    I took a long break from Magic: Arena. When I came back, I was able to quickly build a competitive Historic deck, adding just a few additions to cards I already had.

    On the face of it, WotC (or Hasbro) might not like that I caught up without spending money. But the thing is, I *did* end up spending money. I ended up pre-ordering Midnight Hunt and Crimson Vow. If it was harder to get into Magic because there's no stable format, I might just not have bothered.

    The team clearly understands that there's a meaningful difference between "paper" and "digital" versions of the game. I have zero problems whatsoever with adding new digital formats with different rules and different approaches to design. However, these changes mean that there will no longer be a paper-like, non-rotating format. That's a dealbreaker for me, and it directly translates to no longer spending money on the game.

    (I also dislike adding digital-only cards to Historic.)

    If they introduced this alongside another paper-parity, non-rotating format, like Pioneer (which, per the announcement, is at least a couple years away) I wouldn't have an issue. But this is directly taking something away from the game.

    And that's not even touching on the really tight-fisted wildcard policy.
