Alchemy: Dominaria brings 30 exclusive cards to the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering Arena's Alchemy and Historic formats. While this might not seem like a lot of additions at first glance, appearances can often be deceiving. In this case, many of the added cards have ways of conjuring other powerful cards into your hand or onto the battlefield. Some of these conjured cards cannot be played by any other means, including the notorious Power Nine.
Beyond powerful conjure card additions, Alchemy: Dominaria brings a notable 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:tribal theme that will enhance a number of viable tribes in the Alchemy and Historic formats including Merfolk, Fungus, Dragons, and more. Without further ado, let's take a look at the most exciting among them.
8 Slimefo🐲ot, Thallid Transplant
Slimefoot is the first of the tribal bonus cards from Alchemy: Dominaria. He brings support for a rather new tribe, and one that has yet to see really any success on the constructed stage: Fungus creatures. Slimefoot conjures another Fungus creature card into your hand each time you play a Swamp or Forest, which will add up to a lot of card advantage if he's not removed.
Fungus cards among the pool of cards conjured include creatures like Swarm Shambler and Deathbonnet Sprout as well as instants and sorceries like Spore Swarm. The randomness of the conjure effect unfortunately doesn't make it a very reliable ability, but card advantage is card advantage.
7 Goblin Mor🐷ale Sergeant
In contrast to Fungi, Goblins are the most storied tribe in all of Magic history. Nonetheless, it would be strange to not see more support for the tribe from the original Magic setting of Do🅷minaria.
Goblin Morale Sergeant makes use of the enlist mechanic alongside haste to conjure duplicates of creatures it enlists into 💙the top five cards of your library.
Haste and enlist are especially good together in this case because you can take advantage of the Sergeant's conjure ability the turn it enters the battlefield as long as you have another creature without summoning sickness on the battlefield. Morale Sergeant also buffs the duplicate it creates by increasing its attack and giving it haste which could be very relevant if you manage to copy a creature like Krenko, Mob Boss.
6 Vodalian Tꦛide Mage
Merfolk also see support from this release in the form of Vodalian Tide Mage. This is another tribal conjure card, but it's capable of conjuring a ton of creatures directly into your hand as long as they can deal combat damage.
This might not seem like a huge deal at first glance, but supplying your hand with multiple copies of Vodalian Hexcatcher, for example, will quickly make a game nigh-unwinnable for your opponent. That being said, Merfolk aren't especially good at going wide, so it might be more difficult to reliably trigger Tide Mage's ability than you would like.
5 S♎pellchain Scatter 🎃
Duplicate spe🎃lls normally come with the restriction of only allowing you to cast the duplicated spell until the end of t💙he current turn. Spellchain Scatter gets around this restriction if you use its one blue kicker cost when you cast it.
The incredibly cheap cost of this instant makes it great to cast in both modes, whether you need an extra lightning strike this very turn or want to copy a huge spell like Magma Opus to bury your opponent in superior resources. It wouldn't be surprising to see this card making an appearance in a UR (blue/red) spells matter deck soon.
4 Oracle Of The Alpha ༒
Speaking of blue, Oracle of the Alpha is probably the most controversial card to be released in the set. This is thanks to its ability to conjure the Power Nine into your library as an enter the battlefield trigger. In case you don't know, the Power Nine is the name for the most powerful Magic cards ever printed.
The Nine is composed of artifacts known as Mox's which are free to cast and supply mana, the one and only Black Lotus, and undisputably broken blue spells such as Time Walk, Ancestral Recall, and Timetwister.
While these cards might be broken, the fact that they're conjured into your library means you still need to draw them in order to take advantage of their power. As a result, it's unlikely that Oracle sees much play unless/until someone figures out a reliable way to tutor up the conjured cards quickly.
3 🤪 Darigaaz, Shivan Champion
Darigaaz, Shivan Champion is a powerful new bomb for Dragon decks which supplies card advantage in the form of eggs that appear in exile. The eggs enter exile with three 🥂egg counters on them and one is removed at♈ the beginning of each of your upkeeps. Once all egg counters are removed, the conjured card enters the battlefield from exile.
The conjured cards consist of a number of Dragons in the Rakdos (black/red) colors including cards like Manaform Hellkite, Bone Dragon, Terror of the Peaks,ꦿ and Immersturm Predator. Darigaaz does make for a compelling win condition, but the eggs he conjures take a whole three turns before they enter the battlefield.
All things considered, he might be a bit too slow in his current state to make the cut of Alchemy Dragon tribal decks, but only time will ಌtell.
2 Darigaaz's Whelp
Where Darigaaz may fail, his Whelp will certainly succeඣed. This flying baby Dra🌟gon makes for an aggressive threat on its own while also providing every Dragon you draw while it remains on the battlefield with additional buffs to their power and toughness.
Even better, you can cast Darigaaz's Whelp for its kicker cost to seek a Dragon card from your library and place it directly into your hand. Now that's the kind of quick, reliable card advantage we like to see.
1 Pull Of The Mist Moon 🦩
A kicker cost that supplies you with an additional threat is good, but Pull of the Mist Moon does one better by coming with a kic🥀ker cost that makes a nonland permanent card in your hand exile a nonland permanent when it enters the battlefield.
Considering that Pull of the Mist Moon has the same unconditional 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:removal spell effect when it enters the battlefield 🍸on its own, this card pro🥀vides unconditional nonland permanent removal up to twice for the cost of five mana value.
Granted, you do need to have another nonland permanent in your hand to target with Pull of the Mist Moon's kicker effect, but white decks are rarely short on nonland permanents, especially when you take into account the fact that a ton of white removal comes in the form of enchantments.
Mak🉐e no mistake, Pull of the Mist Moon is going to have a tremendous presence in Alch꧙emy, and you should expect to encounter it in any deck playing Azorius (blue/white) colors.
