It should probably be "Discard this artifact to..." otherwise it's way OP.

I agree with above.

Love the idea, but needs some fine tuning. I'd recommend:

Ruins of Babel
Fortress
-Plays onto a different Fortress-
"You may Discard this card at any time to Discard the fortress it is on. Owner of that fortress may shuffle all cards in his Land of Bondage."

I was trying to  get the ability to choose to shuffle your lost souls to your deck (but having to discard your own fortress) or discarding an opponent's fortress (but they get to shuffle their lost souls).

I didn't quite catch that at 1st. I like it.

The new one is okay, but I wouldn't expect Some ruins to destroy a Fort...

Maybe the title should be named to The Crumbling of Babel...

I agree w/ that. That would be a better explaination of why it drops a fort.
