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.

Please don't change historic. At my current stage of life, Arena is the only way available to me to play Magic, and Historic is my favorite format. I've already stopped playing Modern due to rising costs and forced rotations due to new prints. Please don't make the same mistake with Historic. Let it evolve naturally.

Keep Alchemy cards OUT of Historic. Only allow them in direct challenges. Keep Historic as is with only existing and Standard-rotated cards. No digital-only cards either!

Why can't there just be historic and historic alchemy? Please don't replace good cards with nerfed ones in the format we love so much!
Bring in the new cards though! I'll pay whatever for faster changing metas. But a card that's OP in standard is not always OP in historic...

Do Not Change Historic, PLEASE, we need an eternal format you have left us waiting for years and still haven't released pioneer. You even claimed historic was meant to be an eternal format.
" Historic will be specific to MTG Arena, and we intended for it to be a fun and casual way you can continue to play with all the cards in your collection. "
If a card is changed fundamentally or nerfed into unviability I can effectively no longer play my cards. This is a direct violation of the expectations you set with your prior statements.
If historic just becomes another standard I will be leaving mtga and never purchasing a single thing from either WoTc or Hasbro entertainment EVER AGAIN, I stand by this commitment.
AS DO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE PEOPLE UPVOTING THESE THREADS.

LEAVE HISTORIC ALONE. ALCHEMY ISN'T THE ANSWER FOR STANDARD AND IT WILL ONLY HURT HISTORIC.

No longer spending money on gems if historic is going to be a format that changes every month.

Please leave Historic Brawl and Historic alone. Please do not make Historic formats pay for the sins of Standard.

I like the idea of Alchemy, but I don’t see why Historic needs to be affected, especially without a true eternal format on Arena. It adds nothing to the format and makes it worse.

Please leave Alchemy and Historic separate. Let Alchemy be a wild playground for using old cards in news ways, and let Historic be the place we can keep using our same collection. Requiring rebalanced cards in Historic in effect takes away cards we already have.

Please keep Alchemy and Historic separate. If you guys need more money, invest in D&D.

Please leave alone some version of historic, so you have one eternal format (that is, where the cards you obtain remain playable as-is).

I absolutely do not want to ever track that Omnath does X in paper magic, but does Y on arena. I find that to be a nightmare scenario.
And if you come back after a few months off and just want to jump into some historic brawl, but you haven't tracked which of the dozens of cards are changed - well, it slows the game down because even though I know what a Questing Beast does --- was it changed? Maybe. Now you have to re-read everything because you might not know what is different.

Changing paper cards is a real bad idea. -

Leave Historic out of this or at the very least, make another separate format for it.

Please leave the historic format alone. I don't see myself continuing to play Magic Arena if this change goes through.

Echoing everyone here. Please let historic be what it has become: my favorite way to play eternal magic in MTGA. Don't mess with it like this please.
