{1}: Target artifact creature blocks Auriok Siege Sled this turn if able.
{1}: Target artifact creature can't block Auriok Siege Sled this turn.

Remember that an effect that says you “can’t” do something overrides an effect that says you can or must do something. If you activate both of Auriok Siege Sled’s abilities on the same creature, that creature can’t block Auriok Siege Sled this turn.

Every creature on Mirrodin is a lightning rod.

{1}: Blinkmoth Nexus becomes a 1/1 Blinkmoth artifact creature with flying until end of turn. It's still a land.
{1}, {T}: Target Blinkmoth gets +1/+1 until end of turn.

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.

Blinkmoth Nexus can be the target of its last ability after activating its middle ability. Activating it after it has blocked a creature won't remove it from combat or stop it from dealing and being dealt combat damage.

{T}: Add {C}.

Burden of Greed

Target player loses 1 life for each tapped artifact he or she controls.

Target player loses 1 life for each tapped artifact they control.

Stealing goblin weapons would be easier if the goblins were smart enough to let go.

Carry Away

When Carry Away comes into play, unattach enchanted Equipment.
You control enchanted Equipment.

Normally, gaining control of an Equipment doesn’t change what it’s attached to. However, Carry Away has a triggered ability that unattaches the Equipment from whatever it’s attached to. The Equipment’s new controller can activate its equip ability to move it onto a creature they control.

Enchant Equipment

Darksteel Colossus

Trample
Darksteel Colossus is indestructible. ("Destroy" effects and lethal damage don't destroy it.)
If Darksteel Colossus would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, reveal Darksteel Colossus and shuffle it into its owner's library instead.

Lethal damage, damage from a source with deathtouch, and effects that say “destroy” won’t cause a creature with indestructible to be put into the graveyard. However, a creature with indestructible can be put into the graveyard for a number of reasons. The most likely reasons are if it’s sacrificed or if its toughness is 0 or less. (In these cases, of course, Darksteel Colossus would be shuffled into its owner’s library instead of being put into its owner’s graveyard.)

Trample, indestructible
If Darksteel Colossus would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, reveal Darksteel Colossus and shuffle it into its owner's library instead.

"Did it have this shape upon Mirrodin's creation, or did some inconceivable force shape the unshapable?"
—Pontifex, elder researcher

Darksteel Forge

Artifacts you control are indestructible. ("Destroy" effects and lethal damage don't destroy them.)

Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to an artifact creature you control may become lethal if Darksteel Forge leaves the battlefield during that turn.

Artifacts you control have indestructible. (Effects that say "destroy" don't destroy them. Artifact creatures with indestructible can't be destroyed by damage.)

Death Cloud

Each player loses X life, then discards X cards from his or her hand, then sacrifices X creatures, then sacrifices X lands.

If you control a permanent that’s a creature and a land, and you choose to sacrifice it as you sacrifice creatures, it won’t be on the battlefield when you sacrifice lands. You can’t sacrifice it again.

Each player loses X life, discards X cards, sacrifices X creatures, then sacrifices X lands.

Death-Mask Duplicant

Imprint {1}: Remove target creature card in your graveyard from the game. (The removed card is imprinted on this artifact.)
As long as an imprinted creature card has flying, Death-Mask Duplicant has flying. The same is true for fear, first strike, double strike, haste, landwalk, protection, and trample.

Death-Mask Duplicant gains all landwalk and protection abilities of the imprinted creature cards. If Death-Mask Duplicant imprints a card with protection from red and a card with protection from creatures, it has protection from red and from creatures.

Death-Mask Duplicant has an activated imprint ability. This ability can be activated any number of times, so multiple creature cards can become imprinted on this creature.

Imprint — {1}: Exile target creature card from your graveyard.
As long as a card exiled with Death-Mask Duplicant has flying, Death-Mask Duplicant has flying. The same is true for fear, first strike, double strike, haste, landwalk, protection, and trample.

Its curve mimics the twists of life and death.

Demon's Horn

Whenever a player plays a black spell, you may gain 1 life.

If a player casts a black spell, Demon’s Horn’s ability triggers and is put on the stack on top of that spell. Demon’s Horn’s ability will resolve (causing you to gain 1 life) before the spell does.

The ability triggers whenever any player, not just you, casts a black spell.

Whenever a player casts a black spell, you may gain 1 life.

"If only the living were so easily salvaged."
—Memnarch

Dismantle

Destroy target artifact. If that artifact had counters on it, put that many +1/+1 counters or charge counters on an artifact you control.

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. No player make take actions between the time you make this choice and the time counters are on the artifact.

If the target artifact is an illegal target by the time Dismantle tries to resolve, the spell won't resolve. You won't put any counters on an artifact. If the target is legal but not destroyed (most likely because it has indestructible), you do put counters on an artifact.

It doesn't matter what kind of counters the destroyed artifact had on it, only how many. If an artifact had five fuse counters and two trap counters on it, you put seven +1/+1 counters or seven charge counters on an artifact.

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.

Though no longer attached to the hand, it still holds its adversary in its grasp.

Dragon's Claw

Whenever a player plays a red spell, you may gain 1 life.

If a player casts a red spell, Dragon’s Claw’s ability triggers and is put on the stack on top of that spell. Dragon’s Claw’s ability will resolve (causing you to gain 1 life) before the spell does.

The ability triggers whenever any player, not just you, casts a red spell.

Whenever a player casts a red spell, you may gain 1 life.

Drooling Ogre

Whenever a player plays an artifact spell, that player gains control of Drooling Ogre. (This effect doesn't end at end of turn.)

Whenever a player casts an artifact spell, that player gains control of Drooling Ogre. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)

The longer it skulks through the corrosive gases of Mephidross, the more it adopts their thirst for death.

A single light unleashes a hail of cleansing.

Echoing Calm

Destroy target enchantment and all other enchantments with the same name as that enchantment.

A single seed unleashes a flurry of growth.

Echoing Courage

Target creature and all other creatures with the same name as that creature get +2/+2 until end of turn.

A face-down creature has no name, so it can't share a name with anything. This includes other creatures with no name.

Echoing Courage has only one target. Other creatures with that name are not targeted. For example, a creature with protection from green will still get +2/+2 if it has the same name as the target creature.

If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Echoing Courage tries to resolve, the spell doesn't resolve. No creatures get +2/+2.

Unless a token is a copy of another permanent or was explicitly given a name by the effect that created it, its name is the subtypes it was given when it was created plus the word "Token." For example, if an effect creates a 1/1 Soldier creature token, that token is named "Soldier Token."

A single fear unleashes a torrent of nightmares.

Echoing Decay

Target creature and all other creatures with the same name as that creature get -2/-2 until end of turn.

A single misstep unleashes an avalanche of ruin.

Echoing Ruin

Destroy target artifact and all other artifacts with the same name as that artifact.
