![]() ![]() It certainly is seasonal for Historic - right now after a new Standard set, the numbers are very low. But it seems that enfranchised players aren't fans. Currently it seems to be targeted at more enfranchised players who want more meta changes so things don't become stale. I really don't think Alchemy is a very casual friendly format at the moment, but that could change in the future if they can decide what they want Alchemy to be. ![]() But I don't see this making as big of a change as the other factors I brought up. You could probably argue the other way around too and say that enfranchised players are more likely to play standard because that has more competition. Since you don't "naturally" collect Alchemy cards like you do Standard cards, to even play Alchemy they need to buy a bunch of Alchemy packs or spend a lot of wildcards, both seem unlikely for more casual players. Standard is also literally called Standard, for casual players it's where they can play all the cards they get from pack rewards and ICRs from midweek magic and normal games. There are more cards to collect in Alchemy and more frequent meta changes, so it's harder to keep up with than Standard. However I don't see a great reason why alchemy should be way more popular among less dedicated players. Wouldn't this show a tendency towards Standard only for enfranchised players?Ībsolutely! Can't say for sure what goes for people who don't use untapped.
