
It would be great if we could purchase land art sets anytime or craft individual basic land cards.
Thanks

Stuck in game because opponent won't accept starting draw or mulligan
I am at the moment unable to either concede or leave my match without either logging out or closing the game client all together because my opponent won't accept their starting hand or mulligan and passing to me.
Their timer ran out and I assumed the game would auto forfeit or cancel but I have been stuck here for 10 minutes.
I appreciate I can close the game or log out but that isn't the point.13 votes -
Sparky needs upgrade, difficulty levels, and more
I play Sparky to get a feel for my decks, but the vs-AI mode could be a fun, more challenging aspect to Arena. There is really a lot of untapped potential here. Here are some thoughts.
- Give Sparky more recent cards. Maybe from the recent beginner decks. The cards feel underpowered and dated. It just isn’t challenging playing with the most recent cards against Sparky’s older sets. I have noticed that the programming only allows it to play cards that have direct interactions (for example, Pacifism on one of my creatures). It is not programmed to play cards with activated…

Historic Brawl Forever
Historic Brawl is so much more fun than regular Brawl. The larger selection of cards makes it feel more like commander! It's a great way to use older cards other than just playing Historic matches.

Scute Swarm creates unbalanced game.
Scute Swarm should be considered overpowered as it unbalances the game. I don't like the idea of banning cards but if ever there was a card to ban.. The screen shot below went from a fun balanced game to absolutely ridiculous in just 2 moves. This happens quite frequently when dealing with this particular card. If you lack removal for one or two turns it's game over. At least with a card like Book of Exalted Deeds you have a series of specific actions to take to make use of a whammy card. Scute Swarm does not nearly so much.…

Alrund's Epiphany disable/shorten animation
With how frequently the card is played, I find the animation for Alrund's Epiphany a bit much. A loud sharp noise is played with a sudden "explosion" enveloping the screen, which can be compounded if the spell is doubled. This distracts from the game and at least to me, makes the game more unpleasant. (Disabling the SFX fixes only fixes the sound, and also disables a lot of the "simpler" sound effects that help with the feel of the game.)
More broadly, I'd like it if I could disable card animations entirely, but modifying Epiphany would be greatly appreciated.

Sportsmanship and leaving a losing game by timing out
Once it is apparent that a game is hopeless for one player, most players are civil and either concede, or quickly play through their turns to bring the game to an end.
But, I've experienced enough players that just walk away from their computer and let the game finish by timing out, that I've taken the time to write this note.
It is an awful game play experience watching the opponent's timer count down for 3+ minutes. Particularly when it is obvious they are not looking at how they could win (checking card text, looking the graveyards, etc.) and are…

brawl ranked
Can we add a ranked version for brawl and historic brawl? I prefer this game mode and it makes me sad to see it's the only official mode that does not get a ranked version.

WHY do you CHEAT your PLAYERS
It’s been officially addressed that opening hands are manipulated.
This is cheating by any standard.
It’s been officially addressed that matchmaking is manipulated by deck content.
This is cheating by any standard.
WHY do you CHEAT your PLAYERS?
The wonderful game of Magic: The Gathering has been turned into this obnoxious exercise in manipulated, cheating corporate greed called Magic: The Gathering Arena.
It is not Magic: The Gathering.
I am done with it.

Product Suggestion
Please please please STOP with the pairing algorhythms and the obvious cheating that Arena does. Just give us random pairings by rank - thats it - no further manipulations. Let us draw cards randomly as you can with a computer and let actual skill determine who wins and not your obvious manipulations. What you are doing is reprehensible to a competitive player. The game is good if you would just stop the behind the scenes manipulation of what is happening.

Bugs get buried under general player gripes due to bugs & feedback being handled as a popularity contest
Gameplay bugs/issues need to be recorded independently from general feedback for application improvement. In the first place, voting for what to work on is ridiculous - you're not children; manage your own workflows and don't just outsource it to your player base.
Secondly, by storing these together gameplay bugs are forced to compete against UI improvements, which is nonsense. You're a mature, out-of-beta application. Fix your bugs! "I was issued a game loss due to a bug" shouldn't be competing (and losing by thousands of votes) against "something something shuffler algorithm." These are two totally separate concerns and the former…

Why server status (on page statuspage) is ok, when they don't work?
Why do you need a server status page if it doesn't reflect the real state?

2v2
Hi!
I would really love to get more of my friends playing with me online. I am sure that adding a 2v2 mode would be a lot of fun and a good way to get my friends playing. Right now if you wanna play with friends you play a couple of games and then you get bored. But playing with each other would be a lot more fun and I'm sure would make me pull some all-nighters :D.
Hoping I can get some balls rolling this way :)
Cheers!

Copying Electrolyze
PC version
Strixhaven Premiere Draft.
I cast Lead by Example
I cast Electrolyze
there is a 2/3, 2/1 and a 2/2 on the board. I split the first copy 1 and 1 on the 2/3 and 2/1. My plan was to deal 2 more to the 2/3 with the second electrolyze, but it would not allow me to only submit one target. Instead, I had to select two and split 1 and 1 again. This made it so only one creature died and I lost the game.18 votes -
too many players timing out of games
Too many players are abandoning games by annoyingly letting the timer run all the way down. I firmly suggest a system whereby a player gets three strikes: one strike per game abandonment by timeout. At three strikes, the player is suspended for 2 days, etc. At three suspensions, the player is suspended for a week. Something like that. There needs to be consequences for this, especially because some of it is malicious, but really all of it is a massive waste of time and it will cause player turnover (aka, fewer players around to participate, access products in the store,…

Authentication Failed for "User name" bug
When trying to open the game in my PC, I keep getting an error message saying that "Authentication failed for 'username'" instead of logging in to the game.
Regardeless of what I've tried (reinstalling, updating, updating through Epic Games), I can't solve this issue.
I've seen A LOT OF USERS have been affected by this issue, but still there is no answer or workaround.7 votes
