Please don't have rebalances done for Alchemy affect Historic
Changes to ban/suspend/rebalance cards in Alchemy should have no impact on the cards in Historic.
If a card is problematic in historic and you want to re-balance it specifically with that format in mind rather then ban it then I'm fine with that (though not everyone is).
As a historic player I get excited for the most powerful cards that come out with each standard set since they are the most likely to be playable in historic. But them being powerful also means they are now the most likely cards to be nerfed based on Alchemy power level which dampens the excitement and disincentivizes historic players from buying standard packs/cards.

Alchemy is interesting as a separate format but please leave cards alone in historic. I like how historic uses (mostly) the same cards that I can have in paper, please don't mess it up with continuously editing cards. If cards are way too unfair/abused/unfun for historic, just ban them like you have been doing.

I am uninstalling all all platforms until the following two decisions are undone: Not refunding wildcards for nerfed Alchemy cards (a practice Hearthstone has done for years), and not having Alchemy nerfs effect Historic. You lost another paying customer over greed and mismanagement, WOTC. I am not willing to play Historic with these decision in place. I play Historic because it is a Non-Rotating format. Spending wildcards is no longer safe in Historic because of these decisions. You are making cards we spent wildcards on unplayable in Historic due to setting them to an appropriate power level for Alchemy i.e. Standard (not Historic) with not compensation for sunk cos
