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 the 2024 set Foundations Jumpstart, a product designed to serve as an accessible entry point for new Magic: The Gathering players. The set focuses on foundational gameplay mechanics and recurring tropes within the game's fantasy multiverse, with this card specifically leaning into the classic theme of alchemical transmutation and magical support.
The artwork was commissioned from artist Cristi Balanescu, who has contributed extensively to the game's aesthetic identity. In this piece, Balanescu focuses on the atmospheric interplay of light and magical reagents, aiming to capture the precise moment an alchemist imbues an object with arcane potential. The card functions as a versatile common, designed to provide players with tactical flexibility during gameplay, and was well-received for its clean, illustrative style.
