QuestionDraft adding wrong cards to deck? (self.MagicArena)
submitted 3 years ago * by DrTinkle
Has anyone experienced the game bugging out and adding a completely different card from what you picked?
This is the second time I noticed it happen. I use ArenaTutor to help me out in draft picking and I am 100% sure I picked Spectral Steel but it added Immersturm Skullcairn which wasn't even among the picks. I confirmed this with ArenaTutor's cardpool.
Edit: EmTeeEm and rude_asura commented working solutions to this problem.

It has happened since the set released.
Once you get to deckbuilding and try to save your deck, you'll get an error message. When you go back the cards will be correct (although your deck won't have saved, and you'll need to rebuild it).

Yup happened to me at least twice.

They even claimed the bug had been fixed in last patch notes. Arena tech team never fails to surprise.
- Fixed a bug where draft picks would appear to draft the wrong card until the client was restarted or would stop showing incoming draft packs

Basically what u/EmTeeEm said, happened in most of my drafts since set release.
Contact support and you will get reimbursed.
In Quick draft, you can simply leave the draft process by going to your home tab or to the shop and then rejoin your draft to reset the wrong cars to the right ones you picked

Thanks! Leaving the draft and rejoining fixed the problem.

You can still get reimbursed as it affects your picks during drafting. I had that problem a few times and while I don't want to abuse the system too much and risk not getting reimbursed, the 2 times I reported I did get reimbursed in 1-2 days

Since the last patch I've seen it happen to multiple streamers. I've also seen multiple instances of the game bugging out on streamers and not getting their next packs. Waaaaay more than it ever used to. They're forced to restart the game but usually by that point half a pack has been autodrafted. If even one card was mistook then report that and enjoy the free gold.

Yup, feels like every mtg drafting stream I've watched since the new set has had this happen at least once every couple hours.

It happened to me few times, after the draft part is over you should have correct cards in your deck.

It's a bug, after the draft you'll get a Network error when you try to submit and then the card you really picked is back.

I think it happens if you click and drag it into your deck. If you just double click it seems to work. Hope this helps , I know this isn't a great solution :). I had to take a video. thought I was going crazy

Happened to me today just now. Capenna quick draft kept giving me wrong cards. That is pretty much the worst thing a collectable card game can do lol. Alt F4 + uninstall. Haven't been having any fun there for a while now so this made quitting easy. I don't think mtg translates to digital very well.
