    I've been hating the game for awhile now for many of the same reasons. There is no longer a competitive sense of the game. They just keep coming out with more and more cards that make playing this game miserable. There's no longer any strategy. Blue-dominated decks, combos everywhere... Then there is Arena. Arena is a cesspool. In their quest for greed and profit, all they did was ruin the game.

    Here is something the smoothing defenders rarely consider:

    They will say that it's just the difference between IRL shuffling RNG and in-game shuffling RNG. They will say that it only affects your starting hand, but not your draws.

    The former is true, but the latter is not. In fact, the latter is mathematically impossible. Magic drawing is drawing without replacement. This means that every card you take out of the deck, like ones for the starting hand, are not replaced within the deck. Thusly, the probabilities change for the cards within the deck.

    To me, this is what makes Arena akin to gambling in a casino. They will say that the purpose is to help with player satisfaction, but in all likelihood these slight changes provide a slight advantage to "the house," or Hasbro/Wizards by creating scenarios that would otherwise not happen as often, like mana screwing/flooding.

    Also, you don't actually play with individuals within your draft pool. While this is done to some extent to ensure there is continuous play, it means that you are paired up with combinations of cards from card pools that otherwise wouldn't exist.

    To me, this is strong evidence that Arena is rigged in the favor of Wizards, and with the money spent on playing, it makes it very much like gambling. I believe the should make the game's coding open source so people can see how much rigging actually goes on.

    As we speak, I'm watching yet another Paradox Engine deck play with themself. Fix this nonsense already!
