Alchemize really is just not good enough, even if it can be good in the long run, it just is not enough to be A-tier, Same with Replica, whilst that strategy is really good, (didnt even think of this strat, so good job, this is a really great idea for a strat :D) it really just makes it even more solid that Chip is B-tier, as you need to specifically build around it to get it to work properly.
