Artifact

Artifact is a digital card game set in the world of Dota 2, with two versions: Artifact Foundry and Artifact Classic. Both center on strategic card play across three lanes of combat.

Artifact Foundry

Foundry puts all three lanes in view at the same time and uses a unified mana pool across them. It also reduces the effect of randomness on gameplay compared with the original design.

The game adds over 100 cards, including over 20 new heroes, along with an extended tutorial and playable demo scenarios for each hero. Its PvE content includes a beginner campaign and standalone challenges, while Hero Draft is a PvP mode. Cards are unlocked through gameplay, with no pack purchasing.

Artifact Classic

Classic is a competitive card game created in collaboration with card game designer Richard Garfield and Valve. You use a deck across three lanes of combat, responding to your opponent's moves. The game has no limit on hand size, the number of units you control or the mana you can employ.

All cards are available to all players. Cards owned by players who paid for the original Artifact are promoted to Collector's Edition cards, and paid game event tickets have been phased out.
