They are constantly running alchemy challenges to get people to play alchemy. It's a unpopular **** format and the sooner they consign it the scrapheap the better.

Making these events all access or opening all cards would make them more fun, especially for new and f2p players who don't have access to all the cards for all the decks since I don't see them having much value for the folks that do already have all the cards or their preferred formats though I don't know the numbers on that.

Maybe they could try one where it actually involves original decks? Maybe they could do one where I don't get shafted by the shuffler with all lands being one color, and then the next match the one I didn't get (islands) is the only lands I draw. Maybe don't force alchemy down our gullets. They assume because they're fat and worthless, we must all love just opening our mouths for anything. These idiot devs are garbage and should go sit in an unemployment line.

Midweek magic events have been getting worse and worse recently, especially with regards to events that are denied being "all-access." Khans of Tarkir constructed was the latest, most glaring example. Instead of giving people a fun introduction to a more niche release and expanding player interest, you lock "free" weekly rewards behind a pseudo-paywall (money or wildcards spent on a card pool not legal in standard and with minimal viability in its legal formats) and give tons of people a bad impression.

Absolutely! Like MULTIPLAYER Historic Brawl please!

Evergreen formats should be all-access if anything.
Also duplicate protection for the rewards would be a great thing...

And make them all access. It's painfully clear that they are designed to drain wildcards instead of rewarding them

One of MTGs many strengths is the variety of formats that are available. For the purposes of a smooth playing experience for players I recognise it is not feasible for all such formats to be available all the time on MTG Arena, due to play queue times and other factors.

However, it is then extremely disappointing when mid week magic takes the form of evergreen formats such as Standard, Alchemy, Historic, Explorer , Brawl etc that are available all the time.

More unique formats such as Pauper, Artisan, Phantom Draft, Singleton, and a whole host of other creative formats should be the only formats chosen for Mid Week magic. Such formats provide a respite from what can otherwise become repetitive formats that are available whenever a player wants.
