Midweek Magic: Timeless with mostly Alchemy cards - How to get the rewards even with a smaller set!
I think the whole reason we’re playing Alchemy is so we don’t have to deal with jokers who want to be able to combine the best of the tens of thousands of cards they have. Can we still get the rewards?
How will we take on their card variety advantage? Speed. My strategy is to let them play as few of their overpowered cards as they can and we’ll outdraw them occasionally, too.
I start out with how I put together the deck, but if you’re more interested in the gameplay, feel free to use the chapters in the timeline or description to see what interests you most.
I started with my fastest deck, the picnic ruiner that can hit for 18 on turn 3 if left unchecked, and see what we can do to improve it even further.
