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 was advertised as Arena's version of an eternal format, and is the only reason I play (and spend $) on the game. To turn the metagame on it's head with nonsense digital only cards wastes all the $ I've spent, and time I've spent drafting to build my collection *specifically* to be able to build historic decks. Alchemy and digital only cards are an interesting idea, but to completely divorce the experience of playing Arena from playing paper magic or MTGO is an egregious betrayal.

There are good ideas and there are bad ideas, and this change is a bad idea. Alchemy on its face seems fine: we're in a digital space, let the designers design for it and let the players play it *in their own, separated queue*.
But to change *already printed cards that exist in paper* due to balance issues is not where we should be headed. And on top of that, leaving these ruined cards without changing them back for the more-powerful eternal format? Mindless.
A card is a problem? Ban it (or "suspend" it, whatever that means). Magic isn't Hearthstone or Runeterra.

Please don’t force alchemy into the historic community, especially brawl where most of the problem cards are legal anyway!

Historic Brawl is the only thing that keeps me actually using Arena. Please don't mess it up with this nonsense. Leave Historic formats alone.

Is this a joke WotC? Changing the terms of how cards work after three years of purchases seems like a good way to get your product sued out of existence.

I want to see Historic get closer to Modern/Pioneer, not farther. Same for Historic Brawl and Commander. Please keep digital-only cards out of Historic and Historic Brawl. We do not want Magic: The Hearthstoning.

I have a historic brawl channel with daily uploads and create new decks on a daily basis as well. I playtest them before putting them up, so I do hundreds of historic brawl matches each month. Now you are telling me that my lists become more and more outdated by nerfs and buffs that are not even aimed at the format in the slightest.

Instead of rebalancing cards invest more on testing before. No one asked for this instead u give us while we all are asking to improve client, spectator mode and other improvements making arena less comfortable to play.

Not only do I want historic left alone I am absolutely against a living format that is not reflected in paper play. Keep Arena a copy of paper Magic. This is an absolute travesty and cheapens every aspect of the investment of generations of players.

Haven’t seen something this divisive since the “double wildcard” debacle when historic was introduced. Play test your cards more thoroughly rather than shoehorning errata and forcing changed cards on the community. No one asked for this, and it’s clear the vast majority do not want it.

Historic is the best constructed format on the platform. It was already disappointing to introduce digital only cards into it and remove the potential paper play. Please let it exist as is.

Historic is my only format I like to play, not draft, not standard, not brawl, historic. Please don't radically change historic, even if there's historic and alchemy historic would be fine.

I personally think Alchemy sounds kinda fun and interesting.
But I don't follow the logic of tying it to Historic. It doesn't make sense. What's broken in standard is only playable in historic at best. And what's somewhat good in standard is usually outright unplayable in historic.
Nerfing moderately good standard cards means effectively banning them in historic.
And, if WotC is still gonna go this path, then at the very least please pay out wildcards when cards get nerfed.

Arena MUST have a true eternal format.
I would prefer it to be synced to a paper format (Pioneer) but until then, historic MUST NOT be tied to this rebalancing.

Changes like this make me want to play less. Feel really pessimistic that you don’t listen to your users

Please separate Historic into "paper" and "digital" only formats.
