Border Guard is an Action card from Renaissance. It is a cantrip that lets you choose one of the top 2 cards of your deck to draw. If all the cards you choose between are Actions, you can get one of its corresponding Artifacts, the Lantern or the Horn. Both Artifacts extend the abilities of Border Guard.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- When you play a Border Guard and do not have the Lantern, you reveal the top 2 cards of your deck, choose one and put it into your hand, and discard the other; then if they were both Action cards, you take the Lantern or the Horn.
- When you play a Border Guard and have the Lantern, you reveal the top 3 cards of your deck, choose one and put it into your hand, and discard the rest; then if all three were Action cards, you may take the Horn.
- If you reveal fewer than 2 cards, or fewer than 3 cards when you have the Lantern, you don't take an Artifact.
- Both the Horn and the Lantern function the turn you get them.
Strategy
Taking the Lantern makes taking the Horn more difficult, so when given the choice, it may be preferable to take the Horn first.

Border Guard is the only Kingdom card that lets you take two Artifacts.
Secret history
For a while this had no Artifacts. I wanted more Artifacts and saw that I could add one here, which was Lantern. Then I needed to put another Artifact somewhere and saw that this could have two Artifacts, so it got Horn.
