If multiple β€œextra turn” effects resolve in the same turn, the most recently created turn will be taken first.

Wotc β€” November 19, 2021

If you somehow skip the extra turn Alchemist's Gambit gives you or skip that turn's end step, the delayed triggered ability never triggers. (If you cast Alchemist's Gambit by paying its cleave cost, the delayed triggered ability is never created at all.)

Wotc β€” November 19, 2021

Exiling Alchemist's Gambit happens as part of its resolution. If the spell is countered, it will go to the graveyard as normal.

Wotc β€” November 19, 2021

If you cast a spell for its cleave cost, that spell doesn't have any of the text in square brackets while it's on the stack.

Wotc β€” November 19, 2021

A cleave cost is an alternative cost that's paid instead of the spell's mana cost. Casting a spell for its cleave cost doesn't change the spell's mana value.

Wotc β€” November 19, 2021

You can't cast a spell for both its cleave cost and another alternative cost. For example, if an effect gives an Alchemist's Retrieval in your graveyard a flashback cost of {U}, you can't cast it from your graveyard for its cleave cost.

Wotc β€” November 19, 2021

If an effect allows you to β€œcast a spell without paying its mana cost,” you can't cast that spell for its cleave cost.
