Hithlain Rope
The catch is baked into the effect: every activation hands the artifact to the player on your right, so you fetch a land or draw a card once, then the Rope walks away from you and into someone else's hands. It turns a Rampant Growth or a cantrip into a party favor that circulates the table, each owner squeezing one use before passing it along the seat order. Building around it means treating the giveaway not as a downside but as the price of admission, or racing to get your value in before the object drifts out of reach. The "can't be sacrificed" clause carries real weight: it forecloses the obvious escape hatch of feeding the Rope to Krark-Clan Ironworks or Deadly Dispute to convert it into a stray resource and deny the next owner, so the artifact is locked into its circulation loop until something else exiles or destroys it. This is a design built entirely around shared ownership as a mechanic, the kind of political artifact that only makes sense at a table where handing a resource to an opponent is a bargaining chip rather than a pure loss. The land-fetch mode plays as symmetric ramp that everyone eventually samples; the draw mode plays as a rotating cantrip. Neither is efficient in a vacuum, and that is the point: the Rope is charged with turns, favors, and grudges rather than with pure card advantage.
