Power Artifact
    Color= Blue Type= Enchantment - Aura Cost= UU AQ(U3)
    Text (AQ+errata): Enchant artifact. ; Enchanted artifact's activated abilities cost {2} less to activate. This effect can't reduce the amount of mana an ability costs to activate to less than one mana. [Oracle 2009/07/08]
  • Can be placed on artifacts with no or zero activation costs, but this has no effect on them. It does not increase the cost to one. [bethmo 1994/06/01]
  • For artifacts with an X use cost (such as the Candelabra of Tawnos or Ice Cauldron) this reduces the amount spent by {2} to a minimum of {1}. [WotC Rules Team 1995/09/22]
    If you choose X to be zero, you have to still pay {1}. Power Artifact lets you pay the greater of 1 or X-2. [Aahz 1995/09/29]
  • Only affects the generic mana part of activation costs. Colored parts of mana costs are not affected. This rule comes into play if a card like the Northern Paladin gets changed into an artifact by Ashnod's Transmogrant. [D'Angelo 1994/08/01]
  • Extended tournaments (see Rule 913) have always banned this card.
  • Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.31.
  • Note - This card was of type "Enchant Artifact" until Oracle 2005/08/01.
