What it does
At the beginning of each player's end step, if an artifact entered the battlefield under your control this turn, look at the top two cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the other into your graveyard.
Rulings
2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2023-11-10
If there is only one card in your library, you put it into your hand.
- 2023-11-10
The ability will trigger no matter what happened to the artifact after it entered. It may have left the battlefield, come under another player's control, or stopped being an artifact.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
