Alchemy is a terrible decision, and I hate it beyond words. You just have a major championship in Historic, people get excited about the format then you wreck it by introducing Alchemy cards and changes to nerf or boost cards that affect cards we already spent wildcards on for historic. The Alchemy cards should only be played in Alchemy, I don't think they should exist at all....especially if you want people to be able to go back and forth between MTG arena and paper MTG. I've been playing this game off an on since 1994, and as someone who has a job/family/other responsibilities, I love Arena. I love to play both standard and historic and typically hit mythic each month....but I refuse to play the Alchemy format---and will likely abandon historic because of it. I know you want more money from players, and the ability to adjust cards post-production but this is not the way. I am deeply disappointed with Alchemy, I only hope enough people don't buy Alchemy packs and don't play Alchemy so it dies. I'm complaining in this space because I cannot find the right place to send this. Please pass it on to the correct department.
