Update might be problematic, so if Arena doesn’t start as expected, make sure to check Wizards Customer Support’s Twitter for more info. They’ll tweet once the maintenance starts, and once it is finished. There you’ll also be able to find out about any possible delays.
You can also check MTG Arena Status Page. Game, Matches and Logins systems all have to be operational before you can run Arena without problems. No downtime is expected, but you’ll have to restart the client to get the Forgotten Realms patch.
