So I was playing Arena on my Android today on the bus home from work. It was my Selesnya deck vs a white lifegain deck. Because of my opponent's [[Soul Warden]] I was hesitant to use my [[Scurry Oak]] with [[Prosperous Innkeeper]] and [[Heliod, Sun-Crowned]], but after getting another Innkeeper and my own Soul Warden which was going to allow me to outpace my opponent's life gain and swing through thanks to [[Shadowspear]], but it was going to take a lot of tapping.

Seeing victory within reach, not being able to pay for all the 1/1 attackers next turn (I forget the name of the card that makes you pay 2 per attacking creature), and not knowing if they had another removal spell, I decided to go for it.

Things were going fairly smoothly for the first few counters/tokens, but because the new tokens show up in an ever increasing line on mobile (not the neat little stack you get on PC) I had to manually scroll through my growing horde of tokens to the front of the line for. each. new. token.

I just barely managed to get my little treant strong enough (while skipping as many tokens as I could) with a couple of seconds to go on my final fuse. I move to combat and while struggling to scroll to the front of the line for the 50th (not even joking) time, my turn ended.

I WAS FURIOUS.

Please WotC, I am begging you, as someone who plays quite a bit on mobile, can we either get the tokens to stack into neat little piles like they do on PC or at least a button that jumps you to the front of the creature line?

Hey, thanks for this report! We agree about this being a problem, and with the DFT Alchemy release we've updated how we handle battlefields on mobile, and they should now be stacking and behaving on mobile a lot more like they do on desktop. I'm very interested to hear if this has solved your particular problem here.
