What it does
Target creature gets +1/+1 and gains your choice of deathtouch or lifelink until end of turn. (Any amount of damage a creature with deathtouch deals to a creature is enough to destroy it. Damage dealt by a creature with lifelink also causes its controller to gain that much life.)

Where it came from
Alchemist's Gift was released in 2020 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2021. This set was designed as a bridge for players of all experience levels, focusing on thematic archetypes that highlight the game's rich history while introducing mechanically accessible tools for standard play. As a common-rarity instant, the card serves as a versatile utility piece, fitting into the set's broader goal of providing functional support for blue-aligned decks that prioritize tempo and interaction.
The artwork was commissioned from Cristi Balanescu, a frequent contributor to the game known for his ability to blend fantasy realism with a sense of quiet magic. In this piece, Balanescu sought to visualize the fleeting nature of magical infusion, capturing the transmutation of a simple vial into a source of arcane power. The illustration was well-received for its atmospheric lighting and clarity, successfully conveying the card's function as a temporary, reactive resource within the game's complex mechanical ecosystem.
