I am now on Day 3 of not playing MTGA, and I am actively mentioning to friends that the game is not recommended.

It is no longer installed.

It will remain uninstalled until one of these things happen:

1) Historic & Historic Brawl changes are rolled back
2) A second untainted Historic & Historic Brawl queue is added
3) Pioneer is brought to MTGA. It doesn't need to have all pioneer legal cards. It just needs to be eternal.

This is non-negotiable.

I have sunk a lot of money into MTGA.

Starting to think about what I can sink my money into instead.

Time to short Hasbro stock. Should get my money back in no time.

As has been said by many here, Alchemy in general is fine. But having it completely corrupt Historic is awful. Either have 2 versions of Historic like you do now with Standard, or have Historic use traditional Standard versions of cards.

Also, no WCs when a card is nerfed is ridiculous.

At least have a separate format with Alchemy cards and remove Alchemy from Historic. Please!

Screwing up historic with your forcing altered cards on us and cards that dont exist in paper magic is really killing this game for me. Youre not hearthstone. People love magic for being magic. Why try so hard to be something youre not? Seriously... Think its time I move back to MTGO permanently. Arenas just becoming more unenjoyable by the day. I was absolutely loving Historic Brawl.. but thanks to alchemy thats all fkd up.

Rebalanced cards were fun for events, but the players do not want them in historic. Time to listen WOTC

What the **** WOTC!

The only reason I play arena is for historic and I only spend wild cards for historic.

Someone let me know when this **** is out of my format so I can reinstall.

Give us a proper historic eternal format matching paper cards, without balanced and digital cards. That is what people wants, playing real magic on a digital platform.

Historic was one of the healthiest format atm, an awesome place to be, please keep it that way. I don't care much about pioneer, i do like that jumpstart, anthologies and modern horizons cards brought the powerlevel inbetween modern and pioneer, it was great.

Just give us historic as it was, with only real paper cards and keep adding remastered sets.

At the height of my time with Arena, it feels, I have just finished uninstalling it. I don't have a consistent way to play paper magic, and my Arena collection vastly outnumbers my paper collection, so my way to play this game I was really getting into has just been taken away from me. I don't regret spending the $50 investment into a mastery pass bundle that has given me a consistent way to keep earning cards and gems for several expansions now, and I probably would have kept slowly dropping money into it as my passion grew. But now if I want to play magic in the little free time I have, I no longer have a way of playing the way I want to.

Don’t nerf cards without compensation!

Alchemy has too many rares and mythics.

I don't mind Alchemy as a format and I would play it. I don't mind digital cards. I don't entirely mind shaking Historic up. I would prefer to see a paper eternal format like Pioneer introduced, and maybe have Alchemy cards not be all Rare and Mythic, but whatever.

The hill I will die on is changing cards I paid money and resources to access and not refunding me that purchase. It's borderline a bait and switch practice that has me wanting to uninstall. Two of my best friends already uninstalled over this nonsense.

You want to create a new mode and introduce digital stuff? Great! You want to do that at the expense of the user experience and added cost to your players? No. You do realize your competition (WHO IS BEATING YOU FINANCIALLY) is significantly more user friendly....right?

Yeah... what all those other folks are saying!

Honestly , what the **** is wrong with you, WOTC?

You know you've **** the bed again.

Historic was the best thing to happen to Arena. Adding the Alchemy version cards into this format absolutely ruined it. I have uninstalled Arena with zero intentions of returning until Alchemy cards leave the format.

Please listen to the community :(

WotC,

You know Historic players don't want this. Your decision was not an oversight or a mistake. We understand that Hasbro is pressuring you to increase sales by 15% every year, but we also love Magic and want it to be fun, exciting, and reliable. PLEASE I hope anyone reading this can forward a message to management at WotC: I implore you to consider meeting your 15% profit increase by making the game great and bringing new players to the table, rather than making the game more expensive and trying to fleece your dedicated fans for every penny of disposable income they have.

Magic is a great game that we love, and I know we can work together to make it more fun, more inclusive, and most importantly for WotC more profitable.

Alchemy is fine as its own format but please leave historic alone.

Now important influencers on Houtube are going against you…how can you keep ignoring all this?

LEAVE. HISTORIC. ALONE.

I want an eternal format.
Hells, I would drop so much cash if you could just bring pioneer and merge it to Historic.

Stop this digital-only non-sense and let us play MAGIC.

I really don’t have a way to play in person, so I play on Arena. Now that Historic has these Alchemy cards, it’s really not Magic, so I really don’t have a place to play anymore. I’m not interested in playing cards that are only available on Arena. I can’t bring myself to spend any more time or money on this game until Alchemy gets out of Historic and Rebalanced goes away entirely.

Whoever came up with this idea should be fired immediately. In the future, anything that isn’t available on paper should be completely optional in Arena. Also, try spending your time working through all your glitches for a while.

Side note: Your new UI sucks. It’s like you intentionally tried to make it more confusing.

I still don't understand the point of adding alchemy, and even less so of changing cards in Historic according to that horrible, sad excuse for a "product". Do you purposefully want to sabotage Arena and Historic?

Please leave Historic alone, this is such an obvious cash grab for you guys.
