Doesn't a "resolve all" dialog come up for your opponent in this situation?

I concur. I've reduced my "effective playtime" to ~2 hours per week now as the player-base has become so toxic easily 50% of Bo3 matches are tainted due to player misconduct.
That's up from ~33% a few years ago.
There's also now a distinct breed of "Arena-only control decks" that use cards like High Noon https://scryfall.com/card/otj/15/high-noon combined with multiple graveyard castings of sweepers, mass-flickers, and wraths whose sole goal is to delay the game w/o any sort of actual win condition. Combine these cards with roping on every turn and most players just concede. This is very unfun.
If WotC isn't going to take moderation actions for player misconduct, then at least provide the players with the tools to do it themselves.

Atm, there are many of these sorts of combos. https://edhrec.com/combos/bloodthirsty-conqueror
Yes, this is a lame card that should've never been printed.
There's also a bug with Bloodthirsty Conqueror that's macOS-specific.
So, um, yeah. Just don't play with or against people using that card. I promise nobody will be upset when you concede if it enters.

As always, thanks very much Rezzahan for your insights. WotC should pay you for being here. :)

Rezzahan, which rule which declares primacy wrt these sorts of effects?
Just reading what's on the cards would seem to indicate neither condition would overrule the other.

I second this motion.
I also request the ability to have an opponent reported for poor conduct during the match, but only allow this in Bo3s and only a few times per account within a 24 hour period.
The player base has become increasingly toxic with the lack of moderation.

Poison and ("toxic") is/was one of Magic's worst long-standing mechanics along with Offensive Mill.
Thankfully, they're not publishing cards with Cumulative Upkeep anymore.
I hope they'll stop publishing cards with both of these too and, in general, with alternative win conditions.
Designing the game is already hard enough with just the simple goal of reducing your opponent's life total to zero.

The game clock needs to change. A fixed time-out per turn makes no sense given the nature of the way Magic is played.
Most turns go very quickly with a distinct minority taking far longer due to the real or perceived complexity of game-state. As with many other stateful games (e.g. Chess and Go), it ends up being a power-law distribution. Arena's game clock should reflect that.
We need to lower the mulligan-look phases to no more than 10 seconds each.
The initial turn should also only be 10 seconds as it's little more than a land-drop and, perhaps, a single spell.
Subsequent turn time-outs should be longer (20s?) and the time not utilized can be "banked" up to some fixed value (60s?) with its value displayed as a per-second count-down timer.
As has been mentioned many times on this forum, time spent by the engine executing automatic game actions should *not* be counted against any player's time. There are a huge variety of game-states that involve mass token generation and/or multi-shuffles and replacements that can (at present) result in a game win/loss due to a player "time-out" over which neither player can control.

Until WotC actually clamps down on player misconduct, nothing will change.

I now nearly exclusively play R/U aggro or Jeskai control in Standard solely due to Vivi's power.

I don't play Alchemy, but I concur that Vivi should be banned everywhere. It's OP in any format, warping all formats it's in, and should've never been printed.

To answer TheChetShop's question, you enabled player flagging by fellow players an then automatically upload the client and server-side logs for analysis. To avoid spamming, limit players to reporting no more than a few (3?). players in every 24 hour period.
After a few weeks of reporting, the repeated bad-actors can be easily identified and sifted from random networking or client-side bugs.

Yup. It's always been bad, but the roping has gotten noticeably worse in the past 3 weeks--even in Bo3s.

Eh, language is fluid. A "mulligan" is as much of a verb and "mulliganing" is as much of gerund in that it denotes a specific action in MTG as "draw".

Into the Flood Maw can target any non-land permanent: https://scryfall.com/card/blb/52/into-the-flood-maw as long as you promise a Gift so it's working as intended as long as a Tapped Fish is created under the opponents control.

I concur that the new loading image is in poor taste considering arachnophobia is a very real thing and WotC had many, many other possible 'spider motifs' they could've considered to obtain the same subtle Spider-Man marketing tie-in w/o having such a "realistic" looking image.
Then again, I'm offended by the "leather bustier person" https://feedback.wizards.com/forums/918667-mtg-arena-bugs-product-suggestions/suggestions/50439576-please-remove-the-leather-bustier-person-in-the , so what do I know? ;)
This happened 2 more times this evening. This is definitely a new bug and really unfun behavior.
No proper 3 game match and no rewards for a win in even the Bo1 that was supposed to be a Bo3!
