• 12/1/2004: Dismantle targets only the artifact that will be destroyed. When Dismantle resolves, you choose which type of counters you want and choose an artifact you control to put them on.
• 12/1/2004: It doesn't matter what kind of counters the destroyed artifact had on it, only how many. If an artifact had five bomb counters and two trap counters on it, that converts to seven +1/+1 counters or seven charge counters.
• 12/1/2004: You can put +1/+1 counters on a noncreature artifact. They won't do anything unless the artifact becomes a creature, at which time they'll add to the creature's power and toughness.
• 12/1/2004: If the artifact regenerates or is indestructible, it won't be destroyed, but you still put the appropriate number of counters onto an artifact you control.
