It seems really weird that decathlon event only gives 20% alchemy boosters, considering Alchemy will basically be the newest set, and it's also Historic playable. Would make much more sense to replace Historic Boosters with Alchemy boosters, or even better, give 100% Alchemy boosters (or let us choose, but I assume it's not implemented in the client) as a reward.

It's already really hard to collect Alchemy cards, and getting useless boosters like M19 or Ixalan instead will feel staright up terrible. Getting Standard boosters for sets where you already own all cards you wanted to get isn't ideal either.

I personally think that 100% is the best choice, but it won't be fair towards people who don't care about Alchemy or Historic and only play regular Standard. At the same time, perhaps if those people got some Alchemy Boosters from events, they would be willing to try it out, and that would make much more sense, if Wizards are trying to promote that format. Instead, it just feels like a cheap move, where wizards purposefully reduced the % of Alchemy boosters to make it harder to collect Alchemy cards (so people will fork over money).

That's a fair piece of feedback. I'll tell you now that 100% Alchemy packs isn't going to happen - as you say, there are other formats on the platform that we want to be represented here, that's the whole point of the Decathlon - but a bit more of the new thing could be appropriate. I can't make any promises, but we'll see if we can do a quick adjustment.
