Copy Artifact

Enchantment, 1U (2)
As Copy Artifact comes into play, you may choose an artifact in play. If you do, Copy Artifact comes into play as a copy of that artifact. It's still an enchantment.¹
Illus. Amy Weber

Crystal Keep Rulings Summaries

• Note - Also see Copying Objects, Rule 503. There are enough important rules there that they are worth reading first.
• The artifact to copy is chosen at the time this card enters play. If there is no valid artifact to choose, then this card enters play as a global enchantment that has no effect. [D'Angelo 2001/08/31]
• As a copy, Copy Artifact copies all initial characteristics of the targeted artifact. This includes name, abilities, whether or not it is a creature and more. [CompRules 2001/07/23 - 503.2/3]
• The copy of the artifact is not still blue. It copies the color of the thing it is copying. [Duelist Magazine #14, Page 26]
• The copy is both an artifact and an enchantment, so it is an artifact-enchantment (perhaps even an artifact-creature-enchantment). It can be affected by anything which affects either type of permanent. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]
• Vintage tournaments (see Rule 801) restricted this card from 1994/03/23 to 1997/10/01.
• Legacy tournaments (see Rule 802) banned this card until 1999/04/01.
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.
