I like the changes overall, but Historic not counting towards daily wins just feels petty.
Hey there! Just to make things as clear as we can: The Historic Ranked queues coming later this year and Historic events will offer full rewards and progress toward daily/weekly wins. So while the always-available Historic play queue only offers experience via quest completion, there are other ways that Historic play will count toward daily/weekly wins.
Please think long and hard on what cards to add - if any. I'd still rather have no extra cards and wait for historic to grow naturally.
Introductions that invalidate previous decks and "force" people into buying them are a big no-no.
On the other hand, I fully understand that it would be stupid from an economical pov to code cards that no one will want to buy. So zero additions is the safest and cheapest way.
If you want to open up another revenue stream with old cards, why not give that idea some more thought than a few weeks and eventually create it's own format?
One of the things my team here at Wizards social/community does is make sure this kind of feedback gets to the design teams here in Renton. We've been sharing this with the MTG Arena development team directly throughout the implementation of Historic. The team is really excited for Historic on Arena to be its own original format that can leverage the digital playground. In order to ensure that it's a fun and healthy sort of playground, we're working with the Magic R&D team (sometimes referred to as Studio X) and the play test teams for any additional cards added to the format.
