Egypt was meant to keep Given Over to Egypt, that placed deck Discarder, and Shallow Grave from Discarding themselves at the cost of not being able to use Unknown Nation.

I realize, and I think 3 deck discards per turn with all 3 artifacts up is OP if they don't discard themselves.
Not being able to use UK nation isn't a very big cost.

With all the deck protection being used without deck discard being viable, I think it'd be fine to give it a shot in the arm. Playtesting would determine if it was too powerful.
