Product Suggestion Leave Historic Alone
With the new Alchemy format, can we please have it separated from Historic? You are going to be nerfing cards considering the standard environment, please leave them alone for Historic decks.

Historic is in shambles and all is to blame, mostly wizards of the coast for lacking bans and control in historic. Between black 100% destroy decks without creatures or win conditions, blue white lock decks, infinite looping combos, white 50000 life turn 5, and so on it’s pretty easy to see historic is the step child of mtga and it won’t ever have the love it deserves again.

Please, please, please remove Alchemy cards from Historic formats and keep Alchemy content contained to it's own format. All I want from this game is a digital version of the TCG. I've already invested so much time into my card collection when Alchemy was introduced. I just want the option to matchmake in Historic formats without Alchemy.

MAKE ALCHEMY IT's OWN FORMAT. SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE ALCHEMY, I THINK IT RUINS HISTORIC

Product Suggestion remove Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment esk algorithm. Rigged games went horrible for ea. They have lost fifa and are banned in Belgium due to predatory practices towards kids. Hate on real packs all you want but it's fair games which is what you 'pay for' on these online packs at around the same price.

I was very happy to see the Historic format when it came out.
I loved playing with actual printed cards in a digital format.Please remove all Alchemy cards from the historic format!

For the love of all that is sacred, please get Alchemy cards out of Historic or at least make a different que for Historic + Digital Cards and then Pure Historic.
Historic was getting better and better before Alchemy made me log out every time I see a digital monstrosity.
Its also just super annoying having to constantly reread cards that are one way in paper and another online.

Can we still stop nerfing cards so we don't have to reread them? and just skip the stupid alchemy cards. give them their own format

Made a complaint when a card I spent wild cards on for my historic deck got "adjusted" so that's now unplayable. Received a response to post my concerns here because "we care about your feedback" and I see the largest upvoted game change thread is this one.
Two years and no adjustments. Selling lemons by making printed cards unplayable and not refunding their purchases (let alone losing out on the equity spent to support the changed cards).
Pure stubbornness and greed to force a format on your player base and allow it to infect historic when it is largely disliked.

Alchemy cards should be an option on every format, not an obligation.
One of the pillars of magic is to try to leave the minimum number of elements to chance, something incompatible with alchemy.
They are mixing the type of game that people like the most with the type of policy that people like the least, I don't know exactly what they expect from it.

Historic feels like as safe haven much like Modern, it should not be affected by nerfs. If you decide a card is problematic, ban it.

They should separate both! We are literally forced to play alchemy chards.. when people in MTGO have access to all the cards and can brew whatever they like. With us we get conjuring cards from a book of 15 cards hoping we can get a card that's useful. Just separate the two formats...

I don't like alchemy as i want to play decks also available in paper. And i sometimes want to build decks from pro tour finalists and play them in the same environement.
Please take alchemy out of historic. you could make separate alchemy historic and would probably see only a few playing there and much more in historic as it was.
I now switched over playing more explorer, because it's free of alchemy. But i would love to play some historic elves again without running into mirror matches with weird alchemy elves or other ugly alchemy stuff.

They nerfed my Kumano Faces Kakkazan. Now I can't play mono red in Historic because of this ****. Ridiculous.

Historic was by far my preferred format after Alchemy introduction. Then I quitted completely. I play Arena as a way to keep up to speed with the physical game, but the introduction of Alchemy made this impossible
How long until we can play all our cards without Alchemy in a sort of Arena Vintage? How long until Historic goes back to its original intention?

Alchemy really sucks. It seems a grab money move. I ask to you if you re really thinking that in Alchemy cards are balanced... if you think that maybe you have some mind problem. Leave historic alone

I would love to play with the lord of the rings set, but alchemy changes what makes historic unique with how much randomness it creates. I get people who wanna play alchemy but I don’t want to cause it adds so many no skill mechanics like conjure. That’s what brawl is for or alchemy play. Not saying it doesn’t have a place but arena is a good teaching tool for new players and I think what scares new players is few formats to choose from. Not everybody wants to play standard or any format. Like why support a format so few people are interested in when you release a modern set on platform that doesn’t even have it, and the format we could play that in is plagued by cards that go +3 at minimum

Just give us historic adjacent formats. Historic and historic brawl but without digital only "cards" or rebalances.

How is it that I'm seeing mail in arena about "on the subject of ninja's kunai.." etc which had way less votes than this, and yet this is not being addressed.
I know you all see this gathering momentum and yet you 'choose' to ignore it.
Every company thinks they're irreplaceable until they're replaced.
Just saying.
