|Text=There are strange things going on in your basement laboratories. They keep calling up for more barrels of quicksilver, or bits of your hair. It's all in the name of progress. They're looking for a way to turn lead into gold, or at least into something better than lead. That lead had just been too good of a bargain to pass up; you didn't think where you would put all the lead or what you will do with the lead. Well that will all be sorted out. They're also looking for a universal solvent. If they manage that one, you will take whatever they use to hold it in and build a castle out of it. A castle that can't be dissolved! Now that's progress. | |Text=There are strange things going on in your basement laboratories. They keep calling up for more barrels of quicksilver, or bits of your hair.

Some people hate {{Card|Familiar}}. {{Card|Apprentice}} is great but has a potion clause just to fit in, and I took it from [[Hinterlands]] to have another good card, and man, [[Hinterlands]] would have loved it.

My preferred fix for Alchemy is to do new version s of the best ideas in other sets, and then live with RGG keeping it in print, because what can you do, there will always be people who want it. |
