Lords of the Earth: Artifacts

The artifacts in this set don't stand out with much of a theme. They do introduce sort of a new mechanic in their ability to create "Token Artifacts", and a good deal of them center around blue, wich makes them a little odd, in that each color does not have equal share of artifacts. One last twist is that a number of them that require activation costs to become creatures.

Please note: for the sake of the space on the page I have ommitted quotes and card numbers. If we decide to go ahead with these cards, I assume we will have to do a bit of adding and subtracting of cards to fit the state of the environment when they would be released, so the numbering will probably have to be totally redone then. For more thoughts on quotes and numbering, please see the section titled "Other Thoughts" off of the main page.
