The Artificer
Has the ability to only get items you have "purchased" as guild expansion, primary starting skills is magic, draw cards and heal.
A weak character due to a poor starting deck, compared to other classes of this tier. The lack of a quick attack really hurts this class. Fantastic once it gets off the ground, but has many false starts.

Hero Strategy
The Artificer is somewhat weak compared to the other 3rd tier classes, it falls short on many areas and is on par with the 2nd tier classes such as Ranger, Barbarian and etc.
The Artificer can never find common loot, common loot is the loot which appears in the beginning of the game, so you'll ever only find the loot in which you have purchased, this is very good if you have purchased only a few "loot" options and chose a specific branch, however this is extremely bad if you have bought many options of "Loot" since it will be heavily RNG based.
The Artificer's trait only shows its worth when you have a limit on the number of turns, but even other classes provide better benefits than the Artificer such as the Barbarian.
