Can I Have an Aphetto Alchemist equipped with Illusionist's Bracers use its second activation of its ability target itself?

It is a simple infinite combo starter if you have any tap abilities for no mana cost, and can infinite mana combo with any land.

No, the source of a copied ability is the same as the source of the original. Fatestitcher specifies "another" so it can not target itself.

Aphetto Alchemist's ability just states "target artifact or creature." Because the ability doesn't specify "another target . . .," Aphetto Alchemist is a legal target for its own ability.

Because Fatestitcher's ability does specify "another target," its ability (or copies of it) can't target Fatestitcher.
