Been a while, but incoming long thread: #mtgalchemy has been up for almost three months now and, seemingly, the launch of this new digital format has been a disaster. Facing a negative reaction from the community and a poor player base, I wanted to take today to talk about it.
Note: This will not be a thread about the Magic Arena economy. I've done that thread, and said most of what I had to say on that subject already. This thread is about the other big challenges the Alchemy format is facing, and my own perspective on it's current state.
I want to start by saying upfront: I love the idea of Alchemy as a format. I think it plays to the strengths of Arena as a digital client, and I had a lot of hope for it at launch. I found most of the new cards extremely fun, and the idea of rebalancing cards was neat to me.
