About the Game
ARTIFACT FOUNDRY
STREAMLINED GAMEPLAY We've taken the essence of Artifact and refined it based on community feedback: • All 3 lanes are in view at the same time. • Unified mana pool across lanes. • Dramatically reduced the degree to which randomness affects gameplay.
ALL-NEW CONTENT • Over 100 new cards, including over 20 new heroes! • Extended tutorial and playable demo scenarios for each hero. • New PvE content: Beginner campaign and standalone challenges. • New PvP mode: Hero Draft.
FREE AND OPEN Artifact Foundry is free to play. Cards are unlocked solely through gameplay, with no pack purchasing.
ARTIFACT CLASSIC
THE CARD GAME REIMAGINED A collaboration between legendary card game designer Richard Garfield and Valve, Artifact Classic is a digital card game that combines deeply strategic, competitive gameplay with the rich setting of Dota 2. The result is an immersive and visually stunning trading card game unlike any other.
STRATEGY UNBOUNDED Wield your deck across three lanes of combat, answer every move of your opponent with one of your own. Unlimited hand size. Unlimited number of units you control. Unlimited mana you can employ.
FREE AND OPEN Artifact Classic is free to play! Furthermore, all cards are now available to all players. If you paid for the original Artifact, your cards are promoted to Collector's Edition cards. Paid game event tickets have also been phased out.

Patch Notes 3/4/2021
This patch is a part of a larger update to both Artifact Classic and Artifact Foundry (formerly Artifact Beta 2.0). See the full announcement here and an explanation of Artifact Classic vs Artifact Foundry here. Economy All players now have access to all cards without the need to collect them. Cards that players have already collected have been converted into gold Collector's Edition cards. Card packs and tickets are no longer for sale. Prized with entry fees events have been removed. Players who were registered in prized events have received Collector's Edition packs equal to the first place payout. Players with unused tickets have received 1 Collector's Edition pack for each unused ticket. If you recycle excess Collector's Edition cards, you now receive 1 Collector's Edition pack rather than a ticket. Packs and tickets have been removed from the reward track for new players. New pla...

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32397832/87c4b7104dcdbace1635f083590087f50a0dabe7.png We are happy to announce that we are moving to the next phase of the Beta! The Beta for the original game started too late and was too short. We’ve decided to approach things a bit differently this time around by gradually inviting people to join us while we are still “Under Construction”. Here’s the updated road-map: Test boring stuff Trickle out invites, starting with players of the original release

Read full update on Steam ↗Artifact's update nerfed some expensive cards, so Valve is buying them back
Valve’s changed its tune when it comes to tweaking cards in Artifact. Today’s update brings with it some significant changes to cards like Axe, Artifact’s most expensive card, as well as new features, including account levels and skill ratings. While Valve previously subscribed to the idea that cards should never be altered aside from a few exceptions, its philosophy has shifted considerably. “Our conclusion was that embracing ongoing card balance for a digital game has a lot more upsides for the game as a whole,” reads the update post. “Once we shifted over to this new mindset, it became obvious to us that it was a more natural fit with how we tend to develop games. Starting with today's update, we will be taking an incremental approach to balancing, with the primary goal being to improve the gameplay quality over time.” Eight cards have been changed with this update, including sever...
Read full update on Steam ↗Artifact s first big update adds new modes and a neat chat wheel
The first big Artifact update is out, slapping new decks on the table and letting people chat while they use them. There are no new cards in Valve’s CCG, but fans of the Call To Arms mode – where everyone dukes it out with pre-constructed cards – might be pleased to see two new decks. That’s not my jam, but the new Pauper tournaments where expensive cards are forbidden just might be. I’m most intrigued by the new chat wheel though, which lets me tease opponents using my unit’s voices. We’ve also got bot gauntlets, leaderboards, colourblind support and more. None of that’s especially interesting to me, but hey – a “skill-based progression system” is coming next week! (more…)

Additionally, we've added leaderboard support to the Call to Arms gauntlet along two new decks: a damage-focused mono blue deck and an all-aggro all-the-time mono black deck. There are many other features in the update, as well as a ton of bug-fixes. Check out the patch notes and the update page for more details. This is the first major update of many for Artifact. While finishing this update we've also been working hard on the next update, that we expect to ship next week and which is focused on a skill-based progression system.

Fixes Fixed a crash that would happen sometimes when the game lost focus. Fixed a crash that would happen when hovering over cards or towers when a game ended. Fixed a Mac OS crash that would happen when running in high resolutions. Fixed some Market prices listed in the client being incorrect.

Small Update: Fixed a bug where the opponent's Deck Tracker was completely filled at game start in Gauntlet and casual matchmaking games. It is intended that you can see the opponent's full deck list during tournament games to reduce the value of scouting. You will also be able to see the full opponent's deck list in private lobbies. In other modes, the opponent's Deck Tracker will update based on what cards you've seen, and cards you know to be present (e.g., hero signature cards). Added the Deck Tracker keys to the key binding menu. Added an in-game comic viewer to the client. Updated the localization files.

In the meantime, we're happy to launch the first in a new series of Artifact comics, called Prelude. Artifact is more than just a Dota card game — it is a shared universe with a storyline that will deepen the history, expand the world, and change the fates of the heroes of both games. We'll also be releasing a second comic called Call to Arms on launch day, which sets the stage for a series of events that will transform the world of Dota forever. Don't forget to come back and check it out. We're also updating the beta, once this afternoon's stress tests have completed. Pre-loading will be available tonight! 11/26 Beta Update Features Added the ability to inspect the current deck lists during play using F2 and F3. Bug Fix...

There is a "Recycle Cards" tab accessible from the collection. Note that each card will currently show "N/A" where the market price would be until the market is open. Sort by market price will sort by mana cost until the market is open. You can now play bot matches and Call to Arms without claiming your starting package. This lets you try more of the game before you reach the point-of-no-return on refunds. Added an AI difficulty selector. Added some premade decks to the bot's deck selection options to make it easy to quickly practice against various opponent color combinations. Added a new cursor and cursor size settings control.

All attendees from this year's International and everyone who redeemed a beta key will find the game activated in their Steam account. Since lifting the NDA on the private beta yesterday, there's been an overwhelming amount of feedback on all parts of the game. Much of that feedback has been a clear signal that we underestimated how much interest and excitement the community has around certain features that weren't available in the initial beta build. We want to take a few minutes to talk about some of those missing features now: There was no way to do a draft event with friends. We didn't prioritize this play mode, and had planned to enable it sometime after release. We've heard your feedback: drafting with friends...
