There is only one copy of each Artifact; when a player takes an Artifact, the Artifact card is placed in front of them until another player takes it.

{{state|Lost in the Woods}}, from {{set|Nocturne}}, functions like an Artifact (and, according to [[Donald X.]], was the inspiration for them), though it is not technically labeled an Artifact itself. <!-- which makes sense, since it's not a thing (like an artifact), but a figure of speech (like a state of mind)!-->

|Text=Artifact was a better term, and I didn't feel like I had to stick to a poor precedent. Artifact helps convey that it's a thing only one player will have.

|Text=Artifacts didn't work out as well as I'd hoped; Flag Bearer worked great, and then the rest were a lot of trouble. In the end I also like Swashbuckler, but Border Guard and Treasurer were both artifact-free cards that were totally worthwhile, and now they're saddled with artifacts just to have artifacts somewhere.
For {{Set|Renaissance}}, the Artifacts did not work out so great. Maybe the best move there is to save them for the next set and see if I improve them. {{Card|Border Guard}} and {{Card|Treasurer}} were great with no Artifacts. They got more complex for no good reason. I like {{Card|Flag Bearer}} and {{Card|Swashbuckler}}; so, two cards, not really enough, save Artifacts for when I have more. Instead I crammed Artifacts onto helpless innocent cards. They have extra text and "read more cards" just to get more Artifacts into the set. It's not that they are {{Card|Vampire}}; it's that they were great cards already.
