Deck Description

One of the sleeper hits has been Undead Alchemist. With rotation removing infect/poison as parity checks against expensive decks, the Undead Alchemist takes on even greater importance. First, it exiles your opponent's creatures. They can't come back. Second, it creates a quick army of chump attackers/zombie breeders. I find paring the Undead Alchemist with tricks of the trade to be a very effective use of both.

The Mindshrieker can be used as a chump blocker or powerful attacker. Trepanation Blade is the wild card. It either hits for major damage or nothing.

Invisible Stalker provides you with some protection.

A surprisingly good card is Kraken Hatchling. It's 0/4 but is not a defender. This means you can equip a trepanation blade to it. It will survive a lot of common removal threats.

Draw power can be achieved with Divination.

Careful play with this deck makes it suitable for casual play in MTGO.

Sideboard is more of a maybeboard at this point since most people do not play "matches" in MTGO.

Deck discussion for United Alchemists

Man, why do you have Divination in the main when u have thought scour on your sideboard?
I would switch them..
You really should add some swamp creatures...there will be WAY more options,and a lot of zombies to destroy your opponent library,along with alchemist...
Your cards are too mana expensive too
And if you really want to MILL your opponent you should definitly add Mind sculpt and thought scour on the main,not on SB
Maybe adding Sands of delirium too..

Well..Just some ideas, do what you think its the best for you ;D

If you have some time,please comment on my deck too

I find that Fog Bank is easily removed. I like the card a lot, but with Pillar Flames, Stab Wound, Annihilating Fire around, Hover Barrier tends to stick around. Thought Scour is a good choice, and I put it in the sideboard to let people know it is an option as well. This deck is doing okay in casual play just for fun on MTGO and it is very affordable, unlike your deck, so I'll keep with it and make adjustments as need be.
