karn, silver golem's 1 mana ability

Asked by somensjev 11 years ago

can i use Karn, Silver Golem 's ability on an opponents artifact and turn it into a creature?

for example, if my opponent had a Mindslaver on the field, and i tried to turn it into a 6/6 creature, would it work?

Yes, there's no reason why that wouldn't work. It only wouldn't work if it said "noncreature artifact you control".

You sure can. My Karn deck, Which I will post today, Uses Mycosynth Lattice to make my opponents' lands into Artifacts, so that Karn Can Animate them, Thus causing them to be put into the Graveyard as a state-based action, as its power and toughness would be zero. I also use Dross Scorpion so that I may tap one Land over and over to kill all the lands at the table but mine!

@Mithrandrir, That's one hell of a combo.

You can, but there would be little point in doing it to Mindslaver unless you are going to immediately going to exile or kill it since it would be a 6/6 artifact creature with Mindslaver's ability.

i realise, i just said mindslaver since it was the first artifact i thought of, and i'm sure Terminate would be easy to use
