    Here are a couple of times I remembered to screenshot the hijinks.

    Please, please, implement a way to opt out of the hand-smoothing and matchmaking algorithms. I've been tracking my games and I lose way more to the shuffler than to my own mistakes/opponents. I get hands that start with two mana and then no mana til turn six while you are drawing all the most expensive cards in your deck, or hands that start with 3 and boy those other 4 better be good because you have 5-6 lands on the top of your deck to fight whatever your opponent gets. It's like you want to remove needing to understand math and probability out of the game and make sure it's dumbed down enough for everyone. Problem is, that fundamentally changes the game for the worse (doesn't even feel like real Magic, more like a competitor knock-off) and makes veteran players who in some cases (like myself) have almost 30 years of experience building decks, supporting YOUR game and money-maker want to walk away from this platform. I'd rather go back to playing on busted third party unofficial platforms that at least offer random matches and random shuffling as opposed to your "curated to remove the need for intelligence" style of matchmaking and shuffling. At this point, it is OBVIOUS to everyone that this is a terrible system. Please, if you're so fond of the algorithm, at least allow players to opt out of it so you guys can still milk the people who can't add or cipher probabilities for themselves while still letting those of us who can do math to enjoy the game as we do in paper. You don't get to hand select or get paired with people based on what you and they are playing, again this is not native to Magic the Gathering and fundamentally changes the game for the worse. Please, don't kill this game to make a buck. They've already done that with the environment and people's minds, not Magic too, please!!

    I can't agree more with Mystic Squid (previous comment), I've been tracking my games and I lose way more to the shuffler than to my own mistakes/opponent.
