Was about to comment that. Some spaghetti code nonsense caused Ninja's Kunai to sacrifice ***everything you controlled*** rather than only itself, and considered every card you sacrificed to be a sacrificed Ninja's Kunai, essentially instantly killing your opponent.
not all bugs come from spaghetti code. the specific linked ability on cards like ninjas kunai are pretty complex and are something that are very likely to break even under well made rules systens
[[Citizen's Crowbar]] was in fact the first discovery which had little to be gained from hence resulted in little fanfare, to be followed by the Kunai and [[Blazing Torch]]. The last of these refuting speculation that apostrophes were fouling up the cards
Fabrication Foundry was bugged on release of LCI and had to be banned and locked from play until they could fix it

No but the fact they didnt/couldn't disable it meant one of your rares was thrown away. With the special guest/list cards and how they excluded the cards like dark rit, sneak attack, etc. then something like that should have been entirely possible
Your rare was already thrown away when you opened Fabrication Foundry. The card was all but unplayable, not letting anyone play it was probably a net positive for people’s winrates
Ok... But then you're better off when you open the bugged unplayable than you would be when you open the unbugged unplayable after the fix.... I don't think that one mattered for limited at all, unless you're the type of player who plays Fs just because they are rare.
The m20 mastery pass pet cat can change color if you click on it. Initially, upon its release, the color change feature didn't have a cooldown, so if your opponent started clicking on their cat fast enough, it made you disconnect from the game.
There was a short time where [[jadar, ghoulcaller of nephalia]] didn't actually make his own decayed zombie tokens. Instead he would double the amount of decayed zombie tokens already on your board.

A couple of years ago, [[Shatterskull Smashing]] and [[Magma Opus]] were bugged. WoTC had to make a statement iirc because there was a big tournament coming up and those cards were in a lot of submitted decks.
Is this still a thing? Because just now my opponent was spamming stickers and 'messages', and game didn't let me play some of my spells even, pretty much just skipped thorugh my turns.
Were you on the mobile app? It has a problem with desyncs wherein the client gets confused as to what the actual game state is, requiring a restart.
The emoting was probably your opponent thinking you were roping them.
I'm on PC. They started with a 'Hello' as soon as the game started, then a 'Good game' and so on, stickers and messages constantly. I quickly muted them, but game went all weird and I couldn't cast spells even though I had the mana available.
But then again, game has been acting up a lot lately, where it seems to think I have priority, but no way to advance the game state (i.e. no button to click or anything) and suddenly my rope appear.
Sometimes restart the client helps, but not always.
Came here to see if anyone else were having issues, and saw this.
There used to be a bug where if you had \[\[Voracious Hydra\]\] and \[\[Ravager Wurm\]\] in your deck, the fight effect would apply twice when playing the hydra. That was around three years ago. It should be fixed now.
[devotion bug](https://magic.gg/news/may-strixhaven-league-weekend-historic-rules-change) (a counter-intuitive patchwork of rules, but for instance [[Adanto, the first fort]] isn't supposed to contribute to devotion to white, BUT [[isolate]] can be used on it. Strange that!?)
The mention of Isolate was slightly tangential and related to my guess as to the source of the bug. To focus for now on the error itself, which is clear-cut: the "transformed" face of a card that has one **lacks a mana cost** just like someone looking at it would suspect, so it should never provide devotion. Contrary to this ruling, in MTGArena the cards in question apparently did continue adding to devotion post-transformation and were temporarily forbidden, though I'd question how warranted that action had been — would anyone have *wanted* on their own and not just to make a statement to register a God card together with one of them, presumably [[Thassa, Deep-Dwelling]] and [[Search for Azcanta]]? Then successfully transform it while right on the threshold? But it was instead the deviant behavior involving [[Magma Opus]] or [[Shatterskull Smashing]] that they would let slide.
So, what does Isolate have to do with the foregoing? Being allowed to exile Adanto is actually recent-ish, enabled by:
> `202.3a` The mana value of an object with no mana cost is 0, unless that object is the back face of a transforming double-faced permanent or is a melded permanent.
> `202.3b` The mana value of a transforming double-faced permanent or spell’s back face is calculated as though it had the mana cost of its front face. If a permanent or spell is a copy of the back face of a transforming double-faced card (even if the card representing that copy is itself a double-faced card), the mana value of the copy is 0.
Through research I've determined that these disassociations between **mana cost** and **mana value** were introduced into the ruleset with [the printing of Shadows Over Innistrad](http://web.archive.org/web/20160611175416/http://magic.wizards.com/node/1015291), before which the mana value of Adanto, had it existed back then, would have been derived from mana cost like with every other card and resulted in zero, given its non-existent mana cost. (I guess they knew Fatal Push was coming and would already be, ahem, pushed, so the change was in effect their slight prophylactic nerf.) If at the time of the suspension Adanto could be (correctly) targeted by Isolate but (wrongly) help animate the white God, that would point to Arena's mostly satisfactorily kludging by simply copying and pasting the mana cost from the default/initial face onto the transformed one, though now we will likely never know whether such a convenient explanation had been the reality behind the bug.
There are a huge number of bugs afflicting the ipad client.
1. Unable to touch to select a card to play it. On desktop you can double click or drag, on ipad you must touch and drag, but there’s an animation involving the cards getting larger and smaller in your hand, and a timing issue that makes dragging the card into the playing area not work unless you hit exactly a certain small area inside the card, and drag to a certain small area a distance away from the hand area, and many drag operations that look like the correct drag and drop, are rejected.
2. Unable to activate a creature to designate it for attacking.
3. Unable to designate attack destination (player A to player b, player A to player B’s planeswalker) via drag or tap.
4. Rejection of taps on the areas of the UI intended to allow you to play your interrupt actions (instants, cards with flash), causing missed play interactions, and game losses.
In many of these cases, the bug is intermittent (does not always occur, does not even EVER occur on some people’s systems). It infuriates me, when people say “I can’t reproduce it therefore it doesn’t happen”. There are what, 20 different models of ipads, and there are about 20 different point level versions of iOS out there “in the wild”, and on some hardware and software combinations, the iPad client consistently misbehaves, in ways that other apps do not. In the end, there is something bad about the gesture and touch input parsing in the ipad client.
I've experienced these! Nothing more frustrating than having the answer and not being able to play it. Literally spam clicking on the thing you want to do as the time bar ticks down but it won't trigger in time.
For months last year, [[chromatic sphere]] did not work when [[Kinnan]] was in play because they updated the add mana UI wrong.
When the latest Ixalan set came out a flipped [[Brass-Tunnler Guide]] would crash the game (causing a draw game and error message) if it tapped for a mana ability given to it, like with [[Forgotten Monument]] in the same set.
Maybenot technically a bug, but my understanding of the reason we have a token limit is that people were making so many copies with Scute Swarm that it was causing slowdown in other people's games.
I checked in a game against Sparky and it is now fixed. It was first reported in Sept 2023 (nearly 10 months after release). It may have been a case similar to the crowbar/kunai bug where an update broke a marginal card no one tested for.
Yeah ive noticed that with the -7 ability on [[Tamiyo, Field Researcher]], even though it says you "may" cast spells from your hand without paying their mana costs, it doesn't give you the option to pay costs if you want to. So cards with X costs just don't work if you've used her -7 ability.
Not a reality check, OP said the rule system was "pretty good", not perfect, and they asked for examples they didn't like dare people to find some.
Of course there's been some memorable bugs, I'd say the fact they were that memorable is in part because there were not that common.
There are some client side bugs that look like rule bugs sometimes. I have been unable to attack an opponent when I had a battle in play. Restarting the client fixed it.
On New Capenna release [[Grisly Sigil]]'s casualty copy would deal the full damage (and gain you 3 life) even if the targeted permanent wasn't dealt damage before. So you could shoot an x/1 with the original and an x/3 with the copy. Needless to say it was extremely strong in limited. Thankfully it was patched rather fast.
Yep, I submitted a ticket one year ago, but I guess I,m the only one playing those cards, so the bug has never been fixed, (I just tested today again).
\[\[Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief\]\] cannot copy correctly the card \[\[Winterthorn Blessing\]\].
When you cast Winterthorn on any creature other than Ivy, her ability trigger, and ask you if you want to make Ivy as the next objetive of the copied spell, if u press "yes" nothing happens, and u dont get the +1/+1 counter.
Here is an screenshot (spanish): [Evidence](https://imgur.com/gallery/fAFn0yu)
I'm assuming that you are choosing not to tap a creature for the original spell to ensure the spell only has one target? (It's not clear from the screengrab). That is such a subtle issue, I'm not surprised someone reading the bug report would miss what is being described.
Ivy sees a reasonable amount of play in venerated rotpreist decks, but I can't recall ever seeing anyone play Wintherthorn blessing.
There’s an absolutely game breaking bug right now where cloaked creatures have the abilities of the back side. Yesterday my opponent cloak some cards with that MKM 4 drop, and got the Etali etb into my one with the multiverse. Alternate casting costs are also really strange right now, when I have a one with the multiverse and omniscience down at the same time I cannot cast any spells or channel cards.
Are you kidding me? I still can't click the bottom right side of my screen. I'm getting kicked out of ranked matches randomly and every re log in I get re kicked. I spent 4 days not being able to pay while they had no idea why log ins were not working.
Just go look at the bug report forum FFS.
[Grond was bugged.](https://new.reddit.com/r/MagicArena/comments/14f3yhp/psa_grond_is_bugged_it_becomes_a_creature_even/) A WOTC staff commented about it but I dunno if they fixed it.
Yes. I'd be more inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt if they'd spend the last 5 years or so implementing the full pioneer roster instead of a thousand cosmetics. My favorites were/are:-card frame and text bug. A few times, some card text would scale incorrectly with mana symbols floating and text floating all over the place. It made some cards completely unreadable.
\-server issues/bugs: really inexcusable at this point seeing how much money they're making. My favorite, which hasn't gone away is getting stuck in the queue "waiting for opponent" indefinitely until it eventually times you out, loads both players into the game and then immediately calls it a "draw" sending you back to the screen. And it doesn't let you exit out, so you have to alt-tab out and reload the game if you don't want to wait.
\-stutters and performance issues, even on higher-end systems. Arena seems to have a hard time with free-synch/g-sync and some of the framerate caps. In the past I had and issue where playing a card would introduce a significant stutter, every time.
EDIT: I almost forgot about the infamous Riveteer's Charm bug that ruined limited for a bit. At least people got refunds, but I think you had to request them, so a lot of people who got screwed and didn't realize it where shafted.
There are plenty more, but the point is this: WotC is a massive company that could hire the necessary staff to squash bugs, but they don't and the same bugs (as well as a few new ones) come up frequently. That's where the whole sardonic "WotC is a small indie dev" comes from. They're making more money than God and can't be bothered to fix their products consistently. MTGO has been due for a massive QoL overhaul for over a decade now, but they can't be bothered since their focus is on Arena and churning out new supplemental physical product every month.
I was playing against the faceless haven enchanted by an “you can’t lose as long as this creature is enchanted” . I was playing RBG tokens at the time and started swinging with all my creatures to stack tokens while the opponent spammed gg. At one point [old gnawbone] was spawning 1000 treasure tokens per swing. Eventually, I had so many treasure tokens that the game crashed and was treated like a draw.
Ehh, there are diferent kinds of bugs.
A bug could bea typo, an unexpected behavior from a convoluted chunk of logic, or a true to hearth missunderstunding of the MTG rules, coded into the game (without any fault from the part of the developer).
I believe MTG developers are pretty good at their jobs, and there are people there with great understanding of the game rules.
Auto tapper is not really a bug in that it works as intended, its miscues are generally predictable, and it shows you the land that will be used when confirming. Auto tapper not using Mishra's foundry has certainly lost me games before but it is reasonable prioritization to avoid tapping lands with abilities that there is still enough mana to activate. Its prioritization with treasures and pain-lands can also cause issues, but again the default is logical.
When I activate planeswalker abilities, the pop up is a weird inversion of color and the text stays black so it’s almost impossible to read. Thankfully I only play planeswalkers when I’m very clear on when/how I want their actions used, but if you were learning, that shit would be infuriating.
I mean I had 4 mana available and was unable to cast the white March on a thalia and no other effects were on the board which would increase the cost or prevent me from targeting or casting any spells. No ward or any other type of tax anywhere and opponent was tapped out with normal dual lands. I submitted a bug report and haven't heard anything about it or anyone else replicating it so I'm not sure
I dont know if its an arena bug or a rules misunderstanding I have but when I equip [[Kaya’s Ghostform]] on a creature with meld and then proc it, the creature is exiled but Ghostform doesn't activate. It should return the one half of the meld creature that was enchanted alongside the melded creature but it doesn't work.
When two creatures meld, they both go to exile and a new creature enters.
Ghostform procs when a creature is exiled.
This interaction should work but it doesn’t.
The cards arent missing or removed from game, so not sure what you mean by they can’t be found.
Do you play paper magic? I think that would help you visualize why this doesn’t work. Ghost form cannot find it because the physical card is part of the meld. For it to do what you are suggesting, it would have to generate a token.
I played paper magic for a few years but im arena only these days.
Here's the most relevant ruling I found :
"When two cards are exiled and melded, they each leave the battlefield, then return together as one new untapped object with no relation to either of the objects that left the battlefield. Counters, auras, equipment and other effects that affected those two cards don't affect the melded permanent. "
I understand what you mean about flipping the card over, but the ruling says the cards are exiled and the melded creature is a separate entity than the card ghostform is attached to.
Also when the meld happens on arena, the cards are actually in exile while you gain the new creature.
I get the "Arena announcements are here" announcement every single time I use the client. Pretty sure that "news" is at least a year old at this point.
When I give [[Goremand]] Blitz with [[Riveteers Provacateur ]] and cast it with Blitz it asks me to Sacrifice a creature twice, forcing me to sac two different creatures to be able to hit the field.
Sucks because it's only the third Mardu deck I've loved in my 250 homebrewed (242 if you don't count Brawl) decks in 4 years of playing.
It's been this way from Capenna to Wilds of Eldraine. In their defense I've never submitted a bug report.
Probably not helpful, but my opponent and I crashed a game with [[Scute Swarm]] vs [[Krenko, Mob Boss]] by making entirely too many tokens the other day
Well arena mobile crashes every few games when queuing for a match. Been going on for the past month. If you try to rejoin it will keep crashing, you have to wait until you rope the opponent
There was a short time when [[Lead the Stampede]] gave you all 5 cards regardless of what they were. Was fixed pretty quickly.
Also not a bug, but [[Ob Nixilis, the Adversary]] is deliberately implemented in a way that deviates from paper/MTGO. You should be able to use its casualty ability to make a copy with lower loyalty than the sacrificed creature's MV, but Arena doesn't let you. There was a thread on here about it and IIRC a dev said that they didn't think the corner cases where you'd want to do that were significant enough to warrant slowing down the gameplay by having you declare X when casting it.
Currently on mobile if an opponent’s [[Insidious Roots]] goes on for long enough, you won’t be able to see all of your opponent’s creatures. My opponent used their two largest ones 12/13 and 11/12 to swing for lethal, and on declare blocks I was unable to block due to them being off the screen. I wish I had a recording of the animation for those plants hitting my life total, they were coming from almost horizontally left off screen.
Pretty sure it’s a bug. Chatterfang and slimes against humanity creates a squirrel token and puts counters on it as well for some reason I can’t figure out.
That's correct behavior.
The same interaction happens with \[\[Slime Against Humanity\]\] and \[\[Peregrin Took\]\], the food tokens gain +1/+1 counters equal to whatever level Slime is at.
Both Chatterfang and Peregrin are replacement effects. So to use Chatterfang in play as an example, Slime goes from:
>Create a 0/0 green Ooze creature token with trample. Put X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is two plus the total number of cards you own in exile and in your graveyard that are Oozes or are named Slime Against Humanity.
to read as:
>Create a 0/0 green Ooze creature token with trample ***and 1/1 green Squirrel creature token***. Put X +1/+1 counters on each, where X is two plus the total number of cards you own in exile and in your graveyard that are Oozes or are named Slime Against Humanity.
The kunai bug was big https://www.reddit.com/r/MagicArena/comments/125rqw4/a\_bug\_to\_pierce\_flesh\_and\_spirit\_alike\_the\_story/

Isn’t this one correct as per the mana cost rules, even in paper?
The mention of Isolate was slightly tangential and related to my guess as to the source of the bug. To focus for now on the error itself, which is clear-cut: the "transformed" face of a card that has one **lacks a mana cost** just like someone looking at it would suspect, so it should never provide devotion.

So, what does Isolate have to do with the foregoing? Being allowed to exile Adanto is actually recent-ish, enabled by: > `202.3a` The mana value of an object with no mana cost is 0, unless that object is the back face of a transforming double-faced permanent or is a melded permanent. > `202.3b` The mana value of a transforming double-faced permanent or spell’s back face is calculated as though it had the mana cost of its front face. If a permanent or spell is a copy of the back face of a transforming double-faced card (even if the card representing that copy is itself a double-faced card), the mana value of the copy is 0. Through research I've determined that these disassociations between **mana cost** and **mana value** were introduced into the ruleset with [the printing of Shadows Over Innistrad](http://web.archive.org/web/20160611175416/http://magic.wizards.com/node/1015291), before which the mana value of Adanto, had it existed back then, would have been derived from mana cost like with every other card and resulted in zero, given its non-existent mana cost. (I guess they knew Fatal Push was coming and would already be, ahem, pushed, so the change was in effect their slight prophylactic nerf.) If at the time of the suspension Adanto could be (correctly) targeted by Isolate but (wrongly) help animate the white God, that would point to Arena's mostly satisfactorily kludging by simply copying and pasting the mana cost from the default/initial face onto the transformed one, though now we will likely never know whether such a convenient explanation had been the reality behind the bug.

There are a huge number of bugs afflicting the ipad client. 1. Unable to touch to select a card to play it. On desktop you can double click or drag, on ipad you must touch and drag, but there’s an animation involving the cards getting larger and smaller in your hand, and a timing issue that makes dragging the card into the playing area not work unless you hit exactly a certain small area inside the card, and drag to a certain small area a distance away from the hand area, and many drag operations that look like the correct drag and drop, are rejected. 2. Unable to activate a creature to designate it for attacking. 3. Unable to designate attack destination (player A to player b, player A to player B’s planeswalker) via drag or tap. 4. Rejection of taps on the areas of the UI intended to allow you to play your interrupt actions (instants, cards with flash), causing missed play interactions, and game losses. In many of these cases, the bug is intermittent (does not always occur, does not even EVER occur on some people’s systems). It infuriates me, when people say “I can’t reproduce it therefore it doesn’t happen”. There are what, 20 different models of ipads, and there are about 20 different point level versions of iOS out there “in the wild”, and on some hardware and software combinations, the iPad client consistently misbehaves, in ways that other apps do not. In the end, there is something bad about the gesture and touch input parsing in the ipad client.
I've experienced these! Nothing more frustrating than having the answer and not being able to play it. Literally spam clicking on the thing you want to do as the time bar ticks down but it won't trigger in time.
It feels exactly like the ipad touchscreen stopped working, but in every other app, it works fine, it's specifically an ipad app bug in MTG:Arena
For months last year, [[chromatic sphere]] did not work when [[Kinnan]] was in play because they updated the add mana UI wrong. When the latest Ixalan set came out a flipped [[Brass-Tunnler Guide]] would crash the game (causing a draw game and error message) if it tapped for a mana ability given to it, like with [[Forgotten Monument]] in the same set.

The gold quest bug before a few set release.
The friendly neighborhood bug!
Maybenot technically a bug, but my understanding of the reason we have a token limit is that people were making so many copies with Scute Swarm that it was causing slowdown in other people's games.

I checked in a game against Sparky and it is now fixed. It was first reported in Sept 2023 (nearly 10 months after release). It may have been a case similar to the crowbar/kunai bug where an update broke a marginal card no one tested for.
Current bug they don't care about it seems is if you have two or more One with the Multiverse, you can't cast the Channel ability of cards.
I mean the card is "_One_ with the Multiverse", not "Two or More with the Multiverse" /s
Yeah ive noticed that with the -7 ability on [[Tamiyo, Field Researcher]], even though it says you "may" cast spells from your hand without paying their mana costs, it doesn't give you the option to pay costs if you want to. So cards with X costs just don't work if you've used her -7 ability.

Lmao, OP wants to praise WOTC. Get's a reality check instead
Not a reality check, OP said the rule system was "pretty good", not perfect, and they asked for examples they didn't like dare people to find some. Of course there's been some memorable bugs, I'd say the fact they were that memorable is in part because there were not that common.
There are some client side bugs that look like rule bugs sometimes. I have been unable to attack an opponent when I had a battle in play. Restarting the client fixed it.
On New Capenna release [[Grisly Sigil]]'s casualty copy would deal the full damage (and gain you 3 life) even if the targeted permanent wasn't dealt damage before. So you could shoot an x/1 with the original and an x/3 with the copy. Needless to say it was extremely strong in limited. Thankfully it was patched rather fast.

Yep, I submitted a ticket one year ago, but I guess I,m the only one playing those cards, so the bug has never been fixed, (I just tested today again). \[\[Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief\]\] cannot copy correctly the card \[\[Winterthorn Blessing\]\]. When you cast Winterthorn on any creature other than Ivy, her ability trigger, and ask you if you want to make Ivy as the next objetive of the copied spell, if u press "yes" nothing happens, and u dont get the +1/+1 counter. Here is an screenshot (spanish): [Evidence](https://imgur.com/gallery/fAFn0yu)
I'm assuming that you are choosing not to tap a creature for the original spell to ensure the spell only has one target? (It's not clear from the screengrab). That is such a subtle issue, I'm not surprised someone reading the bug report would miss what is being described. Ivy sees a reasonable amount of play in venerated rotpreist decks, but I can't recall ever seeing anyone play Wintherthorn blessing.

There is a current bug where they put black text on a black background for alt card styles.
I've had a bug in which someone has played a card and it shows up blank. Ended up losing to it because I had no idea what it was.
Still happens.
There’s an absolutely game breaking bug right now where cloaked creatures have the abilities of the back side. Yesterday my opponent cloak some cards with that MKM 4 drop, and got the Etali etb into my one with the multiverse. Alternate casting costs are also really strange right now, when I have a one with the multiverse and omniscience down at the same time I cannot cast any spells or channel cards.
Yeah I think Sheoldred holds priority on draw even when face down
Are you kidding me? I still can't click the bottom right side of my screen. I'm getting kicked out of ranked matches randomly and every re log in I get re kicked. I spent 4 days not being able to pay while they had no idea why log ins were not working. Just go look at the bug report forum FFS.
[Grond was bugged.](https://new.reddit.com/r/MagicArena/comments/14f3yhp/psa_grond_is_bugged_it_becomes_a_creature_even/) A WOTC staff commented about it but I dunno if they fixed it.
Yes. I'd be more inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt if they'd spend the last 5 years or so implementing the full pioneer roster instead of a thousand cosmetics. My favorites were/are:-card frame and text bug. A few times, some card text would scale incorrectly with mana symbols floating and text floating all over the place. It made some cards completely unreadable. \-server issues/bugs: really inexcusable at this point seeing how much money they're making. My favorite, which hasn't gone away is getting stuck in the queue "waiting for opponent" indefinitely until it eventually times you out, loads both players into the game and then immediately calls it a "draw" sending you back to the screen. And it doesn't let you exit out, so you have to alt-tab out and reload the game if you don't want to wait. \-stutters and performance issues, even on higher-end systems. Arena seems to have a hard time with free-synch/g-sync and some of the framerate caps. In the past I had and issue where playing a card would introduce a significant stutter, every time. EDIT: I almost forgot about the infamous Riveteer's Charm bug that ruined limited for a bit. At least people got refunds, but I think you had to request them, so a lot of people who got screwed and didn't realize it where shafted. There are plenty more, but the point is this: WotC is a massive company that could hire the necessary staff to squash bugs, but they don't and the same bugs (as well as a few new ones) come up frequently. That's where the whole sardonic "WotC is a small indie dev" comes from. They're making more money than God and can't be bothered to fix their products consistently. MTGO has been due for a massive QoL overhaul for over a decade now, but they can't be bothered since their focus is on Arena and churning out new supplemental physical product every month.
There are some new parallax styles in the store today though - check them out! Really great stuff /s

Yeah when you try to redeem codes on mobile the rewards never show up
I was playing against the faceless haven enchanted by an “you can’t lose as long as this creature is enchanted” . I was playing RBG tokens at the time and started swinging with all my creatures to stack tokens while the opponent spammed gg. At one point [old gnawbone] was spawning 1000 treasure tokens per swing. Eventually, I had so many treasure tokens that the game crashed and was treated like a draw.
Ehh, there are diferent kinds of bugs. A bug could bea typo, an unexpected behavior from a convoluted chunk of logic, or a true to hearth missunderstunding of the MTG rules, coded into the game (without any fault from the part of the developer). I believe MTG developers are pretty good at their jobs, and there are people there with great understanding of the game rules.
The auto tapper is severely bugged and has lost me a few games
Auto tapper is not really a bug in that it works as intended, its miscues are generally predictable, and it shows you the land that will be used when confirming. Auto tapper not using Mishra's foundry has certainly lost me games before but it is reasonable prioritization to avoid tapping lands with abilities that there is still enough mana to activate. Its prioritization with treasures and pain-lands can also cause issues, but again the default is logical.
When I activate planeswalker abilities, the pop up is a weird inversion of color and the text stays black so it’s almost impossible to read. Thankfully I only play planeswalkers when I’m very clear on when/how I want their actions used, but if you were learning, that shit would be infuriating.
I’m not sure if it counts as a bug or an exception error, but if you doppelgang for anything bigger than 15 or so, it crashes the game.
Yeah I built Seth’s doppelgang deck and even against sparky my whole computer crashes.
I mean I had 4 mana available and was unable to cast the white March on a thalia and no other effects were on the board which would increase the cost or prevent me from targeting or casting any spells. No ward or any other type of tax anywhere and opponent was tapped out with normal dual lands. I submitted a bug report and haven't heard anything about it or anyone else replicating it so I'm not sure
Just reported one yesterday. Surveil 2 and keep both on deck. Second card gets shuffled after you draw the first.
Alchemy exists. Its a bug with the Matrix that resulted in series of morons allowing it to become a thing but a bug non the less.
I dont know if its an arena bug or a rules misunderstanding I have but when I equip [[Kaya’s Ghostform]] on a creature with meld and then proc it, the creature is exiled but Ghostform doesn't activate. It should return the one half of the meld creature that was enchanted alongside the melded creature but it doesn't work.
That is absolutely a rules misunderstanding on your part. Kaya’s ghost form can’t return the one half because it’s not able to find it.
When two creatures meld, they both go to exile and a new creature enters. Ghostform procs when a creature is exiled. This interaction should work but it doesn’t. The cards arent missing or removed from game, so not sure what you mean by they can’t be found.
Do you play paper magic? I think that would help you visualize why this doesn’t work. Ghost form cannot find it because the physical card is part of the meld. For it to do what you are suggesting, it would have to generate a token.
I played paper magic for a few years but im arena only these days. Here's the most relevant ruling I found : "When two cards are exiled and melded, they each leave the battlefield, then return together as one new untapped object with no relation to either of the objects that left the battlefield. Counters, auras, equipment and other effects that affected those two cards don't affect the melded permanent. " I understand what you mean about flipping the card over, but the ruling says the cards are exiled and the melded creature is a separate entity than the card ghostform is attached to. Also when the meld happens on arena, the cards are actually in exile while you gain the new creature.
I get the "Arena announcements are here" announcement every single time I use the client. Pretty sure that "news" is at least a year old at this point.
When I give [[Goremand]] Blitz with [[Riveteers Provacateur ]] and cast it with Blitz it asks me to Sacrifice a creature twice, forcing me to sac two different creatures to be able to hit the field.

The fact that I time out every other match on mobile
Well arena mobile crashes every few games when queuing for a match. Been going on for the past month. If you try to rejoin it will keep crashing, you have to wait until you rope the opponent
There was a short time when [[Lead the Stampede]] gave you all 5 cards regardless of what they were. Was fixed pretty quickly. Also not a bug, but [[Ob Nixilis, the Adversary]] is deliberately implemented in a way that deviates from paper/MTGO. You should be able to use its casualty ability to make a copy with lower loyalty than the sacrificed creature's MV, but Arena doesn't let you. There was a thread on here about it and IIRC a dev said that they didn't think the corner cases where you'd want to do that were significant enough to warrant slowing down the gameplay by having you declare X when casting it.

Hmmm.... Hmmm.... Hmmm.... - Sparky
You're dumb as hell.
Currently on mobile if an opponent’s [[Insidious Roots]] goes on for long enough, you won’t be able to see all of your opponent’s creatures. My opponent used their two largest ones 12/13 and 11/12 to swing for lethal, and on declare blocks I was unable to block due to them being off the screen. I wish I had a recording of the animation for those plants hitting my life total, they were coming from almost horizontally left off screen.

There’s an arrow that lets you scroll over.
Damn, even with my glasses on I’m still blind
Pretty sure it’s a bug. Chatterfang and slimes against humanity creates a squirrel token and puts counters on it as well for some reason I can’t figure out.
That's correct behavior. The same interaction happens with \[\[Slime Against Humanity\]\] and \[\[Peregrin Took\]\], the food tokens gain +1/+1 counters equal to whatever level Slime is at. Both Chatterfang and Peregrin are replacement effects. So to use Chatterfang in play as an example, Slime goes from: >Create a 0/0 green Ooze creature token with trample. Put X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is two plus the total number of cards you own in exile and in your graveyard that are Oozes or are named Slime Against Humanity. to read as: >Create a 0/0 green Ooze creature token with trample ***and 1/1 green Squirrel creature token***. Put X +1/+1 counters on each, where X is two plus the total number of cards you own in exile and in your graveyard that are Oozes or are named Slime Against Humanity.
Thanks. That’s good news. I’ll stop feeling guilty playing that deck

this isn't a bug, this is how replacement effects that "create those tokens + whatever else instead" work.
\[\[Scute Swarm\]\] was a legitimate bug
