Artifice Craft

Artifice Craft Icon

The Artifice craft is one of six playable card decks in Glyphmaster's Gateway. It is grey and prefers to use deception, trickery, and manipulation to accomplish its aims. Artifice excels at abilities and drawing cards, and does not do so well with attack. Artifice is most compatible with sorcery, divine, and champion, but is incompatible mostly with engineering and hinter crafts. Total power so far: 117.
