I think we can all agree that Alchemy sucks.
Another thing we can all agree on is that the reason Alchemy sucks so hard is that potions suck.
In lieu of a better name, I am making this set that extends Alchemy with modern mechanics and hopefully makes it less sucky.
So without further ado, here are the first three cards.
Assistant
$1P Night
Put a card from play on top of your deck for each Potion in play.
Is your deck cluttered with useless Potions? Hire a lab assistant to keep things in order!
Crucible
$2P Action
Trash a Treasure from your hand costing up to $5. +1 Card per 1$ it costs.
A Treasure TFB that works handsomely with potions. Stock up on potions to get Crucibles and other P cost cards, and then get rid of them when they're no longer needed.
Reagent
P Treasure
P
+1 Buy
-
This turn, when you discard a Potion from play, you may exchange it for a Reagent.
Similar line of thought to Crucible, have your potions provide +Buy and make them somewhat less useless.
That's all. See you next week!
