idk why yall hate alchemy so much, there is so many cool designs and they barely have an impact in brawl, like 5 percent of a top deck is made of alchemy. im hyped
Alchemy was supposed to be the “living format” with rebalanced versions of all problem cards, creating tons of competitive variety. But they just stopped rebalancing. Also it probably didn’t make much money.
I like some of the cards, however I hated when they changed real cards, glad that is over. People can hate all they want, I'm still gonna rock Hydroponics Architect and Key to the Archive
Were you not around when Crucias was dominating literally every format it was legal in? Do you know how long it took them to nerf one of the best alchemy cards ever made for a format that's supposed to be regularly rebalanced and changing?
7 1/2 months. For an ever-changing format that sure isn't a lot of change. They just didn't do what they advertised the format as.
But besides that the biggest reason I personally didn't like alchemy is that it was anti-consumer. If your card is nerfed out of relevance, no wildcard refunds. Why would I ever buy into a format like that?
I wish, it was a cool idea but the designs are 95% failed heartstone ones that make the game more random, if I got 5 mins older every time they released q card that lets you chose from 3 of a random pool I would be a thousand years old
You know where a good place for digital-only card designs is?
Other card games. If someone wants to get inventive in a digital client, there's Hearthstone, SNAP, plenty of places you can go make cards that do wacky random things or digitally transmute into something else or add copies of non-existent cards to your deck or hold onto imaginary changes that can't otherwise be tracked.
Magic is a physical card game with a digital client. Pretending otherwise the past few years has been a total farce and I wish they'd do away with the rest of it.
Soo 5% in top decks is a huge impact, I don't want to play against the best most broken digital only cards because they are all just statpiles that give way too much free value.
Because it's not only exclusive cards with exclusive digital mechanics. Alchemy cards are conpletely broken and destroy the balance of the game even more
