Please make a Timeless format without Alchemy!
I hate alchemy design, please make a Vintage queue for people who plays explorer and wants a new expanded format with fidelity with how the game is in the tabletop.

If you enjoy timeless the way it is please don't waste your time saying there are few playable alchemy cards.

It doesnt matter. Timeless is so powerful most of the alc cards are ignored like u said. just dont use them in your decks.

Alchemy will be the death of Arena. It's a bad design that they can't really get rid of without starting over.

Have fun flushing your collection down the toilet for the umpteenth time here in a couple years.

I agree with you, I don't spend more time in MTG arena because of this risk.
When they create a place for the Legacy and Vintage player without the alchemy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I would love to make Arena my game number one.

I see at long term they making alchemy cards designed for the timeless format, i know how greedy wizard is.

what alchemy cards are even playable in timeless?

I don't think there's any alchemy cards in the meta, the problem is with the design, those new cards have a really different vibe from the paper magic, it's also boring to have alchemy cards in the middle of my collection when creating a deck trying to avoid Alchemy.

And with the presence of the alchemy the future of the timeless is very uncertain vs the future of tabletop formats such legacy, explorer and vintage.

They will never stop alchemy. Remember, the real money spending is only done by the dumbest people of the species, so they have to make alchemy to let the stupid people win by cheating really easily, that way they stay hooked and keep spending money

Which is why everyone involved in alchemy deserves to be kneecapped

Alchemy is to do things you can't do in paper magic. What "I win" card are you talking about.

Conjure, draft and seek are great mechanics imo. You don't like crusias? He's already been nerfed.

You might have a better argument about perpetual effects in alchemy. I think those are some of the most unfair

Why? Everyone says this, even though Standard has just as bad if not worse ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, like turn 4 infinite combos.

Perpetual is the most fun imo, it adds an extra layer of player created subversion that is incredibly interesting and whacky, like making all your creatures and artifacts become enchantments then procing wild ♥♥♥♥ on those "enchantments" with enchantment targeting cards.

I think brawl/commander is the best personally. (yes i know it's not technically the same, stop asking.) the randomness of the specific cards (because you only get one) puts your deckbuilding to the test, instead of winning via netdeck for the most part, and probably why there isn't any real meta.

We def need commander without alchemy too!
