Game keeps hanging at "waiting for opponent" - unplayable

I keep running into this issue every time I play Forge. The game hangs on "waiting for opponent" after a seemingly random play. It could just be passing the turn, advancing to the next phase, etc. The game is not frozen and no crash report. I play mostly Quest Mode and drafts. I've tried restarting the game and my PC multiple times. Now I can't even finish one game without it happening so it's basically unplayable. I've even updated my Forge version without any luck. Only way out is to close Forge and restart.
Lately I've been drafting old school 93-94 and playing against AI. I cannot seem to figure out if any particular card or interaction causes it. Opponent could play a mountain and pass turn and it'd hang. We could have a board full of permanents and it's running fine, but then boom, stuck for no reason.
Even happens when watching AI vs AI play their game during the Quest tournaments.
What does is mean when it just gets stuck like this? A memory issue? Is it other programs on my PC?
I've attached an image of my latest board state. The last play I did was cast Serendib Efreet and pass turn. Opponent doesn't attack and enters M2 and it hangs. I know there's a lot on this board, but it was running fast. I've encountered this issue on Turn 3 with just a few permanents out. Not sure what's up.
I'm running Forge 1.6.15-r-1u on Windows 10 PC.
