Alchemy makes me quit Arena
I'm a long time magic player and have spent several thousands of dollars on this game but after yesterday's Alchemy announcement I am sorry to say that I am done playing constructed on Arena. You're losing me as a customer.
I don't like the idea of digital cards changing so that they don't match the real world physical cards. This is a cognitive load that is unnecessary. Change the card name to something else if you're planning on rebalancing cards. Paper and the original digital version of the card should be in sync. I'm done with constructed on Arena. I'm not going to play it anymore and I'm not going to buy anything for it anymore. Best of luck. I'm leaving this game.

These scumbags don't care because idiots are more than willing to pay for a skill set that they lack in playing magic. This game is dying and I'm glad it is. Terrible company and Hasbro should be ashamed of the garbage they're worthless trash teams produce.

When I play historic, I almost always insta scoop the second I see an alchemy card. I hate that alchemy has ruined historic. It used to be such good format, but now it's just overrun with conjuring cards and seeking. Anyways, as a former historic lover, I will exclusively be playing the sub par non-pioneer format that is explorer I guess... and forget about brawl, because that's either standard or historic.
Also as a side note, the art in alchemy cards is very bland. Feels like someone threw magic keywords and names into a blender then threw that into an AI art generator. All in all very disappointing

I've been matched with countless opponents playing mono green and seeking/conjuring additional lands from thin air.
It's actually ridiculous how unfun and unfair playing against opponents using these cards in Brawl.

All I see is garbage cheating digital only alchemy cards. It's not magic anymore it's unfun disgusting unreal and can't be copied to paper so fake.

Completely agree. This and their support of wokeness has caused me to quit entirely.

I'm leaving too... Alchemy is ridiculous. The fact that they've put these cards in Brawl and Historic Brawl is a MASSIVE blunder, because they fetch cards from outside of the game, even though that mechanic is banned from these Brawl formats. Brawl bans the use of sideboards/wish boards/learn boards... WOTC has decided to warp these formats by including Alchemy cards that fetch cards from "spellbooks" which are a zone outside of the game. This is either a mistake, or some dodgy stunt by WOTC to sell this new format, which I for one think is a disgrace.
