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.

Give us Historic back and keep Alchemy in its own queue. You literally implemented it in the most anti-consumer way possible by not giving us wildcards when you nerf our cards. Until it's rolled back I'm done spending time or money on MTGA.

Myself I'm a standard player that barely touches historic so this doesn't affect me, but the idea per se is just f* ridiculous.
Alchemy is not bad. Messing it up with an eternal format like historic is.
People are here to play Magic: The Gathering, they want the real experience, with real cards and real bans. No delusional and digital only cards that don't exist in real life messing with the original content.
Make alchemy a separate mode for gods sake. Standard, Historic, and then Alchemy standard/historic and everyone is happy. Profit.
I'm not even touching the points of needing to spend much more money to open alchemy-only packs to be competitive or not refunding wildcards. People are here for MAGIC, if we wanted this bul* we would be playing hearthstone or other crapy game.

Day 8 of not playing Arena.
Not even gonna look at the new kamigawa set.
It's not that I don't want to, it's the principle of the matter.
WotC has screwed me out of my cards.
The only other way I can get back at them is by ensuring they don't get my money anymore.

I will not play MTGA or spend another dollar on this client until the changes from Alchemy to the Historic format are undone.

No idea why WotC hates us. I'm not touching Historic, let alone Alchemy, until they stop showing contempt for the community by introducing non-draft sets that are 82% Mythic/Rare. Give me a reason. Give me literally ANY reason apart from greed why Ethereal Escort should be Mythic, rather than uncommon. I've been buying gems. No more. Never again. Hope the cash cow was worth it while it lasted.

Alchemy affecting historic and being an overall take for game economy is the reason why I will stop playing and paying on Arena and Physical Magic.
You want people to spend? Give them a good reason too. Magic is not the biggest nor the best card game anymore, you guys can't milk everyone in the community because "hur dur it is magic" get over yourself and adjust to the consumers. There are better, more engaging, more reward, and less wallet demanding games than magic.
Fix your stuff, or most people will simply stop playing (and making your hasbro overlords rich).

Hello!
Since the Beta version of MTG Arena, Historic (From Wizards of the Coast) was talked about and promoted as an ETERNAL Magic format in MTG ARENA in which all Arena cards could be played.
It is a format I liked ... until the conversion with Alchemists ... Historic is now no longer an ETERNAL format, all Arena cards can no longer be played AS YOU PROMISED.
My finances do not allow me to spend a lot of money on a game, however, so far, within my possibilities, I have done so by focusing on an ETERNAL format.
As a Magic player since 1989 and an Arena player since Beta, I feel SCAMMED, it is not a ban or a nerf, it is a lot of wildcards I spent in an ETERNAL format (you can no longer play all the cards published in Arena) which is now no longer ETERNAL.
For this reason, I request that all the wild cards I invested in Historic be reimbursed to my account, logically deleting the crafted cards.
I will decide in which format I decide to use them, of course regardless of how Wizards promotes a format.
Sincerely
Waiting your response
AkronWood

this is garbage my mastery pass is wasting away, not that its worth anything to me if you don't fix this. i'd really like some kind of confirmation sooner than later if there is going to be an eternal format or not, i'll pay 5$ a month subscription to have access to non-alchemy polluted format if money is the deciding factor here

Agreed, why can't these be separated?

Absolutely agree, please WOTC don't jam alchemy into historic. Cards which are fine for historic but are nerfed in Alchemy will have a big detriment to peoples decks and collections. Luminarch Aspirant is a perfect example of this. I also loved that while historic was a digital format, all the cards translate into the real world (with the exception of historic jumpstart, but thats a whole other problem) and this further separates the format from why i, and many others, want to play it. There isnt a paper pioneer scene where i live, and MTGO is not a client i particularly enjoy, so Arena Historic is where i got to try out older decks with new cards, or build new decks when they finally had enough pieces to work.
PLEASE WOTC don't mess with historic like this, at the very least have a queue for Alchemy Historic and for regular HIstoric

As someone who casually plays eternal formats in paper, I find Alchemy to be incredibly confusing and needlessly complicates the game. Am I supposed to keep gatherer open on my phone and reference it mid-match while playing paper magic so that I can look up the paper version of a card so as not to misremember what the paper version of a card does relative to an ever-changing Alchemy version of the card? I'd have no objection to Alchemy being introduced if it were added as a separate format to Historic so that I could opt-in to the format and not lose the only format on MTGA that I regularly play and ejoy.

I'm quitting till we get separated historic. I have no faith any deck I buy will not be nerfed out of existence without any form of compensation.

Please separate Historic from Alchemy and it's inherent shenanigans. The negative impact on Historic has removed my desire to support Arena any further.
