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. 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. 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.
