    Hi I've just had this same problem last night. A friend in the USA (I'm in Africa) was able to log into my account from the US. Nothing I've tried works, and i think I've tried all the recommendations. I'm using windows 10. I'm busy trying to remove any recent software installed since August to see if that helps.

    I have found this after some research:

    I may have located the issue, I am not sure. MTG Arena is downloading data into C:\Program Files\Wizards of the Coast\MTGA\MTGA_Data\Downloads\AssetBundle while the "Waiting for server" circle keeps looping. So at least something is happening.

    There are files streaming in continuously.

    It seems as though the game is waiting for a download to complete, maybe this is some kind of background update? Most of the files appear to be 176KB large as they come in.

    I found this useful link which made me go look at the folder.
    https://www.reddit.com/r/MagicArena/comments/i5446w/waiting_for_the_server_issue_with_connecting/g0mmrmr/

    The AssetBundleFolder is nearly 12Gb large and is increasing. The reddit link suggested just waiting the process out.

    Perhaps this is correct or perhaps something is wrong. I will feedback later again after everything hopefully finishes.

    Ok it is finished. I guess it took about an hour and a half to complete from when it started. Faster internet speeds will help! I think im 10Mbps but maybe only 4Mbps! :(.

    I am back in the game.

    Good luck everyone!
