I started playing Modern at my local game store and it kicks rear end even though I had to lay out some money to build my card collection again. The fact that they're putting the "rebalanced" cards into historic sucks since historic and historic brawl are the most fun formats on Arena

The last time I played modern I saw a table flipped when someone played a mono blue extra turns deck. Howling mine, walk the aeons, every extra turn card, the wincon is vanilla jace ultimate three times (mill 20 cards). The guy kept audibly saying how many extra turns he was on 'eleven........twelve' and his opponent lost it lol Edit: he flipped it when the guy said 'better luck next time' while still gaining extra turns, which is now an inside joke when my friends beat each other in friendlies

b_d posted:whats the format its called alchemy, its arena only. its rebalanced cards from standard (like luminarch aspirant gives counters on the end step, faceless haven is a 3/3 instead of a 4/3, etc.) plus a bunch of those cards that seek and conjure and add perpetually. basically its wacky hearthstone bullshit in mtg. also theres no way to get the cards in bulk like draft, you gotta buy packs so if you want to play it you need to burn tons of wcs, although this first go around they give you the rebalances of cards you have for free. also some of the cards they brought back are miserable, like they redid new omnath for people who didnt get enough of that the first time and some other real miserable poo poo. theyre going to be putting one of these out with every standard set from now on apparently. also all the cards are historic-legal i think

all the new cards (not the rebalanced ones, just the actual new cards) are historic legal and even though they probably wont be strong enough to warp the format, if some are theres no way to get them other than burning WCs or buying packs and theres already a huge buy-in to make a historic deck. just a real dumb format decision all around

i don't care if they want to sell hearthstone under the MTG banner to whatever the audience for that is, but making it legal in historic is a huge mistake. it also feels like an admission that they've hosed up a little too much in standard for the past couple of rotations.

alchemy seems ok. its a whale format for ppl that already have all the cards and just want to play a standard that keeps getting shifted hard every month or so. the problem is when it affects other formats, like its doing historic. im not even worried ab them making cards too powerful for historic, but when they nerf cards in alchemy, they nerf them in historic too. so now luminarch aspirant has been nerfed in historic to pay for alchemys sins. thats bs

They should just have a regular historic and alchemy historic queue. That would make it way less objectionable

oh hey its another magic thread. and quickly browsing it its not full of toxic aggro shitheads, cool I stopped playing Arena for all of 3 or 4 days after the alchemy bullshit but am now back on my bullshit, but sticking mostly to historic brawl. the new alchemy cards have had less of an effect than banning field of the dead. its a fun, nice way to blow off steam for 3-5 minutes at a time.
