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'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.

I will be uninstalling MTG Arena until Alchemy is no longer affecting the historic format. I am a regular purchaser of the $50 pre-order pack bundles as well as the set mastery pass plus various other gem reloads during sets for drafts/sealed. Arena/WOTC will not see a cent of my money(admittedly not that much compared to Whales or content creators) until they revert this asinine, greedy change.

Keep this fix-standard scheme out of Historic please

I don't know if anyone will read this, but please don't consider historic a 'live format'. Its main purpose in the first place that people were asking for was to have an eternal format in MTG Arena and this move absolutely renders this moot. How can you have an eternal format if it its cards suddenly are different from what they were printed as, or follow different mechanics from other play modes? Where is the overlap between people who enjoy Historic and people who would like to try out a new format in Alchemy?
I probably have thousands of hours playing the various Historic modes, it is my favourite format on Arena and the closest thing we have to any of the eternal paper formats. If the only flavour of paper Magic we can play on Arena going forward is Standard, I think you will lose a lot of players coming from or primarily playing paper Magic. I certainly don't know if I'll stick around if this happens as planned.
Please reconsider.

Please give us a place to play with old standard cards and quit making Historic no longer "historic". Adding random cards, creating digital-only cards, and now altering existing cards in a "historic" format makes me completely disinterested in the format and MTGA in general. Having the risk of my deck being changed on a whim makes me want to never invest in any deck whatsoever.

I will stop playing the game until the decision had been reverted.

Please leave historic alone. Rebalancing cards for standard but having the changes carry over to Historic doesn't make any sense.
