The only reason for collecting it is so that that can manipulate the matchmaking and shuffling algorithms

If I see that query come up I assume I played a WotC Bot. ;-)
they are using it to plan the next 9/11

Because Hasbro is the Dollar General self check out of entertainment.

because official company policy is ♥♥♥♥ the player

which is why im glad that arena was the focus of the people fired in wizards for the 1000 layoffs, they all deserve to be kicked to the street and replaced with people who are not complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I remember Arena's old forums. The staff of the game would actually pay attention and make changes based upon the input of the regular players. Now, I'd just a silly binary system of like/dislike. I guess Hasbro has to spend more time and money on keeping their executives' wallets full instead of caring what the players really think.

The official schedule for Arena on its official site has said KTK Quick Draft has been available for at least 2 weeks now.

It still isn't.

Feedback helps them improve the game. The problem isn't that they ask, it's that they don't ask every single time.

I have a theory. I think it isn't about collecting data at all. I think it is a manipulation. If you are salty, you spend a second to click the :( and get some sort of slight satisfaction in saying so. If you click the :) it reinforces your happy feels. If you skip it you have validated your suspicions that they are treating us like mice in a maze. (They probably are.) It is a flimsy theory no doubt as I have no way to prove any of it but it is what makes me smile.

I always make sure to answer no.
In hopes they remove the hand smoother one day.
Update the client a bit more, And add some more features.
Sunset MTG:O which client is older then OSRS at this point.
Maybe then all my match-ups against d!ck-stroke'r control will be worth it.
When decide to keep an opener with 2 lands neither being fethclands and hope to draw 1 or 2 more lands over the course of 6 turns with my deck being slightly over 33% Lands as well as some Mana dorks so in a true RNG 1 out of 3 cards would be land only to not get a single tertiary source while playing all playable cards in my hand over 3 turns and draw cards I am 1 color or mana off from even though their are 24 lands in the deck and at any point between turns 5-6 drawing one would have allowed me to play the game but it was the control players turn to win in their ranked Queue.

we're going off-topic yet 33% lands? i go with 50% so 30 lands in a 60-card build and i recently got to mythic rank for historic mode with that strategy

i suggest more lands however it's best to use special lands especially the ones that can double as a neat spell like hagra broodpit/hagra mauling and emeria's call/emeria's land

on an extremely rare occasion might draw too many lands however i say 50% land is the best way to guarantee those early game land draws

The shuffler is jank, I am also mythic. I have every land. I queue Timeless. I prefer Domain Aggro and Control, Merfolk, Goblins, Mono-Red, Mono-Black. But I can put together anything. For cards if you include play-sets I am missing about 64 Cards, 16 Play-sets to go, Some I already have but their restricted to one or banned obviously but eventually I will finish the set because their won't be anything else left to collect.

I will give you an example playing mono black 24 lands cant find a 3 land over 6 turns.
I cut 4 swamps and add in a 5CMC casting card to encourage the shuffler to allocate a stronger weight to land cards, I proceed to find at least 3 lands each game. How does that make any sense?
