I’m glad they don’t do a ton of delayed triggers in paper magic. Tasteful offering seems like it’d be so easy to miss

Hey Guys! Alchemy Premier Draft is coming back to Arena, August 20–27! Its like a regular draft, but one of the slots is replaced by an Alchemy card - except last time we just got an extra slot, like the play boosters of old, which was very good (specially in MKM). Will it be the same this time u/WotC_Jay ? Anyways I do these limited reviews for fun and to remind people that this event exists.

Euru, Acorn Scrounger - Limited Rank: A

[[Chitterspitter]] was a bomb in MH2, and I expect it to be very strong here, as it will give you endless chump blockers that will eventually grow in size if you sacrifice enough fodder - which you shouldn't have any trouble finding, since BG is the color of food tokens.

The second ability of Euru is not that relevant (its the same trigger as the artifact except on combat damage instead of on the upkeep) UNLESS you are able to recur this guy to have several Chitterspitters in the field, which would allow you to put counters on all of them for one single sacrifice. Oh, by the way, Chitterspitter buffs ALL your squirrels, not just the tokens you create.

So yeah, total bomb. Should be easy to splash too, but make sure you can forage - without that trigger, this guy is useless.

Tasteful Offering - Limited Rank: C+

Its a draw two for two... if you can find a way to produce another piece of food to sacrifice (or a [[Fountainport Bell]]), and can forage both. If you cant forage and you have to pay the 2 to sacrifice them, then this is a little slow, and if your deck does not have many stuff to sacrifice then this is straight up bad, so do consider both.

Ultimately I think this will probably be an auto-include in BG and sort of a build-around in other black decks (would you like a slice of [[carrot cake]]?).
