Get Rid of Hand/Mana Smoothing
Apparently this is an algorithm within the game to “help prevent any unplayable non games”. I feel like it creates them. Majority of my hands in brawl, I never get 3 land hands, and constantly have to mulligan to 5. 34-42 lands in my decks. A lot of my decks average low cmc cards. But I’ll always end up getting the same high value mana cards, every game. Most of my decks have less than 10 of those. I play the exact same decks I play on arena, in real life, never have these issues. Please get rid of this part of the algorithm.

MTG does it again
I am a veteran physical magic player since before the first ravnica block. This game being free and accessible is fantastic, I’ve bought one pack and have received 99% of the cards through playing. I have a few decks that are competitive in the platnium rankings Two weeks into playing the game again. I originally downloaded this back when it first came out, let me tell you the game has gotten WAY better

Not A Game
If you want to play competitive games against fun decks you won't do it here. You may not notice for a few months or even a year if you try to build good five color decks why don't I ever see other decks like that? Because this app only has people playing reward decks for quick wins you will never play a strategy game with another person on this app unless you meet someone in real life who actually plays this game and match up direct. The queue is full of stupid mono colored rush decks designed to win in the first few turns. I have a deck like this. I win on turn 1 2 or 3 with the winning draw. If I don't, I quit and move on, to just get my rewards. I am never playing. And 99% of the players are only playin those decks on this app. You will have to play for an entire day straight before you see someone who actually has a deck to play with you with.

Peak game
Peak game it has multiple types of ways to play and has so many collabs like ATLA, hobbit and so many more
Always a MASSIVE update
Every time I go to use this app there’s a multi-GB update. I spend more time downloading updates than playing.
What's the point.
Super pay to play and baaad glitchy. Why can't a beginner play against other beginners to get the hang of the game instead of being set against people who have extremely customized decks that either played a long time or paid a lot of money for.
5.53 GB required - Can not open
The app won’t open, saying it needs 5.53 GB to store its data. Wow that’s a lot for card images. Anyway I have like 100 GB free. Maybe my iCloud doesn’t have space? I don’t know it won’t say. It just won’t open. Maybe just download and cache the assets as needed?
fallout
Bring fallout packs to arena.
Great at start, pay to win later
Game starts great, and for the first month or so is engaging. You can spend real money but not required. But then you get to a point where it’s impossible to win without significantly spending money as all other players are massively overpowered. Avoid the frustration.
Buggy app will cause in app purchase failures without compensation from publisher
App crashes during pack openings that result in bugs and loss of digital products will not be fixed by customer support. You will be treated as lying despite logged evidence they openly share. Would give zero stars if I could.
Platform is toxic as well, where if you aren't playing lightning pace people will just leave mid-match and move on because most people only care about ranking and not actually playing. Play paper MtG instead and support a local game store instead.

This app sucks not a representative of the actual magic game
I’ve been playing and trying this app for several years, given the benefit of the doubt, but you either get too much mana or no mana I’ve tried every combination and today is the day I’m deleting the app. Tired of trying. To figure this stupid app out yet again not a true representative of the magic car game. Just another app for people to make money off of thank you.

People can delay matches
People can literally use 4 3 minute time outs to delay the game and can extend the timeouts by barely taking actions just to be toxic and they are not changing it to make it any better you can report but what good does it do 7/10 matches are this way it’s absolutely frustrating and until they fix it don’t play it or invest money in it.

Fixed rng
Have slowed meta decks again in favor of newer cards and decks. Trying to sell cards to show what’s new is better but these cards and decks do no place in any tournament. Furthest from real magic it has been in years
Not a game, real life.
I know the sudden impulse becomes the summons you drew.
Not fun. Tell everyone not to play.
Waste of time. Please delete this app.
Should be so much better…
Sigh… I’ve played Magic since 1994. This Arena client is just not good. There are lots of problems with modern Magic that are compounded with Arena—the presence of the Alchemy cards are just the tip of the iceberg (there are too many cards that interact in unfun ways—let’s add more!!)
But the game also just isn’t stable. I get the dreaded “Waiting for Server” spinning arrow at literally the worst times. Costs me tons of games; it’s even worse when you’ve spent gold or gems only to auto lose when the server decides to fail.
Even the concept of Arena is half-baked; “we’re gonna do Hearthstone but with Magic. And all of our boards and backgrounds will have almost none of the interactivity that Hearthstone boards have. The animations won’t be as good; but at least we’ve taken the collectability (you don’t really own your cards) aspect out of the game and replaced it with a system where you either pour money into the game to field a competitive deck, or you just lose 60% of the time.” And
As a free-to-play app, it’s okay. Not great at all, but not terrible. Until you get a few weeks in. Then it’s almost unplayable. As a Magic app, it’s subpar in its best moments.
You are better off playing paper Magic with your friends than investing any money into this.

Yet another low effort cash grab from wizards of the coast
Bought a starter deck pack that came with a code for the decks in this game, after not having played since 2021 I installed this and downloaded all the various assets. Logged into my acc, and I need to update some info. Ok. Error go to website to update. Whatever I’ll register a new acc. Error invalid email domain. Whut? Finally resolve all this on my computer, then log in. Complete redundant tutorial I can’t skip. Receive all my old rewards from yester-year of 2021. Open packs, contacting store page infinitely. Restart app, infinite loading screen. Restart all WiFi/cellular. Infinite loading screen. Restart whole phone. Infinite loading screen. Actually unplayable. The fix? Uninstall and reinstall this app I’ve had on my phone less than 20 minutes? Nah. Imma just uninstall and leave a review.

Love this game!!!!
It’s free and it’s awesome!!!
No help
I’ve been signed out after spending mad money on this game. Password I always used stopped working after an update. Password reset portal is always down. No help from customer service other than an out of date AI. Great game but the app is unreliable.
Waste of time unless you pay
Whales win every hand first draw three cards with a tapped attacker being wild.
Hackers are a big issue as well but holy goat the matching is busted for the Color challenge. Not Fixed!
