Covenant Keepers gone bad?

Can Covenant Keepers search out Covenant with Death (Curse)?

Covenant Keepers: "You may search draw pile for a Covenant, or an Artifact with 'Covenant' in the title, and add it to hand"

I feel like this may have been ruled to the contrary before, but I'm not sure...

Unless it was overruled somewhere, by the current rules it could.  CwD is an artifact at face value, and has "Covenant" in the title.  It should be searchable.

CwD is a curse at face value, not an artifact. It can become an artifact when played, but is not an artifact in the deck.

Curses are targetable as curses, enhancements, and/or artifacts in hand, deck, and discard..

Quote from: REG 2.0
Curse
A Curse is both an Enhancement and an Artifact, and can be targeted as either (in hand, deck, or discard pile) until it is played, held, activated, or placed in Artifact pile as one or the other. A Curse that is played or held as an Enhancement can no longer be targeted as an Artifact. A Curse that is activated or placed in the Artifact pile can no longer be targeted as an Enhancement. It can still be targeted as a Curse.

Thank you for the correction. I was thinking of the reset rules.

I don't believe it is a new rule, actually.  I'm pretty sure that this has been the status quo for quite awhile now, at least as long as the latest REG, but I'm fairly sure that was the ruling longer.

That has always been the rule as far as I am aware. I have never ruled it differently.
