Maybe I'm not fully comprehending the rules, but I tried a few times and really struggled to get through his defenses.\n\nI like the idea of the Artist drawing on your cards to give them new abilities!  It seems like I'm just incentivized to play my entire hand whenever I can though, otherwise I'll be at a disadvantage.\n\nNeat idea though!
