Item Description

Two blue mana for an aura that looks modest on paper: enchant an artifact, and its activated abilities cost two less to activate, though never less than one mana. Power Artifact is a 1994 Antiquities uncommon, and it hides one of Magic's oldest infinite-mana combos.

Put it on Basalt Monolith, which taps for three colorless mana and normally costs three to untap. With Power Artifact attached the untap costs just one, so every cycle nets two mana and you can repeat it as many times as you like. Grim Monolith works the same way, untapping for two instead of four. That endless colorless mana can then fuel any mana sink in the deck, from X spells to repeatable artifact abilities, and the combo has been a favorite of artifact deckbuilders in Commander and cube for decades. Even without a combo, it trims equip costs and makes any artifact with an expensive activated ability far more efficient.

Antiquities was Magic's 1994 artifact-themed expansion, telling the story of the brothers Urza and Mishra, and Power Artifact is on the Reserved List, Wizards of the Coast's policy of not reprinting certain early cards. This is the original Antiquities printing, collector number 11, illustrated by Douglas Shuler, in non-foil, a real piece of early Magic history with a combo pedigree to match.
