Alchemy has always been cooked - for years I have said that it is a bad idea implemented poorly - but this is just a paper Magic card, and a very simple one at that.

But again, nothing about this card can only be done in the digital space. Why does this card exist as "non-paper" only? If you're going to make an online only set(a thing I think is a bad idea in the first place) at least do things you can't do irl.
I mostly dislike that we know the MTGA team lacks proper resources (from them saying it was the Furry Planeswalkers or the Face Commanders for Bloomburrow) and yet they are forced to waste time making crappy digital cards that don't need to exist.
As someone who plays only Brawl on Arena I’ve been on the “Alchemy sucks” train since it first came out and I’d kill for a version of Brawl that doesn’t have Alchemy cards if it.
Not ever just a simple card that shouldn’t be in their “digital only” format, this is virtually useless.
A food token, that can go in the trash.
A tapped treasure token, so that’s useless until next turn.
A 3/2 for 2 mana isn’t terrible, but it’s a fuckin artifact construct with crew 1…
…so unless you played something turn 1 that’s not gonna be used.
And it’s a sorcery??? So you can’t ever drop this on your opponent’s attack phase and make a 1/1 into the 3/2 to surprise one of your opponent’s attackers.
Who the fuck designed this? This is fuckin garbage.
Yeah but then they’d have to sell a paper card in certain regions with two women on it who might have kissed and Chris Cocks’ stocks might go down a quarter of a percent if they do that.
because people at various time have bought into Alchemy at one point or another and its cheaper for them to pump out poorly designed nonsense cards every set than to put the format to pasture, delete all the cards and make it right to those that have acquired cards in the past.
