    I really like the Alchemy concept and am happy to play it, but it shouldn't have any effect on Historic. Historic should be left alone, like Standard, where the cards are exactly as they were on paper.

    My main reason for stating this is that balance in Alchemy is going to be different than balance in Historic and so tweaks in Alchemy may produce effects in Historic that are unwanted. We know Alchemy will have a different base of cards than Historic and as such it makes no sense to be rebalancing digital cards when those cards are across two formats, Alchemy and Historic.

    It's also true that Arena needs an "eternal" format where the power level is higher than Standard, and Historic was that format -- but if cards are nerfed in Alchemy, and that means they are nerfed in Historic, then Historic isn't that high power format, and the result is Arena has nothing -- no Legacy, no Modern, no Pioneer, and really, no Historic in the sense that you aren't playing the cards the way they were designed if it's "new Historic" i.e. Alchemy nerfs and buffs and digital cards that were never released in paper.
