So the $20 up front a the smallest cost of the game by far.

This thing will require hundreds of $$$ expenditure in in-game stuff (cards mostly) to be anything remotely competitive on multiplayer.
They will have the money to upgrade their hardware too.

I've never played M:tG, Hearthstone, or anything similar. But I have a few deck-based fantasy games with physical cards at home that are fun.
(Edit: But if this particular game is 'pay to not suck', then I am not interested.)

I thought artifacts and dinosaurs went hand in hand.
Hearthstone has set the bar. It showed that visual effects are important for both players and people watching (streaming/e-sports). Valve wants Artifact to rival or beat Hearthstone, something that M:tG online and Gwent have not been able to accomplish. Artifact looks like it has high texture quality, but lacks in the 2D artist department ATM.
Artifact is developed using Source 2 engine, hence I assume Valve needs to optimize the new parts that were added during development of this game and not the entire engine. PlayRust is the best example up to date where requirements outweighs overall visual quality, not all bad for PlayRust though as it has some of the best 3D sound and global lighting effects I have seen. It looks like Artifact does much better in this regard (requirements/visual-quality).
Is this the first game using Source 2 that supports Android or iOS?
I like card games, but stopped playing M:tG and Hearthstone due to the upkeep and lack of local popularity.
