Masterwork Artifact Ω Strategy
Artifact Portalcraft centers on building and evolving Artifacts. Use exact copy Artifact cards to destroy threats, burn, restore resources, and shape the board, all the while steering your deck toward the endgame goal: completing Masterwork Artifact Ω.
How to Get Masterwork Artifact Ω

- Use Artifact Recharge ⇒ Obtain two Gears of Ambition
- Fuse Artifact Cards with the Gears ⇒ to create 3-Cost Artifacts
- Fuse additional Artifact cards into the 3‑cost Artifacts to upgrade them into one of three 5‑cost Ominous Artifacts
- Combine the three 5‑cost Ominous Artifacts to form Masterwork Artifact Ω
Obtain Two Gears
Portalcraft runs cards that add Gear of Ambition and Gear of Remembrance to your hand. Play these to kick off the fusion sequence.
Create 3‑Cost Artifacts
Fusing an Artifact Amulet with a gear yields a specific 3‑cost Artifact:
Gear of Ambition → Striker Artifact
Gear of Remembrance → Fortifier Artifact
Fuse 3-Cost Artifacts ⇒ Transform into 5-Cost Ominous Artifacts
Fusing Artifact cards into Striker or Fortifier Artifacts upgrades them into Ominous Artifact α, β, or γ, determined by the total cost of the fused cards.
Cost of Transformation
| Total Cost | Card Transforms Into |
|---|---|
| 1 | Ominous Artifact α |
| 2 | Ominous Artifact β |
| 3 or more | Ominous Artifact γ |
Gather and Fuse the 3 types of 5-Cost Artifacts ⇒ Transform into Masterwork Artifact Ω
.
Once you have all three 5‑cost Ominous Artifacts, fuse them and combine the other two types with Ominous Artifact α to evolve it into Masterwork Artifact Ω.
Artifact Portalcraft Deck - How to Play
Collect Gears in the Early Game

Play cards that add low‑cost Gears to your hand early so you have the necessary cards to craft Ominous Artifacts for the midgame.
Apply Pressure with Copied Artifacts in the Mid-Game

Keep collecting Gear cards and use Alouette, Doomwright Ward to get copies of Ominous Artifacts onto the board. You can also consider granting abilities to your Artifacts using Carnelia, Ember of Darkness.
Use Ominous Artifact γ Against Wide Decks

Create Ominous Artifact γ to clear wide opponent boards with its AoE or regain board control if your opponent floods the field.
Attack with Ominous Artifact β if You Can Finish Them Off

If your hand contains multiple damage sources and you notice that the opponent lacks cards to be able to sustain, you can use Ominous Artifact β to push for lethal, but keep in mind that this can be risky because it may leave you short of Gears needed to craft γ.
Maintain Your Defense with α Against Aggro

Against aggressive decks, create Ominous Artifact α to restore defense each turn and stabilize your own board until you can take over in the late stages of the game.
Fuse Gears Based on Your Opponent's Plays

Never fuse Gears prematurely. Instead, wait to see how your opponent develops his side of the field so you can craft the Artifact that can counter them.
Adaptively Play Copied Artifacts

In the late game, you fight by creating Exact Copies of the Ominous Artifacts you've collected and playing them to the field, depending on the situation. Use α if you want to maintain high defense, β to push the opponent into lethal range, and γ to clear the opponent's field. Your win rate will increase if you can use the right Artifact for your game plan.
Increase Your Damage with Beelzebub

When you play Beelzebub, Supreme King, the damage you can deal with Orchis, Newfound Heart or β increases significantly. Play him aggressively in matchups that aim for a long game and create a winning situation for yourself.
Finish with Masterwork Artifact or Orchis

If you're able to assemble the parts by turn 10, go for lethal with Masterwork Artifact Ω; after playing Beelzebub, Orchis, Newfound Heart can sometimes outdamage the Artifact route, so be ready to finish with either game plan.
Mulligan Guide for the Artifact Portalcraft
Keep Alouette in Your Opening Hand

Alouette, Doomwright Ward is a valuable keep. This card's fanfare Add a Gear of Ambition and Gear of Remembrance to your hand while its evolve ability allows her to summon an exact copy of an Artifact follower from your hand.
Keep Low-Cost Gear Recovery Cards
Keep one to two low‑cost Gear recovery cards such as Hunter, Carnelia, Isaac, or Miriam to regain Gear while preserving your early game board.
