Recently we had the Magic Arena economy stream, which more or less amounted to Wizards saying we shouldn't expect any huge improvements that will make the game meaningfully cheaper, which seems like a pretty big mistake considering how the expense of playing Arena is driving some players away from the game. This got me thinking about other bad decisions that Wizards has made with the client, so today we're going to look at the top 10 ways Wizards messed up Magic Arena. It's worth pointing out that we're not including bugs and other accidents on the list - those are just things that happen in games and presumably Wizards doesn't want them to happen any more than we do - instead these are intentional choices that Wizards made that simply weren't good for the game or its players.
