What to study

Artifact drafts in Monster Train 2 are two tiles and a priced pass: Dante's Footstool draws a Room card free on deployment, Departure Manifest makes every non-banner unit Deployable, and Skip pays 25 gold for taking neither, so even declining is a costed decision. The panel stays modal over the run map (Heaven's Gate and Limbo banners still visible at the edges), which keeps the reward inside the journey instead of cutting to a separate shop screen. Frame at about 0:44 in the Launch Trailer - Echoes from the void (Steam).
