Unless Artificers are given a way to recharge wands I would think that 
they should be given some sort of rod.  ToME3 has plans for an wand 
centered Alchemist class which can recharge wands using potions.

Also, this could be a good class for implementing a player-set-traps, 
since mechanical traps would fit in with artificing and also fit in 
with their starting Traps & Doors skills.

I don't think that "artificer" would go well with drawing magical 
cards out a deck created by a god, but maybe that's just me.
