This little citizen rewards careful planning by keeping your hand full
Like most Magic: The Gathering cards, the value of Artifact Ward depends on a few consistent factors: its rarity, the printing and finish (regular or foil), its physical condition, and the set it was printed in (Antiquities)
If youre building a deck thats all about casting creatures, Beast Whisperer, a four-mana 2/3 creature, is going to be incredible for you
Make sure you have contingency plans in place, such as board wipes or protective spells, to handle nasty surprises and an ever-shifting board
In no Reserved List ever land, some players, collectors, and small shops would have lost money when their cards were reprintedbut it probably wouldnt have been much worse for them than it was for us when Force of Will, Wasteland, and Mana Drain showed up in Masters sets
Only four cards in the set went gold, making this a valuable edition to any collection
