Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.
- 2013-01-24
If you don't control twenty or more artifacts at the beginning of your upkeep, Hellkite Tyrant's last ability won't trigger. If it does trigger, it will check again when it tries to resolve. If you don't control twenty or more artifacts at that time, the ability will do nothing.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
