Love the new cards, thanks for these previews Paul!With regards to Soul Harvester's powered effect, I'm a little confused though as to when you could play it other than in the 'attack' phase of combat. It just gives you Normal attack 8. I don't think you'd be allowed to play it during the siege attack phase since damage isn't carried over between the rounds. If you wanted to gain crystals, would you have to throw the artifact away in the Siege round, while using other cards to deal siege/range damage? In this case, you wouldn't get any benefit of the attack 8?
One way around this would be to use it in tandem with the Altem Mages black effect to turn everything into siege damage, but that's a really rare scenario.
In terms of timing, I think it would be really cool in terms of card combinations if you could get the crystals immediately. For example, kill an enemy with the artifact, and then immediately use the gained crystal to power another effect to win the fight. I think it would be a bit more boring if you just received the crystals at the end of the fight as a reward.
