1. Amulet of Kroog

Mono Artifact 2 (2) Antiquities (Common)
{2}: Prevent 1 damage to any target.

2. Armageddon Clock

Continuous Artifact 6 (6) Antiquities (Uncommon)
Put one counter on Armageddon Clock during each of your upkeeps. At the end of your upkeep, each player takes damage equal to the number of counters on the Clock. Any player may spend {4} during any upkeep to remove a counter.
  • Players can remove as many counters as they can pay for each turn. [D'Angelo 2000/02/25]
  • Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.

3. Ashnod's Altar

Poly Artifact 3 (3) Antiquities (Uncommon)
{0}: Sacrifice one of your creatures to add 2 colorless mana to your mana pool. This effect is played as an interrupt. You may not sacrifice a creature that is already on its way to the graveyard.

4. Ashnod's Battle Gear

Mono Artifact 2 (2) Antiquities (Uncommon)
{2}: Give a creature of yours +2/-2 as long as Ashnod's Battle Gear is tapped. You may choose not to untap Ashnod's Battle Gear during untap phase.
  • Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.

5. Ashnod's Transmogrant

Mono Artifact 1 (1) Antiquities (Uncommon)
Target non-artifact creature gains +1/+1 and is now considered an artifact creature, though it retains its original color. Discard Ashnod's Transmogrant after it is used.
  • The counter only gives the +1/+1. The artifactness is a permanent change not associated with the counter. [Aahz 1997/08/22] So if the counter is moved off of the creature the artifact nature stays.
  • Note - Also see Changing a Permanent's Type, Rule 212.1c.

6. Battering Ram

Artifact Creature 1/1 2 (2) Antiquities (Common)
Bands, but only when attacking.
Any wall blocking Battering Ram is destroyed. Walls destroyed in this way deal their damage before dying.

7. Bronze Tablet

Mono Artifact 6 (6) Antiquities (Rare)
{4}: Target any card opponent has in play; remove it and Bronze Tablet from game. You become owner of that card, and your opponent becomes owner of Bronze Tablet. Exchange is permanent; play as interrupt. Opponent can prevent exchange by spending 10 life; this discards Bronze Tablet. Damage-preventing effects cannot counter such loss of life. Bronze Tablet comes into play tapped. Remove this card from deck before playing if not playing for ante.
  • Cannot choose to lose 10 life if you have less than 10 life, but you may choose to give up the game immediately. This has roughly the same effect. [D'Angelo 1994/06/01]
  • If the card being targeted by the Bronze Tablet is removed before Tablet takes effect, then the Tablet ability is countered and it remains tapped. [D'Angelo 2001/08/31]
  • If the tablet is not still in play when the ability resolves, it is not removed from the game, and the exchange fails to happen. You don't get the other player's card. [D'Angelo 2001/08/31]
  • If using a Copy Artifact of the Tablet, you must trade the Copy Artifact card to your opponent just like you would have traded the Tablet. [bethmo 1994/08/01]
  • You can take control of your opponent's Tablet and in the trade you only have to give them back their Tablet. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 15]

13. Cursed Rack

Continuous Artifact 4 (4) Antiquities (Uncommon)
Opponent must discards down to four cards during his or her discard phase.
  • The effect of lowering the maximum hand size makes it so the player discards down to 4 cards (instead of the usual 7) during the cleanup step. [D'Angelo 2000/02/25]
  • You choose one opposing player just as this card is coming into play and it only affects that one player. This choice is not changed even if this card changes controllers. It becomes useless but stays in play if the target player leaves play. [D'Angelo 2001/08/31]

Such creatures may not have enchantments cast on them, and they do not share any enchantments on Tetravus.

[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]
