While I was looking through my artifact cards I was thinking to myself , how many different artifacts and curse cards can a player possibly have active all in one territory?  This was just a fun thought of mine  

So here is one way to do so. 

Have the following cards in your deck:

Ezekiel with Iron pan

Any good high priest with Priestly breastplate (Priests version)

Solomon's temple with book of the covenant and 2 different covenants on it

 Aeropagus with household Idols

High Priest's Palace with unholy writ

Pithom with a gold curse

A magician with magic charms on it

Simon of Cyrene with Cross beams of the Cross

Chorazin site with a curse card on it for one turn

Damascus site (clay) + gray Syrian EC with  1 gray curse on the site.

artifact pile with any artifact.

That is 13 different artifacts all active in one player's territory 


Pretty sure a player can do this in a type 1 game and it does not break any deck building requirement rules etc.

Is there anything else I could have missed that a player can legally have active in their territory in a type 1 game?

Any thoughts on this?

You're good on everything except Priestly Breastplate - Because of the unique wording, Breastplate uses your singular activation for the phase - So you could only have 12. You could activate Urim & Thummin too

Altar of Dagon in Temple of Dagon.

That puts the current max up to 14. Any other ones people can think of?

I'm pretty sure John Earley is trying to figure out a way to make his card creation a Musician, Prophet, Samaritan that can continually recur and hold Samaritan Water Jar.

You could have multiple Damascus and Chorazin sites in play to hold more curses if you have 150 cards in your deck.
