The interface should notify the user why this crafting is not possible. Presently, the interface contradicts itself.

Yep. I stopped playing Arena due to all the allowed trolling and conduct issues that WotC never took action against.
This is just not a viable system to support the publication and maintenance of _any_ software product--let alone a free-to-play 1vs1 competitive ranked game.

Yes. This is a known issue and there is now an entire cohort of Arena-specific "turn time-out" control decks that setup this scenario as their "win" condition. It's wrong on so many levels.

I reported on Rottenmouth Viper having the wrong casting cost back in 2024. https://feedback.wizards.com/forums/918667-mtg-arena-bugs-product-suggestions/suggestions/48955952-new-rottenmouth-viper-mana-discount-calculation-b
Has this bug re-surfaced or simply never been addressed? I stopped playing with/against this card for this sole reason.

WotC is literally leaving free money on the table by removing full-art basic lands from the store. I've never understood the logic of this policy.

This would violate the notion of a fixed set of cards in a given format.
FWIW, back when I actually played Arena, I had a "personal ban list" of cards I would never play with or against. If any of those cards were played by an opponent, I insta-conceded. That's as best as one can hope to do under the current rules of the game and still not be a troll.

I agree with the policy.
It would be extremely helpful to have SOME sort of information prompt explicitly declaring it for this circumstance as the interface is prima facie contradictory.

I concur on the lack of design competency on display in Standard. I'd say the downfall began with Phyrexia: All Will Be One, reached its nadir with Duskmourn: House of Horror, and we're still trying to recover.
The printing blatantly OP cards like Monstrous Rage, Vivi Ornitier, Kona Rescue Beastie and reprinting of Omniscience and Bloodthirsty Conqueror in Foundations only served to put the nail in the coffin to _any_ notions of non-combo strategy, long-term game-plans, and actual decision-making.
Yes, some of these were banned, but the point is they _never_ should've been printed and re-printed in the first place.
Standard is now merely a gatcha token machine in deck format driven by marketing IP tie-ins in lieu of good game design.
And I'm not even touching on _all_ of the toxic trolling behavior permitted on Arena, Arena-specific opponent "time-out decks", and the litany of long-term-unresolved client, server, card-specific bugs.
No thank you WotC.

The challenge is wrong-heading and impractical in its core concept given the official rules of magic.
Players have the right to concede at any time, but I agree that player conduct has been atrocious for over a year.
I stopped playing Arena solely for the griefing, roping, and trolling behavior that WoTC allows to occur.

Consistent ropers should be banned. Period.

This timer effect needs to be implemented differently. Atm, there are several decks that take explicit advantage of this behavior to "time-out the opponent".
Atm, I've proposed a timer-interrupt when the stack is ~>= 10 interaction-less effects.

While strictly correct, this interaction would seem to be very unaligned with how this card would play-out IRL.
I concur with TopDeckMaster that having the "May" question would be the "correct" implementation and more aligned with the intended design of the card.

I have seen this bug in prior patches, but not for quite some time (over a year?).
Perhaps this is reversion to this old "bugged" behavior.

There are a whole class of "trolling control" decks now that deliberately take advantage of this turn time-out instant-blocking behavior on Arena.
Unfortunately, until WoTC changes aspects of the turn and "apply all" interrupt mechanics, these decks will continue to be "successful".
Thankfully, I believe the coding required is not difficult and merely involves including a deliberate interrupt after N (say 10+) stack additions and altering the "turn time" mechanic when this happens to no longer take place during the stack resolution.
Atm, the only concrete option is to concede and simply "not play" against these decks.

Rezzahan is correct.
That said, "jank towers" that are grossly off-format are, generally, not allowed in FNM tournaments and (most) LGS events (unless it's a "casual chaos night").
I think Arena should have a "strict on-format" variant as it would be trivial to code.
Given the apples vs oranges combinatorics, I just insta-conceded to these decks back when I played.

Well yeah. Kona was on my self-ban list even before Edge of Eternities enabled trivial tapping.
ANY 4-mana card that enables repeatable 0-mana-cost from-hand Battlefield placement for ANY CMC valued card is OP and should not be considered for publication.
Previously, cards that enabled sort of interaction (e.g. Anticausal Vestige, Emergency Powers, Kodama of the East Tree) had both a much higher mana cost and/or a max CMC threshold for the card that could be placed.
I have lost all faith in the current design team.

Rezzahan is correct. Do a few random distribution series and you'll see that even large sequences (1000+) of something as simple as a "coin-flip" have clusters of sequential Heads and Tails.
The important property is there's a convergence to a 50/50 distribution. This is known as the Law of Large Numbers.
