Gameplay

Enchantment

Players can't untap more than one artifact during their untap steps.

Eventually, mages learned to harness the power of natural damping fields and use it for their own ends.

Artifact creatures are artifacts. They are affected so only one may untap.

Damping Field does not prevent artifacts being untapped by spells or abilities at other times.

Context

This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from ATQ — the lineup includes Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #5 of *Antiquities*, the set that shipped alongside the March 1994 Antiquities release.

Card type: Enchantment, color identity white, printed at uncommon. Uncommons fill the middle-tier slots in a standard booster configuration. Mana cost: {2}{W} (3 converted).

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #26,510 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
