Are MTG Arena draws random?

In a typical game of Magic, you draw a random hand of seven cards from the top of your deck; this may be the oldest rule in Magic. Arena works the same way as MTGO, with a random number generator creating a random hand for you.

Does MTG Arena have an algorithm?

Why We Need an Algorithm BO1 on Arena is the most accessible constructed format for new players for many reasons, but this is mostly due to the nature of sideboard cards requiring additional Wildcards to operate optimally, and the need for BO3 decks to be less linear.

Why do I keep getting mana flooded?

Mana flood can be the result of an opening hand with too many lands, several consecutive land draws, or a combination of the two.

How does MTG Arena decide who goes first?

At the start of a game, the players determine which one of them will choose who takes the first turn. In a match of several games, the loser of the previous game chooses who takes the first turn. If the previous game was a draw, the player who made the choice in that game makes the choice in this game.
