The copy of the artifact is not still blue. It copies the color of the thing it is copying.

The artifact to copy is chosen at the time this card enters. If there is no valid artifact to choose, then this card enters as an enchantment that has no effect.

The copy is both an artifact and an enchantment, so it is an artifact-enchantment (perhaps even an artifact-creature-enchantment). It can be affected by anything which affects either type of permanent.

Context

Last observed on Scryfall 2 months ago at $175.00. Over the trailing 90 days the price moved between $73.10 and $175.00 across 46 observations. Cross-checked across TCGplayer, eBay sold, Cardmarket EU, and Star City.

This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from FBB — 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 #53 of *Foreign Black Border*, the set that shipped alongside the April 1994 Foreign Black Border release.

Card type: Enchantment, color identity blue, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {1}{U} (2 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 #3,964 in Commander, putting it in the niche-pick tier of the format's playable pool.
