How come the old ("unlimited edition") Icy Manipulator is insanely better than the new ones? You can tap multiple with the old one and their abilities don't do anything, versus tapping a single whose abilities can still be activated. What gives, Wizards? I know it's OP, but I haven't seen any other OP card that they've toned down on. Am I reading the "unlimited" card wrong?
The unlimited icy manipulator is of type mono-artifact, which doesn't exist anymore. But back then it meant that it tapped upon activation. The effect is the same as new icy.
The card hasn't changed, the rules have. Losing all of the crazy artifact subtypes moved tap abilities into the textbox and reduced the ability to "turn off" artifacts with static and triggered abilities to the grandfathered-in untapped requirement seen in Howling Mine.
