Archeologist's Obsession
1p Exiles + 1p GI
3 cost
Unique Mission- Artificial

Mission: Whenever you deploy a Demon or Artificial card from anywhere, at the end of the turn, draw 3 cards, then discard all non-Artifact cards drawn this way.

Completion 5: Transform into a Temple of the Inspired

"dig! DIG! I can smell it! It's so close! I think...?"

Temple of the Inspired
1p Exiles + 1p GI
Unique Location- Artificial

When Temple of the Inspired leaves the deployed area, transform it into Archeologist's Obsession and return it to your hand.

Whenever you deploy an Artifact card, deal 5 damage to up to 3 targets including: characters on the battlefield or your opponent's fortress. Characters dealt damage this way become exhausted.

Pay 4: Return target Artifact to its owner's hand.

Here lies the greatest inventions of our past. Contributions are always welcome.

---

Temple of the Inspired deals 5 damage to up to 3 targets. So you cannot choose the same target more than once, each target takes maximum 5 damage each time this triggers. Targets can be characters on the battlefield or your opponents fortress.

You can return artifacts to their owner's hand to counter their activations.

The mission completion only ticks maximum once per turn

[Number11]

Cultural Artifact Center
Factionless - Uncommon
4 cost
Location

While in play a new Artifact Center Zone is added that you can move artifacts to and from.

On the turn Cultural Artifact Center is played all artifacts in the Artifact Center Zone have untouchable.

Any subsequent turn when Artifacts are targeted the player targeting the card has to select between Support or Artifact Center Zone and if the Artifact is not in the selected Zone, the Artifact is unaffected by the targeted effect.

At the end of the turn gain X morale where X is the number of Artifacts in the Artifact Center Zone.

When the Artifact Center Zone is removed from the game all Artifacts in the Zone are moved to the Support Zone.

As it is worded "While in play a new Artifact Center Zone is added", if the card is destroyed or the text of the card is removed from it then the Artifact Center Zone gets removed from the game.

[NTL]

In my humble opinion, there is no need for new zone: if the point of it is just protection of artifacts - make all artifacts untouchable while this location is in play (just example, but that way you avoid long text which is consequence of adding new zone and explaining effects connected).
Another thing: I feel there is no need to decrease potential morale gain - it would be already small and with little impact even without dividing by 2.

I will just remove the dividing. As for the new zone, there is a big difference between the zone and giving it untouchable. It may be the same for the first turn, but as for the subsequent turns it becomes a mind game like with death ray where you have to predict the opponent on whether he will put the character on the battlefield or in the support zone.

So for the following turns it is still possible to land artifact removal if you can predict the zone that the other player will put it in. Also as the Artifact Center Zone gives additional benefit from placing artifacts in the zone, there will be more bias for placing the artifacts there. The player will need to make the deliberate decision to place it in the support zone to avoid removal and that will give rise to interesting mind games.

[Number11]

Reworded some things on my card so that it is more clear that you can move artifacts to the new zone the turn the location is played in order to get untouchable for that turn.

Not frequent purity combination that needs specific deck with artifacts and chars with exile cost.
Strong effect, but needs few turns, it all fits well together - veery good idea.

I already stated my concerns earlier - it is not like idea of new zone is bad itself, but feels like a waste just for what your entry allows, it would need rules descibed somewhere else in IW rules (so there will be enough place on card left for rest) and made few more cards that can benefit from that new zone - but normal CDC hardly allows for this.
