A great mirage, a dream of wings and silver.

Argent Sphinx

Flying
Metalcraft — {U}: Exile Argent Sphinx. Return it to the battlefield under your control at the beginning of the next end step. Activate this ability only if you control three or more artifacts.

If you activate Argent Sphinx’s metalcraft ability during a turn’s end step, Argent Sphinx will return to the battlefield at the beginning of the following turn’s end step.

If you activate Argent Sphinx’s metalcraft ability, Argent Sphinx will return to the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step no matter how many artifacts you control at that time.

If you control an Argent Sphinx owned by another player and activate its ability, Argent Sphinx will return to the battlefield under your control at the beginning of the next end step. You’ll retain control of it indefinitely.

Argentum Armor

Equipped creature gets +6/+6.
Whenever equipped creature attacks, destroy target permanent.
Equip {6}

The second ability triggers and resolves during the declare attackers step. The target permanent will be destroyed before blockers are declared.

You may target any permanent with the triggered ability, not just one controlled by the defending player. If no other player controls a permanent, you must target one of your own.

Bladehold houses a rogues' gallery filled with the living "statues" of the worst enemies of the Auriok.

Arrest

Enchant creature
Enchanted creature can't attack or block, and its activated abilities can't be activated.

Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.

"Let my ignominy build walls thicker than iron and stronger than darksteel."
—Thrun, the last troll

Asceticism

Creatures you control can't be the targets of spells or abilities your opponents control.
{1}{G}: Regenerate target creature.

You may target any creature with the regeneration ability, not just one you control.

Creatures you control have hexproof.
{1}{G}: Regenerate target creature. (The next time it would be destroyed, instead tap it, remove it from combat, and heal all damage on it.)

When breaking someone's face once just isn't enough.

Assault Strobe

Target creature gains double strike until end of turn. (It deals both first-strike and regular combat damage.)

Auriok soldiers craft their own weapons, forging a connection to the steel with each blow of the hammer.

Auriok Edgewright

Metalcraft — Auriok Edgewright has double strike as long as you control three or more artifacts.

If Auriok Edgewright has double strike as the combat damage step begins, there will be a second combat damage step. As that second combat damage step begins, if Auriok Edgewright no longer has double strike (perhaps because an artifact creature you controlled was destroyed), Auriok Edgewright will not assign combat damage a second time.

All the loyalty of the Auriok with only a trace of their self-righteousness.

Auriok Replica

{W}, Sacrifice Auriok Replica: Prevent all damage a source of your choice would deal to you this turn.

If the chosen source would deal damage to you and to other creatures, players, and/or planeswalkers, only the damage that would be dealt to you is prevented.

You choose a source of damage as the ability resolves. Since the ability doesn’t target the source, you could choose a source with protection from artifacts, for example.

"Grant me loft. Grant me light. Grant me the accuracy I need to kill all who threaten Bladehold."
—Prayer to the Whitesun

Auriok Sunchaser

Metalcraft — As long as you control three or more artifacts, Auriok Sunchaser gets +2/+2 and has flying.

For the purposes of blocking (either because Auriok Sunchaser is attacking or because a creature with flying is attacking Auriok Sunchaser’s controller), whether Auriok Sunchaser has flying is checked only as the declare blockers step begins.

If Auriok Sunchaser blocks a creature with flying, causing it to lose flying (by destroying an artifact its controller controls, for example) won’t change that.

"One need only look at the inhabitants of this world to see that they are forged halfway to perfection. All they need is a whisper of the Glorious Word."

Barbed Battlegear

The elves had devised countless strategies to combat Memnarch's war machines, but they had no idea what to do when one was *thrown* at them.

Barrage Ogre

{T}, Sacrifice an artifact: Barrage Ogre deals 2 damage to target creature or player.

Where the Oxidda Chain mingles with the Mephidross, oil-suffused metal crumbles away, leaving walls of blackened bones.

Blackcleave Cliffs

Blackcleave Cliffs enters the battlefield tapped unless you control two or fewer other lands.
{T}: Add {B} or {R} to your mana pool.

If one of these lands enters the battlefield at the same time as one or more other lands (due to Oblivion Sower or Warp World, perhaps), it doesn't take those lands into consideration when determining how many other lands you control.

If one of these lands enters the battlefield under your control and you control zero, one, or two other lands, it enters the battlefield untapped. If you control three or more other lands, it enters the battlefield tapped.

Blackcleave Cliffs enters tapped unless you control two or fewer other lands.
{T}: Add {B} or {R}.

"Bitten? Save time, amputate now."

Blackcleave Goblin

Haste
Infect (This creature deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.)

A player who has ten or more poison counters loses the game. This is a state-based action.

Damage from a source with infect affects planeswalkers normally.

Damage from a source with infect is damage in all respects. If the source with infect also has lifelink, damage dealt by that source also causes its controller to gain that much life. Damage from a source with infect can be prevented or redirected. Abilities that trigger on damage being dealt will trigger if a source with infect deals damage, if appropriate.

If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a player is prevented, that player doesn’t get poison counters. If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a creature is prevented, that creature doesn’t get -1/-1 counters.

Infect’s effect applies to any damage, not just combat damage.

The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. They’re not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.

Blade-Tribe Berserkers

Metalcraft — When Blade-Tribe Berserkers enters the battlefield, if you control three or more artifacts, Blade-Tribe Berserkers gets +3/+3 and gains haste until end of turn.

Once the metalcraft ability resolves, Blade-Tribe Berserkers retains its bonuses for the rest of the turn, even if you cease to control three or more artifacts for some reason.

Metalcraft — When Blade-Tribe Berserkers enters, if you control three or more artifacts, Blade-Tribe Berserkers gets +3/+3 and gains haste until end of turn.

Lacking trained pterons, the Auriok had to rely on other measures to gain the upper hand in the skies.

Metalcraft — When Bleak Coven Vampires enters, if you control three or more artifacts, target player loses 4 life and you gain 4 life.

Blight Mamba

Infect (This creature deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.)
{1}{G}: Regenerate Blight Mamba.

If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a player is prevented, that player doesn't get poison counters. If damage from a source with infect that would be dealt to a creature is prevented, that creature doesn't get -1/-1 counters.

Infect's effect applies to any damage, not just combat damage.

The -1/-1 counters remain on the creature indefinitely. They're not removed if the creature regenerates or the turn ends.

Blistergrub

When Blistergrub is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, each opponent loses 2 life.

Swampwalk (This creature can't be blocked as long as defending player controls a Swamp.)
When Blistergrub dies, each opponent loses 2 life.

"Just think how strong I'll be if my arms don't tear off!"

Bloodshot Trainee

{T}: Bloodshot Trainee deals 4 damage to target creature. Activate this ability only if Bloodshot Trainee's power is 4 or greater.

Once Bloodshot Trainee's ability has been activated, it will deal damage even if Bloodshot Trainee's power is less than 4 by the time the ability resolves.

{T}: Bloodshot Trainee deals 4 damage to target creature. Activate only if Bloodshot Trainee's power is 4 or greater.

"Much can be gained from the appearance of vulnerability."

Carapace Forger

Metalcraft — Carapace Forger gets +2/+2 as long as you control three or more artifacts.

Carnifex Demon

Flying
Carnifex Demon enters the battlefield with two -1/-1 counters on it.
{B}, Remove a -1/-1 counter from Carnifex Demon: Put a -1/-1 counter on each other creature.

As Carnifex Demon’s last ability resolves, you’ll put a -1/-1 counter on each creature on the battlefield — including creatures you control — except for that Carnifex Demon.

Flying
Carnifex Demon enters with two -1/-1 counters on it.
{B}, Remove a -1/-1 counter from Carnifex Demon: Put a -1/-1 counter on each other creature.

Carrion Call

Put two 1/1 green Insect creature tokens with infect onto the battlefield. (They deal damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.)

Create two 1/1 green Phyrexian Insect creature tokens with infect. (They deal damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.)

Cerebral Eruption

Target opponent reveals the top card of his or her library. Cerebral Eruption deals damage equal to the revealed card's converted mana cost to that player and each creature he or she controls. If a land card is revealed this way, return Cerebral Eruption to its owner's hand.

If a land card is revealed this way, Cerebral Eruption is returned to its owner’s hand from the stack. It finishes resolving, but it isn’t put into the graveyard.

If the mana cost of the revealed card includes {X}, X is considered to be 0.

If the revealed card has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it’s a land card, for example), its mana value is 0.

If the targeted opponent is an illegal target by the time Cerebral Eruption resolves, the spell doesn’t resolve. No cards will be revealed and no damage will be dealt.

Once the card is revealed, it’s too late for players to respond. The targeted opponent can’t, for example, see how much damage will be dealt, then cast a damage prevention spell or activate a regeneration ability. All such actions must be done before Cerebral Eruption starts to resolve.

The mana value of the revealed card is determined solely by the mana symbols printed in its upper right corner. The mana value is the total amount of mana in that cost, regardless of color. For example, a card with mana cost {3}{U}{U} has mana value 5.

Target opponent reveals the top card of their library. Cerebral Eruption deals damage equal to the revealed card's mana value to that player and each creature that player controls. If a land card is revealed this way, return Cerebral Eruption to its owner's hand.

Chimeric Mass

Chimeric Mass enters the battlefield with X charge counters on it.
{1}: Until end of turn, Chimeric Mass becomes a Construct artifact creature with "This creature's power and toughness are each equal to the number of charge counters on it."

Activating the last ability while Chimeric Mass is a creature will override any effects that set its power and/or toughness to another number, but effects that modify power and/or toughness without directly setting them will still apply.

For example, say you activate the last ability of a Chimeric Mass with three charge counters on it. After it resolves, you cast Giant Growth targeting it. It’s now 6/6. Then Diminish (“Target creature becomes 1/1 until end of turn”) is cast targeting it. Once Diminish resolves, Chimeric Mass would be 4/4. Activating Chimeric Mass’s last ability a second time would make it 6/6 again until end of turn.

If the number of charge counters on Chimeric Mass changes while it is a creature, its power and toughness will change accordingly.

If you activate Chimeric Mass’s last ability while it has no charge counters on it, it will become a 0/0 creature and be put into its owner’s graveyard as a state-based action.

Chimeric Mass enters with X charge counters on it.
{1}: Until end of turn, Chimeric Mass becomes a Construct artifact creature with "This creature's power and toughness are each equal to the number of charge counters on it."

According to Auriok myth, it collects scrap in order to reassemble its lost rider.

Chrome Steed

Metalcraft — Chrome Steed gets +2/+2 as long as you control three or more artifacts.

Clone Shell

Imprint — When Clone Shell enters the battlefield, look at the top four cards of your library, exile one face down, then put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.
When Clone Shell is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, turn the exiled card face up. If it's a creature card, put it onto the battlefield under your control.

As Clone Shell's first ability resolves, you must exile one of the cards you look at, even if none of them is a creature card.

As Clone Shell's second ability resolves, if the exiled card is not a creature card, it simply remains in exile face up.

If you gain control of another player's Clone Shell, you can't look at the face-down exiled card. However, if Clone Shell dies, you turn that card face up and, if it's a creature card, you put it onto the battlefield under your control.

Imprint — When Clone Shell enters, look at the top four cards of your library, exile one face down, then put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.
When Clone Shell dies, turn the exiled card face up. If it's a creature card, put it onto the battlefield under your control.

Contagion Clasp

When Contagion Clasp enters the battlefield, put a -1/-1 counter on target creature.
{4}, {T}: Proliferate. (You choose any number of permanents and/or players with counters on them, then give each another counter of a kind already there.)

Contagion Clasp's first ability is mandatory. If you're the only player who controls a creature, you must target one of them.

An ability that triggers "Whenever you proliferate" triggers even if you chose no permanents or players while doing so.

If a permanent ever has both +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it at the same time, they're removed in pairs as a state-based action so that the permanent has only one of those kinds of counters on it.

If a player or permanent has more than one kind of counter on it, and you choose for it to get additional counters, it must get one of each kind of counter it already has. You can't have it get just one kind of counter it already has and not the others.

Players can respond to a spell or ability whose effect includes proliferating. Once that spell or ability starts to resolve, however, and its controller chooses which permanents and players will get new counters, it's too late for anyone to respond.

To proliferate, you can choose any permanent that has a counter, including ones controlled by opponents. You can choose any player who has a counter, including opponents. You can't choose cards in any zone other than the battlefield, even if they have counters on them.

You don't have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter, only the ones you want to add another counter to. Since "any number" includes zero, you don't have to choose any permanents at all, and you don't have to choose any players at all.

When Contagion Clasp enters, put a -1/-1 counter on target creature.
{4}, {T}: Proliferate. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.)

Contagion Engine

When Contagion Engine enters the battlefield, put a -1/-1 counter on each creature target player controls.
{4}, {T}: Proliferate, then proliferate again. (You choose any number of permanents and/or players with counters on them, then give each another counter of a kind already there. Then do it again.)

As Contagion Engine's activated ability resolves, you'll complete an entire proliferate action, then you'll complete a second proliferate action. You may choose different players and/or permanents, or different counters on those permanents, when you proliferate the second time.

Players can't respond between the first and the second proliferate actions.

When Contagion Engine enters, put a -1/-1 counter on each creature target player controls.
{4}, {T}: Proliferate twice. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there. Then do it again.)

Contagious Nim

Infect (This creature deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and to players in the form of poison counters.)

The myr are like verdigris: an ever-present patina on the surface of a metal world.

Copper Myr

Fangren spur may sound louder, but Viridian resurgents claim that the horn of the vorrac creates a truer, more inspiring note.

Copperhorn Scout

Whenever Copperhorn Scout attacks, untap each other creature you control.

As Copperhorn Scout’s ability resolves, you’ll untap each other creature you control regardless of whether that creature was attacking.

Untapping an attacking creature doesn’t cause it to stop attacking.

Where the Tangle overruns the Oxidda mountains, metallic beasts scratch their territories in the verdigris.

Copperline Gorge

Copperline Gorge enters the battlefield tapped unless you control two or fewer other lands.
{T}: Add {R} or {G} to your mana pool.

If one of these lands enters the battlefield under your control and you control zero, one, or two other lands, it enters the battlefield untapped. If you control three or more other lands, however, it enters the battlefield tapped.

Copperline Gorge enters tapped unless you control two or fewer other lands.

Corrupted Harvester

{B}, Sacrifice a creature: Regenerate Corrupted Harvester.

You may sacrifice Corrupted Harvester to pay for its own regeneration ability. If you do, however, it won’t regenerate. It’ll just end up in its owner’s graveyard as a result of the sacrifice.

—Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur

Culling Dais

{T}, Sacrifice a creature: Put a charge counter on Culling Dais.
{1}, Sacrifice Culling Dais: Draw a card for each charge counter on Culling Dais.

As Culling Dais's last ability resolves, its last existence on the battlefield is checked to determine how many charge counters were on it.

Darkslick Shores enters tapped unless you control two or fewer other lands.

Darksteel Axe

Darksteel Axe is indestructible. (Effects that say "destroy" don't destroy it.)
Equipped creature gets +2/+0.
Equip {2}

Although Darksteel Axe has indestructible, it can still be put into the graveyard for other reasons. The most likely reason is if it's sacrificed.

Indestructible (Effects that say "destroy" don't destroy this artifact.)
Equipped creature gets +2/+0.
