Artifacts
Artifacts are permanent. Mutations are drafted inside a run and lost when it ends; artifacts are bought once with ♣ clubs and apply to every run after. Each has ranks, and later ranks cost more — so no single artifact can be the whole hoard. 6 artifacts · ♣1135 for every rank
You bank ♣2 per duel you clear. That rate is not hand-picked: it is derived so a new player reaches their first artifact (♣40) in about 4 runs, assuming roughly 5 clears a run.
