the combat damage abilities of the swords are triggered not activated right? so they wouldn't be effected by this card as long as they are already equipped to a creature when this comes down?
I wonder if the Artwork has a Cask of Amontillado look about it. If not, there needs to be a white removal spell based on The Cask, as it's a horror classic!

Yeah, but the problem is you cannot re-equip it after that hits the board, which is kinda the real problem
So very very very much better than Null Rod in Vintage fish decks w/ White in them. Not having your mana denial piece be vulnerable to maindeck shop hate is soooo good.

Equipping is an activated ability, so it would shut that off.
as for ETB and die abilities, those are both triggered abilities, which are not affected.
Hmmm, interesting card. Definitely a toy for the haters. This'll see much sideboard action. It'll also be maindecked, as pure hate, in Commander (EDH for the classically trained).
And people think that Wizards doesn't print excessive hosers anymore. Sheesh, Null Rod is one of the best there was! And now it is an enchantment! It is only for white, but still....a very solid card but one I had not hoped to see in Standard with Mirrodin...

Well if any one was wishing if tez would be a good deck post rotation. This is your answer. It also shuts down swords which i am not looking forward to.
Pro-token/anti-Ratchet Bomb, yes? Does this absolutely hammer all of the Scars block based decks that were looking to blossom after Zen block rotates, or am I reading this thing wrong.
Edit: Activated, static and triggered...I need to pay more attention.
Keeps DFCs safe from Ratchet Bomb, wrecks Puresteel in every way, slows down Pod unless they can ramp into Slimes before you overwhelm or outpace them.
Oh, and it stops some shenanigans in those other formats with artifacts, too.

Actually I take that back I need seven. Four for standard and Three for my EDH decks
Looks like I found my hoser against Pod Decks! Now I just need an answer to tempered steel in White/Blue Humans... Day of Judgement Maybe and board recover with that new U/W land?
I think it confirms that WotC is giving Human weenie all the tools it needs to assert itself in Standard.
Abilities of artifacts can't be activated:
So come into play effects e.g. Peace Strider still work?
Wurmcoil would still give 2 wurm tokens on death?
Inkfox Aesthetics by Xen
Yes, because those decks can't run green or white and have access to enchantment kill.
Yes there both triggered abilities
Er, it shuts down YOUR pod too...

Yes, as those are Trigger Effects. Things like Scepter of Empires won't be usable, but Myr Battlesphere can still do both its things.

He's being sarcastic.
Anyways this is a great card. Take that Spellskite!
Thanks to Heroes of the Plane Studios for the amazing sig.

Yes, those would still work; they aren't activated abilities, rather triggered abilities.
On spoiled card wishlisting and 'should-have-had'-isms:
Edit: Activated, static and triggered...I need to pay more attention.
Insert witty phrase here
Oh, and it stops some shenanigans in those other formats with artifacts, too.
on the plus side, I am so very happy swords will be kept in check.
This also shuts down batterskull shenanigans, this could have an impact in legacy.
