Connection/ In Game Issues

All connection issues are the responsibility of the players to work out. Everyone is responsible for their internet/computer to be in working condition! Any in-game issues, that need attention, must be brought to a staff member in a timely manner. All players should be aware of MTG Arena bugs/issues.

**All decisions will be final when made by Staff and Tournament Organizers. **

All players need to use "Historic Tournament Challenge" when challenging your opponent.

Players are not allowed to intentionally draw.

Challenge Issues

Common issues arise when challenging other players, some of these are as follows:

1. Cannot connect to opponent

2. Rules/Settings not the same as your opponents

3. Cannot find username due to error or unrecognizable lettering

Please take the necessary steps to speak to your opponent before contacting a staff member. Adding each other on Friends List, restarting Arena, restarting router, and making sure all challenge details are the same as your opponents are all common fixes.

Proof

In certain cases you may need to provide proof of winning/cheating in a game (This includes exploiting bugs within the game). We suggest taking screenshots of Victories or in-game issues for proof if needed, (I.E. if your opponent plays a card they shouldn't, etc.)

All pictures or videos presented will be taken into consideration when making a decision.
