    That's a pretty neat feature, I don't know if any other game has done something like that. It's obviously something you're able to do when playing a card game in real life with a friend, so it's...

    You can challenge a friend and borrow any deck that they share from their collection.

    I'm also glad to see a mention of "phantom draft", a form of drafting where you don't keep the cards afterwards (so it's usually a lot cheaper to enter).

      Hearthstone (somewhat?) recently included it as a feature.

    They have moved the FAQ to a different page. The new FAQ is here. https://playartifact.com/news/1721959164054855755/

      Nice to see that Phantom Draft only costs 1 ticket, that's nice and makes it very easy to play Draft cheaply, even though you don't get to keep the cards afterwards. The cost/prizes for "Keeper Draft" (where you do keep the cards) seem pretty bad though. 5 packs and 2 tickets to enter, and even the top prize only gives 3 packs + 2 tickets. You need to get the top prize and draft at least $4 worth of cards just to break even.

    Tried this out this weekend, with about 10 hours played since I got it. The game is not for me.
