Yea you've correctly identified the paradox in Historic. I think they kind of screwed up with Alchemy being forced in. They should have made a "Historic Alchemy" as a separate format. Historic would be amazing as a vintage style format where these cards were all legal. I personally thought it was fine but perhaps they have data on the game play and it could have shown cards like Channel were played in too high a %. Release the data!
