inspired by another thread I saw and some comments. these are items that remain play if destroyed.
the idea is that these play to a creature, like Iron Armor | Plate Mail does. These however, return to your hand/deck if able. It was such a good idea, thought Id spin it. Here are six. Six more could be done to make a complete set. I think a few that give an ability is good, but the focus should be on attributes, specifically attack for the most part. Ideally, only one per deck of each type, or six of these at all.

Excalibur
5 :light
target creature you control gains +4|+2

Masamune
5 :fire
target creature you control gains +5|+0

Ratatosk's Tooth
:earth
target creature gains +2|+4 and Momentum

Aegis
5 :aether
target creature gains +0|+12

Horned Turtle Shell
5 :life
target creature gains +2|+5, Counter Attack, deal attack to any offensive source if targeted.

Catfish Whisker
:water
target creature gains +2|+1 and Venom

Good idea

I don't think you need to limit one per deck (I understand that since they're legendary only one 'should' exist, but I don't think it's a big deal...and since nothing else is limited in this way it might make it less likely to be included)

Also, needs some balancing. Excalibur costs more than blessing and isn't as good, probably could use the same argument for Ratatosk's Tooth and Catfish Whisker.

Masamune seems more like a darkness artifact? (given the relation to ninjas...unless I'm missing a reference to something else)

How about 'Sting' for a life artifact (I don't know of any legendary 'horned turtle shell', though maybe I'm missing a reference again?). Cost is 2 :life, target creature gains +2|+0 and Spider Bane (passive), deal 1 damage to all enemy spiders.

Sting could also be light (it's an elvish blade), but I like Excalibur as an idea to work with.
