Notes and Rules Information for Animate Artifact:
  • This card has been returned to its original functionality. If it is enchanting an artifact that’s already a creature, it won’t change its power and toughness. (2008-08-01)
  • A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its {T} abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn’t matter how long the permanent has been a creature. (2008-08-01)
