Hmm... raise card / activation cost maybe?

I mean, mindgate can grab anything thats in the opposing deck... this just makes a spell card for you. No creatures or permanents... and you have to sac a creature you own to do it.

Also, is it balanced compared with Alchemist?

Hmm... at present, it's lower cost. no damage output but a little less vulnerable since it's a permanent... I figure that balances out.
as for ability... The spell is guaranteed to be castable, but requires a creature sacrifice.

I think it's probably a little too low on the cast cost. It's hard to say with ability though... ya you are guaranteed a castable spell... but that still doesn't guarantee that it is useful.
