Could you please, please, pretty please implement a way to toggle off Alchemy cards in Historic Brawl for players who do not want to play with and against these cards?

This is a critical issue that many players are dealing with! We spent our time and hard earned money to create Standard and Historic decks just to see them be horribly degraded by all the broken cards and mechanics of Alchemy. At the very least get Alchemy out of Historic! I will not spend another dime on this product until there's actually a separation where I can que into a game of Historic that does not include the usage of Alchemy cards. Wizards, how can you even begin to justify these as two different game modes (one as Alchemy and one as Historic), and then completely ignore the differences in your game code to allow players to use any and all Alchemy cards within the Historic game mode, ranked or otherwise? Separate the game modes as you have expressively intended from the beginning or risk losing your whale, og Magic customers; the choice is yours.

Exactly this!!!

Separate those stupid broken *** Alchemy cards from the real ones, I don't need people perpetually raping me beyond comparison. Also, why the **** is there an ability that lets people conjure the same ******* spell over and over and over and over and over in a SINGLE ******* CARD FORMAT?

Separate Historic Brawl and Alchemy please. Alchemy cards may be fun for some people but the drafting of cards ruins my enjoyment of the game. Please just give us access to historic brawl without alchemy.

I would love to play historic, but I hate alchemy and how cards are balanced for historic. Can we get a historic without alchemy or alchemy balanced cards?

Alchemy ruined the game, good thing it released a few days before i finally decided myself to put money in the game, was debating but it reverted my choice pretty easily... i guess maybe some day they will listen and let us play magic in arena (prolly not seem like after more then half a year it's still the same)...until then...it's fun a fun time realising i had other game i could play.

A way to disable those alchemy card and be able to play magic the gathering on magic arena?

I'm really sick of these powerful Alchemy cards, which are allowed to be played in Historic I see being used constantly. Banned cards that were once in Historic such as Teferi Time Raveler, is even more powerful in Alchemy. I once had a fun Historic deck that I enjoyed playing that is constantly being thwarted to heavy used alchemy cards. I've seen many people complain about this and instead it seems you guys shed a blind eye and push alchemy even more. Please do something about this. I don't enjoy playing alchemy, I stopped playing that format, bc of the ridiculousness of how powerful alchemy cards are. And now they are allowed in Historic which is ruining that format for me as well. I might as well go back to collecting hard copies of cards. Please take Alchemy out of Historic. It makes Historic less fun.

I'm really starting to get sick of Alchemy. I've stopped trying to collect alchemy cards and I refuse to play in any alchemy event. Furthermore, I disdain the fact that alchemy cards are able to be used in Historic. You might as well take out Historic. Alchemy is ruining the wonderful Historic format that you once had. I find these alchemy card such as Teferi Time Raveler (that the original was banned) and Undercity Plunder, to name a few unfair, and I'm constantly getting beat by Esper and/or Azorious control decks. I used to have a good Historic deck that I enjoyed playing. But it is amateur compared to these Alchemy decks that ppl are bringing in. I'd like to either see alchemy in it's own format, or get rid of it altogether. I loathe the format, and allowing these cards in Historic, is furthermore making me loathe that too. I've seen other ppl in this forum complain, yet it seems you shed a blind eye and push alchemy on us even more. I would like to see something changed about this otherwise, I may stop playing because it's not fun.

I need you to remove Alchemy cards from Historic Brawl. The format bans sideboard/wishboard/learnboards, yet now we have these Alchemy cards that access cards from "spellbooks" which is the same thing. Spellbooks are outside the game. Bringing cards from outside the game in Brawl is banned. You need to remove the Alchemy cards from the format. It needs to happen immediately. You need to do it. You made a mistake. Fix your mistake.

I need to express my extreme dissatisfaction with MTGA/WOTC product Alchemy and request that you remove the cards from the historic and brawl formats.
I understand people like Alchemy, and so they should play the Alchemy format. They should not be allowed to dominate other formats with these cards.
I am INCREDIBLY distressed when ever I have to endure this inordinate disadvantage. I feel like all the time I spent building decks is wasted when playing Historic Brawl and a card hits the board that has onboard tutor effects, or allows a player to pull from a wish board/side board - which is illegal in the format.
It's OK that these cards have these effects, just not in Brawl specifically. This example is proof positive that the format has been warped.

FIX the shuffler.

Get rid of Alchemy(and If I'm not playing in Alchemy I don't want to see those fake cards in ANY of my other decks.)

Get rid of those bs Arena cards.

Arena is abomination of Magic in its current state. And you wonder why you can't get more Arena players LOL.

The latest running Joke. "If you want to learn how to play magic completely wrong go play arena."

It isn't very honest of Wizards. People have spent resources to get cards that can be played in Historic and Historic Brawl and have now potentially had some of their cards altered. In some cases this can make decks less playable and so wildcards should be given to replace all downgraded cards.

Agreed!

Get alchemy cards out of the historic format. If I wanted to play Hearthstone, I'd play Hearthstone.

Completely agree . Why are they creating new garbage to mess with the only format that anybody cares about ? As a commander player with no real mobile option to play commander I'm stuck but fixing to walk away from this . The conjure mechanic is broken ( I know cuz I've won games I shouldn't have because of it ) and now I can't edit my decks because of this alchemy **** .

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.

As someone who has played almost every day for the past year and poured $1700+ into my Standard and Historic collections, the Alchemy changes in Historic make me regret ever playing Arena. Out of 20+ Historic decks only two were playable without swapping for rebalanced Alchemy cards, when they're not even the most broken cards in the format.

I got into Historic because I was a kitchen table player in paper and wanted a more challenging and interesting format closer to what I was use to without using the unsightly and annoyingly cumbersome MTGO platform. Now I can't even escape to Historic when Standard is boring me. Alchemy is fine if you want to spice up Standard, but keep it out of Historic.

Alchemy is a horrible idea, even at face value, no further explanation needed… just get rid of it. At the very least, make the cards illegal in Historic. It was bad enough to have cards in the base set that weren’t “real” cards, but now it sounds like you’re going to be creating those constantly, and randomly changing the card text… fun… so now Arena really isn’t Magic is it? I guess it was fun while it lasted…

You had one job!
