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.

Leave historic alone. I didnt sign up for Alchemy, I don't want alchemy. The Alchemy packs that are sitting in my inventory will never be opened, and I also intend to demand their removal. I will not spend another cent until I can opt out of alchemy.

Wizards, please! Like the others said already, separate historic and alchemy format. I play MTGA because with this, I can somehow feel that I am playing the tabletop game. What is the difference now between MTGA VS LOR, Hearthstone and the others?! Please we just want to have a vintage feel from digital. (Not MTGO) Please Wizards, if not. I know I am not a lost to you, but I will quit MTG for good.

Since today. There are only two formats in MTGA -- STANDARD format and the ******* "Hearthstone" format.

Agreed, leave historic alone! Historic should be like legacy.
Alchemy as it's own new format is fine.

I'm calling paypal, and my credit card issuers tomorrow to see if I can arrange a charge-back on every purchase I've made so far.
I buy packs to get wildcards, so indirectly I have bought these cards specifically.
Just because I used a wildcard to craft a card, does not make it any less a purchase.I've bought these cards, and now they are gone.
I want my money back, and I'm gonna try my best to get it.

I've uninstalled until the change is reverted for historic formats. Historic brawl, my favorite format by miles, is a ghost of its former self with these erratas and digital only cards. Please think about what you are doing. You are ostracizing your longtime fans.

I wish you would ask the community about anti-consumer decisions first before you choose to implement them to the detriment of the game. Good riddance JotC!

Leave Historic Brawl alone! Leave the cards as printed and while you're at it, take out the digital-only cards you introduced with Historic Horizons.

Arena's literally my only option to play Magic with the pandemic ongoing. Please, WotC. Alchemy is genuinely a terrible product to introduce into the game. Please listen to the playerbase and remove it.

Just logged in and played one game of Historic, lost immediately to an "Alchemy" card. Checked the set and now I just feel dejected. The collection I have built over the last few years feels worthless. I have a serious trust deficit with this platform now. I felt so betrayed, I just logged out. Not sure if/when I will feel like logging in again. I am not sure what WoTC intended with this change, but I hope they realize the impact it is having.

Please WotC, For all that is Holy... I would like to use all the cards I have in Historic and not buffed/Nerfed versions. I would like a True Historic Format, even stuff that was Pre-banned from Stryxhaven (like Dark rit, Lightning bolt, etc.) I would also like Brainstorm and Memory lapse back. Instead of this alchemy stuff, why not a real historic format?
If anything is too powerful like OkO, Uro or FoTD, please consider the "Vintage Treatment". I could deal with a restricted list.
I got into Arena with the Hope that it would have the Paper Pioneer at least one day (but I also want Legacy and Vintage to be viable eventually)
Alchemy is fine as it's own format, whatever.... Just please don't mess with Historic cards..
In Fact, I want anthologies to introduce more of the orginal dual lands, Black Lotus, Force of WIll, Daze, High Tide, Candelabra, Tarmagoyf, Goblin Lackey, Aether Vial, etc etc...
Instead of Nerf/Buff Digital only cards... slowly add good cards and then you can unban Dark Rits and what not.
ALCHEMY IS THE WRONG DIRECTION!!!!!!

I don't mind the Alchemy format, and I don't mind digital-only cards.
What I DO NOT want is nerfed cards messing up Historic Brawl decks. Just let us play the original, printed versions of cards in all formats that aren't Alchemy.

Please don't apply Alchemy rebalances to Historic — it's not fun.
Dave Humphreys recently wrote* that "we plan to intentionally make decisions to have Alchemy diverge from the metagame of Standard and other formats to provide an alternative experience to play."
That's fine I guess, but why would you want to ruin the experience of players who aren't seeking that "alternative"?

Please don't force Alchemy cards into Historic.

Malk#82868 commented
Alchemy being forced into Historic was one of the worst game design decisions I have seen in a long time.
I have played Arena since the Closed Beta.
Quit during Ravnica due to shuffler, rigged matchmaking and many other issues. Decided to give a second chance to the game at the launch of Dungeons and Dragons, and had been playing until now.
The issues that made me quit still plague the game, but it was good as a product since it mirrored some of the paper experience into a digital format.Screwing over the only format closer to an Eternal paper format due to profits is just plain stupid.
I used to spend 100+ dollars per collection. Not going to spend a single dollar in this game anymore.
Already uninstalled the client, and don't see myself coming back to this game. -

Please leave Historic alone. This is just awful. Nobody wants this trash. We want the cards to be exactly the way they are printed in paper.
Hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars down the drain. I really want my money back. This will cause the game to lose many many players. I guarantee it.
