5 is the new 6 I'm afraid.
Of course, Vlaada knows best. But I'm not sure I'll replace that card. My wife surely won't let me xD
In fact year and half ago, when we tested MK thoroughly, it was me and other tester David, who persuaded Vlaada to increase Horn's value from 4 to 6. Back than we haven't really understood all the gameplay options and card combinations so it seemed like a right thing to do. And since we were Vlaada's main testers, he agreed after some insistence. And till this day he's unhappy we made him change it as it's clearly overpowered :)
The basic idea behind any Artifact's base effect is that it's same strength or a bit stonger than stronger effect of Advance Action card or Once Per Round skill tokens. Now if you look at pretty much all the non-banner Artifacts, it matches. Rings, Book of Wisdom, you name it.
But the Horn is twice as strong (ok, with 33% chance to gain a wound) as it's only equal card - Crushing Bolt. So now we'll have compromise - still stronger than Vlaada's original intention, but a bit weaker than the current OP version.
But anyway feel free to keep the original card in place, it wouldn't be wise to anger your wife over some silly card :)
