1. Permanent Casual / Experimental Play Space to MTG Arena

   Summary

   MTG Arena currently lacks a permanent space that structurally encourages experimentation and casual deckbuilding. While competitive formats work well, players who enjoy brewing non-meta decks have no reliable place to find like-minded opponents.

   The Problem

   In both Standard and Historic — ranked and unranked — matches often feel extremely narrow. Most games are against the same highly optimized decks. This is not necessarily a balance issue; it’s a structural issue.

   There is no dedicated space that encourages experimentation. Players who enjoy brewing archetypes from recent sets, slower synergy-based decks, or “let’s do the thing because it’s fun” strategies struggle to find opponents with similar intentions. Even the unranked queue frequently mirrors the competitive metagame.

   As a result:

   • Many set-specific archetypes never become viable in 60-card play.

   • New releases feel less exciting outside of Draft.

   • Creative deckbuilders feel pushed toward meta decks or away from the format entirely.

   What Could Help

   Here are a few potential directions (not demands, just ideas):

   1) Optional Deck Labels for Unranked Play

   Allow players to tag decks as “Casual” or “Experimental” in unranked queues and match accordingly.

   2) Community-Based Play Spaces

   introducing communities within Arena. For example, I could join a “Casual Players” community with agreed-upon rules. Or someone could create a “Format-X” community with specific deckbuilding restrictions — for example, 60-card decks with a maximum number of mythics and rares, giving commons and uncommons more room to shine and making deckbuilding less expensive. There could be a Pauper community, other experimental formats, and so on.

   Players could join communities and respond to open match requests — similar to direct challenges, but community-wide.

   3) Bringing back a form of the old “Block Format.” Block would mean playing only with cards from a specific set. This could improve the viability of certain strategies and archetypes from new releases.

   Summary

   MTG Arena currently lacks a permanent space that structurally encourages experimentation and casual deckbuilding. While competitive formats work well, players who enjoy brewing non-meta decks have no reliable place to find like-minded opponents.

2. Airbending a spell cast by opponent through Outrageous Robbery

   Airbend rules say the Owner of the spell or permanent may later cast it again. This does not work correctly when an opponent casts a spell obtained through Outrageous Robbery.

   My opponent cast Outrageous Robbery.
   My opponent cast my Roiling Dragonstorm.
   I cast Aang, Swift Savior in response, airbending the Roiling Dragonstorm on the stack

   Expected Result: since the card started in my deck and I am it's owner, I should be able to cast it from exile for 2 generic mana.

   Actual Result: the airbended spell is castable by my opponent only.

   Platform:PC

3. Rigged Matchmaking Concerns

   Dear MTG Arena Team,

   I’d like to report serious concerns about gameplay integrity that many players experience consistently. These issues go beyond natural variance and suggest deliberate design choices that lead to frustration rather than fair play.

   1. Unplayable Opening Hands: Even with properly built decks (e.g. 24 lands), hands with 0–1 or 6–7 lands are far too common. The hand smoother appears ineffective or manipulated.

   2. Frequent Mana Flood/**: Long streaks of flooding or mana ** happen too often to be random. In a physical game, such streaks are rare, yet here they feel algorithmically enforced.

   3. Counter-Matchmaking: Many players report consistently being paired against decks that hard-counter theirs. It feels like the system scans your deck and selects a punishing matchup rather than pairing randomly or by rank.

   4. Artificial Win/Loss Streaks: Climbing is often followed by long forced losing streaks. This emotional rollercoaster feels designed to frustrate and retain players through manipulation.

   5. Suspicious Card Clumping: Drawing multiple copies of singleton cards or never seeing win conditions is suspiciously common. Shuffling doesn't feel truly random.

   6. Digital vs. Physical Results: Identical decks perform very differently in Arena vs. paper. This implies algorithmic interference not present in real-life Magic.

   ---

   Suggestion:
   Please allow players to opt out of hand smoothing and clarify how matchmaking and shuffling truly work. Transparency is essential for trust. MTG Arena is a great platform, but perceived manipulation is eroding player confidence.

   Thank you for your time and consideration.

   Sincerely,
   A concerned and experienced player

4. Fade from History swept everything?

   Someone just cast fade from history, which somehow destroyed not only my artifact, but my Reezug, AND then bear I was supposed to get from the fade. It also destroyed my opponent's weight of the reliquary.

7. terror of the peaks auto targets self

   Terror of the Peaks auto target is self, meaning if you have too many terror stacks and run out of time arena auto selects yourself for any remaining stacks. Game example I had 81 terror of the peark stacks due to mirror march, and even with just mass clicking the opponent so each stack would apply to the opponent as soon as possible, arena timed out of 3 ropes and over 40+ stacks, then applied to myself.

   perhaps a feature to select x targets for the same card effect going on the stack

9. Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage still deals damage through Nine Lives

   Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage (unlike some other cards, like Bandit's Talent) deals damage on trigger, so Nine Lives should prevent the damage. However, as currently programmed, it does not.

10. Leyline of Resonance causing Android client to crash

    When I have Leyline of Resonance on the battle field occasionally the copies of a spell will not enter the stack causing my client to freeze. I cannot cast any spells and toggling the view of the stack stops working (I can tap the button but the cards shown don't move). If I restart the client, I can get back into the game and continue play.

    I have not been able to replicate it consistently or get a good log file (because my client closes to get back into the game). I did try to repair the game files and it didn't help.

    I have noticed, that the issue tends to happen when the stack gets large (4 or 5 spells) often happening when I have multiple Leylines in play and then cast a card in response to a removal spell while other spells are already on the stack, but it's not consistent. The issue happens most consistently when there are multiple leylines in play and you cast a spell that draws a card (i.e. Ancestral Anger or Expedite).

    Step by Step:
    1. Create a game on Android where there are multiple Leylines of Resonance on the battlefield
    2. Cast an Ancestral Anger on any of your creatures (game may crash here)
    3. If the game doesn't crash when those spells resolve, then start another stack with another spell and have an opponent respond with a removal spell
    4. Cast another targeted spell in response (game should freeze)

I cannot cast any spells and toggling the view of the stack stops working (I can tap the button but the cards shown don't move).

12. Tannuk and Warp and spell copies

    I had Tannuk out and cast Stormscale Scion with storm count at 3.

    Three copies of Scion were made.
    
    The four Scions resolved and during my end step four Warp exile triggers happened which is incorrect.

    Only one Warp trigger should have occurred.
    The 3 copies don't have Warp per CR707.2 because Warp is given to the original spell as a layer 6 effect and therefore isn't copiable.

    707.2. When copying an object, the copy acquires the copiable values of the original object's characteristics and, for an object on the stack, choices made when casting or activating it (mode, targets, the value of X, whether it was kicked, how it will affect multiple targets, and so on). The copiable values are the values derived from the text printed on the object (that text being name, mana cost, color indicator, card type, subtype, supertype, rules text, power, toughness, and/or loyalty), as modified by other copy effects, by its face-down status, and by "as . . . enters" and "as . . . is turned face up" abilities that set power and toughness (and may also set additional characteristics). Other effects (including type-changing and text-changing effects), status, counters, and stickers are not copied.

    While it is true that the copies do track the fact that the Warp alternative cost was paid for the original, they don't have the Warp ability for it to be meaningful.

    608.3g. If the object that's resolving has a static ability that functions on the stack and creates a delayed triggered ability, that delayed triggered ability is created as that permanent is put onto the battlefield in any of the steps above.

    The copies don't have the static ability that the original has so no delayed triggers are made for them.

    Please add missing Silumgar-themed cards to complete Pioneer/Explorer

    Dear MTG Arena Development Team,

    I am writing to request the addition of key cards to MTG Arena to better support the Explorer and Pioneer formats.

    While the recent "Tarkir Dragonstorm" release was exciting, I was disappointed that the Silumgar-themed spells and the Dragon itself were not fully included. As a big fan of the Silumgar brood and the Tarkir lore, I strongly wish to play a dedicated Dimir Dragon Control deck in Pioneer/Explorer.

    Specifically, I am requesting the implementation of:

    Silumgar, the Drifting Death (A core finisher for the deck)

    Silumgar's Scorn (The most crucial counterspell for Dragon-based shells)

    Foul-Tongue Invocation (Essential removal and lifegain for the archetype)

    Adding these would satisfy long-time Tarkir fans and increase deck diversity in the current meta. Please bring the true power of the Dragonlords to the digital battlefield!

    Thank you for your hard work and for considering this request.

14. Blockers Not Displaying Correctly (Screenshot Attached)

    Hello MTG Arena Support Team,

    I am reporting a combat display issue I encountered during a match.

    When my creatures were blocked, the game did not visually display which opposing creatures were assigned as blockers. There were no clear combat lines or indicators showing which creature was blocking which attacker. As a result, I had to guess based on board positioning and intuition, which significantly impacted gameplay clarity and decision-making.

    This appears to be a visual/UI issue rather than a rules issue, but it directly affects combat transparency and competitive integrity. I have attached a screenshot demonstrating the problem.

    Reproduction Steps (as observed):

    Enter a match and proceed to the combat phase.

    Declare attackers.

    Opponent assigns blockers.

    The UI does not display which creatures are blocking which attackers (missing or incorrect combat indicators even when hovered over).

    Combat damage proceeds despite the unclear visual state.

    Please let me know if you need logs, match ID, platform details, or any additional information.

    Best regards,
    Ali

16. white stripe on the top of display

    After some Bo3 matches, this one bar appears at the top of the display and it won't go away until I restart the game. This is been happening for years and years and years and years and years and years. I see several, several, several, several posts about it.............................................................and nothing. You make sure to kick out a set every 3 weeks though huh? Not enough money in fixing your game, I guess.......................................................................................................... I'm not uploading a photo, because the 1,000,000 other reports on this matter include one. Thanks!

17. Distorted view after server reload mid game

    As an Android player I have experienced sudden reloads of the server that after being done bring me back to the ongoing game, only to find it functional but in a distorted view. It's not so bad as the many recent freezes since the last update, but still very disrupting in the middle of a game nonetheless.

18. exiting game

    I got disconnected from a match in quick draft and was unable to reconnect resulting in a loss. This can't keep happening, it makes playing the game really frustasting, it was already a tough game and I had a chance to win it but because of the error I got a loss. I hope to get some kind of compensation because I already struggle to get the resources to play drafts

    相手のターン、相手の唱えた呪文に対し、サカの俳句を唱えようとしたところ、選択することができず、相手の呪文に対応することができませんでした。
    対応の程、宜しくお願い致します。
