Alchemy Ladder Deck Showcase Decklists and Recommendations
Decklists in this Article

This week’s Midweek Magic event format is Alchemy – but this time, MTG Arena is providing you with five “competitive” Alchemy decks you might find on the ladder and you can choose and play with any of them. We have our recommendations on what to play if you just want the quick wins (not all decks are made equal), which you can check out below along with the decklists themselves.

There’s actually not much information out there on Alchemy as one of the least played formats on MTG Arena. With Alchemy: Eldraine just released, we have just updated our Alchemy Meta Tier Lists for the first time since its rotation, so be sure to check that out if you are interested in the format and want to try out some (better) decks.

Alchemy Ladder Deck Showcase Decklists and Recommendations

My pick out of these decks is the Five-Color Legends deck since it’s by far the closest to the top tier version of the deck whereas all of the other lists are running a lot of suboptimal cards.

This strategy has two main angles of attack in both Jodah, the Unifier as a top end anthem affect that also snowballs advantage in your favor, and the Ratadrabik of Urborg combo which is looking to assemble Ratadrabik of Urborg, Boromir, Warden of the Tower, and Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim for infinite drain.

You also have great mana fixing in the form of Delighted Halfling, Plaza of Heroes, and Great Hall of the Citadel, as well as ramp options such as Crucias, Titan of the Waves and Gwenna, Eyes of Gaea which can cast your top end threats ahead of curve.

My main concern with this deck is that it is quite vulnerable to Sunfall which is run as a 4 of in the Azorius Control deck, but even so this is by far the most optimal of the lists presented, it attacks from a lot of different angles, and is a ton of fun to play as well so is definitely my pick of the bunch.
