What prevented the opponent from buying a red artifact and killing you on turn 121? You're contradicting yourself. You need at least 10+ games on any template to roughly determine the price range for a color, because with just one game, it always seems like "sometimes it's overpowered, sometimes it's not." For example, when the mirror Jebus first came out, they were giving 2-3K maximum for the red artifact, and many were even haggling for the hero. But after a few weeks of games, the bidding for the red artifact sometimes went over 6K (when playing as Fortress, for example).
