About Damping Matrix
Damping Matrix, Artifact, designed by Mike Dringenberg first released in Oct, 2003 in the set Mirrodin and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 1.82.
This card, Damping Matrix, would be beneficial in a deck that aims to control the board by shutting down activated abilities of artifacts and creatures. Decks that rely heavily on activated abilities, such as artifact-based decks or decks that use creatures with powerful activated abilities, would struggle against Damping Matrix. While there may be other cards that offer similar effects, Damping Matrix can be a strong choice depending on the meta and the specific strategy of the deck, making it a viable option for play in certain situations.
Rules
03/14/17
Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keyword abilities, such as equip, are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.
03/14/17
Damping Matrix’s ability affects only artifacts and creatures on the battlefield. Activated abilities that work in other zones (such as bloodrush or unearth) can still be activated. Triggered abilities (starting with “when,” “whenever,” or “at”) are unaffected.
