Aphetto Alchemist

Creature — Human Wizard

Tap: Untap target artifact or creature.

Morph (Blue) (You may play this face down as a 2/2 creature for (3). Turn it face up any time for its morph cost.)

I like it. Very similar to my build.

A couple of quick thoughts: Aphetto Alchemist at worst untaps your biggest toughness guy for a second Phenax activation. He can also be pseudo-ramp if you have artifact mana. At best, he goes infinite with Illusionist's Bracers by targeting himself with the copied triggers.

As you have Undead Alchemist already, you get a similar effect from Zellix, Sanity Flayerfoil. Both of these work spectacularly with Altar of the Brood. The Altar is one of my favorite cards in my version.

As you have Grindstone, have you considered The Water Crystal? The crystal makes it so it looks at more cards, and if any 2 of the 6 match, the process repeats (refer to the updated wording on grindstone with the newer printing). The Crystal also works well with any effects that just mill an opponent for a single card, turning simple effects into quick clocks (Mesmeric Orb shines here).

Elrond, Moon-Reader is a card that I am waiting to get my hands on to add to my paper deck. It seems like quite consistent card draw.

Best of luck and happy brewing!

Minamo, School at Water's Edge utility land that taps for colored mana and enters untapped

Manifold Key strictly better Voltaic Key (both are OK)

Aphetto Alchemist & Voltaic Servant cheap repeatable free untappers

For tapping, obviously keep an eye on the Planets and cheaper Spacecraft as they use counters and can give value. (Only at sorcery speed tho.) Scryfall link

Vehicles for crew-tapping whenever:

Mothdust Changeling is pretty much the same as Voyager Glidecar

Ahhh, good to know! Ok, so each encore activation links the created tokens to the same sacrifice event... that makes sense, but I hadn't realized that before. That being said, with multiple encored creatures creating multiple groups of tokens that all get sacrificed at the beginning of the end step, do I still have the option to rearrange the order of which creature is sacrificed when, or does each group of tokens all get put on the stack together one after another, then the next chosen group, etc? Like with the example above, can I alternate between Aphetto Alchemist and Seer of Stolen Sight triggers on the stack? Or is it simply that one group goes on the stack and then the next?

Since all the Aphetto Alchemists and all the Seer of Stolen Sights are encored and being sacrificed simultaneously, all six sacrifices will be seen as just one event to each Seer, correct? And thank you for the help, this one apparently still has me slightly confused and still learning.

With the way Encore works, the Aphetto Alchemist copies get sacrificed at the same time. Each Seer of Stolen Sight will only trigger once for the event, not three times each.

Here are the detailed rules for Encore. Note that they don't say the copies gain "sacrifice [this] at ...", rather it's a single delayed triggered ability that instructs you to sacrifice all of them.

702.141. Encore
702.141a Encore is an activated ability that functions while the card with encore is in a graveyard. “Encore [cost]” means “[Cost], Exile this card from your graveyard: For each opponent, create a token that’s a copy of this card that attacks that opponent this turn if able. The tokens gain haste. Sacrifice them at the beginning of the next end step. Activate only as a sorcery.”

I know this will be a point of contention at the kitchen table, so some preemptive clarity on the matter is in order, plus I'm only 95% how it should turn out. Let's say Araumi of the Dead Tide let me encore Aphetto Alchemist and Seer of Stolen Sight. At the beginning of my end step they all go on the stack to be sacrificed in any order I want, and we'll say the Aphetto Alchemists are sacrificed first. My assumption is that each Seer of Stolen Sight will trigger separately for each creature sacrifice as it resolves on the stack. The other possibility is that since Seer of Stolen Sight says "one or more" it could be that they only trigger once (each), since all the creatures being sacrificed are leaving the battlefield "at the same time". I know a few of my friends will argue this. I would a month ago too. But now I'm pretty sure that as each creature sac resolves on the stack, each other creature triggers appropriately putting triggers on the stack, which resolve before the next encore sacrifice trigger resolves. So in this case, the "or more" portion won't make any difference. Correct...?

TIA!

yo, i think ur turn 1 combo doesn't work because Lightning Greaves gives Aphetto Alchemist shroud so its ability can't target itself. Thousand-Year Elixir or Swiftfoot Boots would work but they cost more which borks the combo.
