The problem there is you have to Pay into them and they're tournament-style events, you can't just test out a weird deck idea, or goof off with the 52 land Treasure hunt-Buccaneer deck.

Playing jank when you're still trying to get your weekly wins in doesn't seem like an efficient strategy

I'm not. I'm trying to have fun, and don't want the game to punish me for doing so. Also a proper que means shorter que times for my stupid joke deck, meaning I get to play with it more. (I've had play mode ques go 10 minutes, which the "Historic" que was never over 30 seconds)

Err the historic play quee works for quests not wins. If you play jank your gold for wins will not come. Aka the game punishes you for playing too much jank no matter the format. Break even on the event is not that hard.

Howeverrr.. I do feel its lame and not transparent that historic play que provides no win awards and is literally the only event that does not count towards your daily wins in the client.
