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.

I applaud you for giving players the choice between paper-like Standard, and a dynamically-changing Standard with online-only mechanics. Letting players pick was the right decision!
Forcing Historic players into the new dynamic paradigm feels very bad to lovers of the format. I can't speak for everyone, but one of the reasons I love non-rotating formats is their stability; it's very concerning to see you striking at that.
At the very least, please consider giving us Traditional Historic and Alchemy Historic as two separate formats. If this takes the digital-only Jumpstart cards out of traditional Historic, so much the better!

You could start paying to play testers instead of destroying decks we already pay for without giving us anything in exchange. Sorry this in a monetary move only to sell more packs. If old cards are make worse and digital only cards are the rule that can also change in any moment I don’t want to keep playing this game.

I'm an arena only player using historic brawl to playtest my future commander decks. So changing historic(brawl) will make me less likely to spend money on paper and historic wildcards

Playtest your cards before you release them. Leave Historic alone

Not touching historic again if this is this plan comes to fruition. I can never be sure that valuable cards will be nerfed.

I don't mind Alchemy as a separate format, but re-balancing Historic is so incredibly user unfriendly that it really makes me consider dropping Arena entirely. As someone who has invested hundreds of dollars in Arena, what is my incentive to continue if I can't play the decks I want due to arbitrary re-balancing? This is, unfortunately, yet another short-sighted, poorly planned attempt at making players craft even more wild cards. My wallet is finally, permanently closed, Wizards.

digital exclusive format is not an acceptable excuse for your sh*tty card design

WotC, please keep Alchemy rebalances and whatnot within Alchemy and out of Historic. I play Arena because I want to play Magic with the cards I /know/. Not with cards that might change every month. If I wanted that, I'd play any other online CCG. I'd play Runeterra, Hearthstone or even Eternal. But I don't. Because I like the stability of having cards as they are, and I like playing Magic. And now you're trying to be Hearthstone, for some reason. Just don't. Stop for a second.
Your fans like MtG for what it is, not for something it's trying to be and isn't.

All we want from historic arena is to eventually move towards what modern is now. I will spend big bucks if you just do that. But I'm not going to spend anything on this digital only nonsense.

If those changes happen I will uninstall the game, I love mtg and have played for more than 15 years now, I have my Arena account since the closed beta and have convinced multiple of my friends to ditch other tcg's for Arena. I play exclusively historic, as I prefer non rotating formats, a long time ago you promised to implement Pioneer onto the client, but you lied about it, now you plan to terminate the only eternal format available without ant consideration to your player-base. If Alchemy affect historic without any news about pioneer, in the 8th I will log off after completing my dailies, something that I have done everyday for the past two years, to never login again.

Please do not do this to historic. Make it a separate format.

Leave Historic alone. People like to play the cards they purchased all the time and historic is the only format currently that allows that . You are in essence stealing players cards from them.

Excited to try Alchemy, but not at the cost of historic. Historic is my primary format of play and I do not like the idea of nerfs or buffs to cards with respect to the current wild card system.
I’ve spent thousands of dollars of the past couple years on all products MTG (mostly collecting in paper but 95% of my playing is on arena). If I lose interest in the format I enjoy, I will most likely lose interest in the brand in general and stop spending.

Different formats have different power levels. Fixing in one isn’t necessary for the others. Stop trying to take away a non rotating live format. I won’t be spending any more money on this game.

Historic finally allowed me to play an eternal format. I can’t play modern in paper anymore. I love MTGA and loved it even more for Historic. I love Alchemy and I’m excited but not at the cost of Historic.
