Support Area Class
Support Area is an item class for Artifacts and Possessions that is shorthand for "Plays to your support area". This class was introduced in The Return of the King, and cards before that point simply included that full text in the card's game text.
Conditions can also contain a Support Area subtype which behaves the same way, but strictly speaking this is not an Item Class.
