This isnt to say you cant get some repeatable triggers throughout the game, but a lot of these tend to be tied into the other evergreen white-black strategy, aristocrats
Red for his firebending and rage, Black for his ambition and exile, and White for his eventual turn to justice and honor
If your creature survives, you've got reach plus a body
Im also not ignoring the fact that youre selling me a deck with absolute junkers like Poison Dart Frog and Floriferous Vinewall
If you were lucky enough to pull one, check its market price at TCGplayer as virtually all of The Brothers War retro artifacts are worth at least $350 including Jalum Tome, Perilous Vault, and Altar of Dementia
Two mana to destroy an artifact or enchantment is a solid rate for that effect, but pairing that with a protection spell is what puts it head and shoulders above a lot of the other cards in that same vein
