Temple Artifacts is defined in the REG and only refers to cards that depict items that are "ordained by God as a permanent fixture in the Tabernacle or Temple and found in that specific house of the Lord."

As such Heavenly Temple Artifacts would be considered a completely unique set of cards and would not work with Temple Priests' ability.

ok thanks!

For artifacts:
Herod's Temple is a subset of Solomon's Temple
Zerubabbel's Temple is a subset of Solomon's Temple
Tabernacle is a subset of Solomon's Temple
Solomon's Temple is Temple

Heavenly Temple is a different set of artifacts, with one overlapping (Ark)

Based on the discussion on parentheses in abilities, the (except Heavenly Temple Artifacts) modifies Solomon's Temple artifacts, removing Ark.  Which is wrong.  If it modifies "All Temple Artifacts", all temple artifacts except Heavenly Temple are Solomon's Temple, including both lists.  Which is also apparently wrong.  But there's a good chance my grammar is off - the second option doesn't make much sense - if it was both, it should say Temple Artifacts are either Solomon's Temple or Heavenly Temple.

I think the exception is unnecessary and just clouds the issue.  The sentence immediately after (the exception) also mentioning Heavenly Temple implies it's a subset of Temple as well.

It might be easier to just mention the earthly temples in the 2nd paragraph and add a 3rd with the Heavenly Temple part, clarifying that it's a separate list.
