Quick Burn, Cleaner Board
Alchemist's Greeting is a straightforward piece of removal for red decks that need a reliable out to medium threats. The retro frame art shows an alchemist firing a concentrated jet of flame, which matches the card intent. Cast for {4}{R} to deal 4 damage to target creature, it trades cleanly with most midrange creatures and can be slotted as a late game finisher against boards that outscale your early burn.
The printed Madness cost of {1}{R} gives this sorcery a second role in aggressive builds that can dump it from hand then cast it for a cheaper rate. Use it to force unfavorable blocks, finish off a damaged blocker, or pivot to reach a creature that survives cheaper burn. Players familiar with Innistrad Remastered will recognize this as flexible removal that rewards hand manipulation and sacrificial plays. Consider it a compact option for both budget and competitive red lists.
