MTG Arena is no longer fun
Every time I try to play this game I literally want to vomit. Everyone who plays this game always has to deal with several annoyances at the same time, players who roping, broken shufflers, brutal decks that win games in third land, decks that don't allow the player to play, either by making them discard or through counterspells.

I've already won countless mythicals, I'm not a bad player, but my victories in this game I'm absolutely sure were at the expense of bitter defeats from other players. I feel like this game is like the card art of SCHEMING SYMMETRY. A dagger in my neck and another dagger in my opponent's neck, whoever manages to "hurt", "irritate" "deceive" the other first wins. Basically, I don't take away the reason why hundreds of players roping as this game is extremely frustrating.

When I stop playing, and after a few weeks I start playing again, everything seems promising, but after a few weeks the game returns to being the same boring as always.
If you try to vent this to the community hoping for some understanding, it's even worse. The MTG arena community is the most toxic community there is, I've been playing this game for years and it's only gotten worse.

The conclusion I reach is that this game turns nice people into extremely toxic people, MTG Arena brings out the worst in people. You may not admit it, but you've definitely gotten salty in this game like any other human being. Furthermore, MTG Arena should come with a warning about the risks of playing and acquiring anxiety.

But perhaps you will ask me: Why go back to playing knowing that the game is a sea of ​​hassles? It's simple. It's not easy to give up the addiction. MTG Arena is one of the most addictive games out there and like any other drug, even though people know it doesn't bring you any benefits, they continue using it.

Maybe Wizards needs to reformulate the rules, or maybe transform the game into a more strategic game and less a game of chance, because if they continue on this path, there will be no future for this game.

Well, when any game stops being fun and starts being mandatory, I think it's time to stop. It's likely that I'll play again in the future, or maybe never again, but I wanted to leave my constructive criticism here.

I didn't hate the MtgA player when I started. But I learned to hate the MtgA man.
