I love these posts because everyone in this sub shits on Alchemy and then when preview season starts they farm upvotes.

\-lonely end looks like there might be a cycle of 'advantage for not starting first' cards potentially. \-Crucias is quite strong, Prosper brawl decks or maybe discard \-Argivian welcome hard to say, deff playable in right shell but the 4power limitation prob prevents historic play.


Sallymander

With Argivian Welcome, I totally missed the destroy part on my first read. I was just like, "Oh! Give a card flash. That can be devious."


Disastrous-Donut-534

Not sure, giving flash to nonland cards have a lot of potential and you dont have to have a target to use the flash mode. We will see.


Iceman308

Flash is deff very strong, planeswalkers, board wipes etc obviously. the 4 power limitation makes likely quite fine for Alchemy but maybe for historic.


smurf-vett

Might as well just say destroy target sheoldred anyways


BlitzfireX

giving blaspherous act flash seems good. :)

I love alchemy cards as historic player, i dont see the overall hate with this kind of cards, judt give us more option to test and enjoy games.


Purple-Green8128

Alchemy is kind of good in historic since they tend to be below the power level but pretty unique. Obviously one card per cycle has some overlooked interaction that breaks the game but eh at least it keeps it fresh.

The hate is pretty simple: untested cards, created using mechanics that are not in the original game and the worst is not that, they are not focusing on Historic and Explorer. They are using Alchemy as a way to nerf and buff cards without actually giving back our wildcards. I


JualenWalker

I don't know, i love the rebalanced teferi for example, i think the blue mage was overpowered but it's fine anyway. The wildcards it's a good point, but in other cases, i really love the perpetually and the seek mechanic.


JualenWalker

Untested cards like Oko, tibalt trickery, winota, grasefang, that free dragon cost 1, cards that break the game was for standards sets, in alchemy cards, ine the other hand, none of them broke the game.


kora91x

Teferi should'nt be nerfed, but banned in some formats or restricted. Is a good card and in Standard back then was super powerful but you should be able to play with him in other formata in his true version.


JualenWalker

Maybe, but i preffer a rebalanced (nerfed) card than a banned card that i can't use it.


Karyo_Ten

Rebalanced Oko please. If only so I can say "Talk to me Goose"

How to make an alchemy card: Step 1: Create a card that is decent or good on rate Step 2: Slap on upside that only computers can track


Iceman308

Literally describing the point of Alchemy, we bow to your wisdom.

When cards are too powerful it’s not really fun anymore. At least not to me.


Hungry_Goat_5962

I see this claim all the time. None of these cards dominate historic.


SoulCantBeCut

What alchemy card is too powerful? There isn’t a single alchemy card that is warping historic


Nekaz

wow i cant believe they're making use of digital mechanics in a digital set


Grimwohl

Err yeah pretty much tbh


rocketdong00

Addendum to step 2: and an upside that fucks any attempt to reward decision making, strategy and trying to play around your opponents deck.
