Only cards currently banned in historic should require the alchemy version. For instance, omnath sure only allow the alchemy version in historic. But it makes 0 sense to nerf standard legal cards in a format as powerful as historic.

It’s crazy, if historic was weaker than standard sure. But why ruin perfectly good cards that weren’t even too good in standard.

Leave the nerfs to alchemy for non banned historic cards, alchemy is a super cool format but should not change historic unless it’s enhancing it.

This really really makes 0 sense.
