Here’s how you get cards in Artifact

While we've known for a while that Valve's coming card game, Artifact, would make use of the Steam marketplace to enable card trades, we've been missing the details. At PAX West earlier today, we asked programmer Jeep Barnett and lead designer Richard Garfield (creator of Magic: The Gathering, arguably the biggest trading card game ever) to fill in the blanks. In summary, you'll be able to list individual cards on the Steam marketplace, and buy them from other players. This is in addition to buying card packs. "Any card that you buy, or get when you buy the game, you can sell on the market at whatever price you want," Barnett says. "And any cards that you want to put in your deck, you can buy individually from other players on the market, or you can buy packs and open those." Barnett was keen to make the point that all cards within the game will retain value over time. "Magic has a history of this. The cards that you're playing with retain value, and in the coming years they'll still have that value even as additional sets come out."
