Alchemist is an Action card from Alchemy. It is similar to LaboratoryLaboratory.jpg, but can be put on top of your deck if you play a PotionPotion.jpg; a stack of Alchemists which consistently draws your whole deck will thus be able to stay on top of your deck for the whole game!

FAQ

Official FAQ

  • When you discard this from play during Clean-up, if you have at least one Potion card in play, you may put Alchemist on top of your deck.
  • This is optional, and happens before drawing your new hand.
  • If you have multiple Alchemists and a Potion, you can put any or all of the Alchemists on top of your deck.
  • You do not have to have used the Potion to buy anything, you only need to have played it.
  • You choose what order to discard cards in Clean-up, and so can discard your Alchemists ahead of your Potion.

Other Rules clarifications

  • Remember that you are allowed to play a Potion during your buy phase, like any other Treasure, even if you don't intend to or can't buy a card with P in the cost.

Strategy Article

There isn't an Alchemist strategy article.

Alchemist has a similar cost to LaboratoryLaboratory.jpg, with P replacing a Silver. However, the P makes it a lot harder to accumulate large numbers of Alchemists, and isn't useful for buying Provinces; Alchemist stacks are therefore pretty slow to set up. They can make for extremely consistent engines when an engine is needed, but by themselves Alchemists are not fast enough to beat reasonable Big Money-like strategies.

A key decision is whether or not to get a second Potion, to get Alchemists faster and to be more likely to keep them on top. Surprisingly, a second Potion is often unhelpful, especially in the presence of trashing.

If there are handsize attacks, then you should only put three Alchemists back on top.

Secret History

This replaced another unrelated card late in the going. I tried a card that just increased your hand size for the rest of the game, but that would have required a playmat, and the set couldn't have any. This is the next best thing, and more interesting due to the Potion requirement. I tried a few variations that also attacked, but Scrying Pool ended up being the wordy extra attack I needed. As we shall see!
