About Skill Borrower
Skill Borrower, Artifact creature — human wizard, designed by Shelly Wan first released in May, 2020 in the set Shards of Alara. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 0.86.
Skill Borrower can be a valuable addition to a deck focused on artifacts or creature-based strategies in Magic: the Gathering, particularly in decks with a high density of powerful activated abilities to copy. However, it may be overshadowed by more efficient options like Clever Impersonator, which can copy any permanent on the battlefield, or Sakashima the Impostor, offering more versatility. Skill Borrower could find a place in casual or themed decks looking to showcase unique interactions, but in competitive settings, it may struggle to compete with stronger options.
Rules
10/01/08
If an effect tells you to draw several cards, reveal each one before you draw it. Skill Borrower will momentarily gain the activated abilities of artifact and creature cards revealed this way, but you won’t be able to activate those abilities while the effect is still happening.
10/01/08
Skill Borrower may gain activated abilities that it can’t use. For example, if the top card of your library is an artifact or creature card with cycling, Skill Borrower will have cycling. However, since cycling can’t be activated from the battlefield, this won’t have any significant benefit. The same is true for unearth.

The only difference between a colored artifact and a colorless artifact is, obviously, its color. Unlike most artifacts, a colored artifact requires colored mana to cast. Also unlike most artifacts, a colored artifact has a color in all zones. It will interact with cards that care about color. Other than that, a colored artifact behaves just like any other artifact. It will interact as normal with any card that cares about artifacts, such as Shatter or Arcbound Ravager.
