About Battletide Alchemist

Battletide Alchemist, Creature — kithkin cleric, designed by Steve Prescott first released in Feb, 2008 in the set Morningtide. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 1.16.

A deck focused on clerics would benefit from including Battletide Alchemist, as it can help prevent damage to players based on the number of clerics controlled. While it can be a useful defensive option in certain situations, there are potentially better cards like Soul Warden or Soul's Attendant that provide more consistent and immediate value in cleric-based decks. Whether Battletide Alchemist should see play ultimately depends on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck it's included in.
