About Animate Artifact
Animate Artifact, Enchantment — aura, designed by Douglas Shuler first released in Aug, 1993 in the set Limited Edition Alpha and was printed exactly in 13 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.36.
This card, Animate Artifact, would benefit decks looking to quickly turn their non-creature artifacts into artifact creatures, potentially adding pressure to the board or providing additional blockers. However, it may be overshadowed by cards like Ensoul Artifact or Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge, which offer similar effects with additional benefits, making Animate Artifact less likely to see play in competitive Magic: The Gathering decks.

This card has been returned to its original functionality. If it is enchanting an artifact that’s already a creature, it won’t change its power and toughness.
