How do you all feel about this card? I like that its so versatile and at a low CMC. I didn't see an SCD for this card, so I thought I would get a fresh take on it.
Pros:
You can double your artifact mana, or double your Myr Battlespheres. You can copy your opponent's sword or blow up their Jitte. It just seems like a solid addition but even better in a power cube.
Cons:
Can't really think of anything off the top of my head.

Lack of relevant targets, In reality you might sit with the card in your hand for a very long time and do nothing with it. Now compare this to Phyrexian metamorph which can do that AND copy creatures. There is no comparison.
Well, the Metamorph is in a league of its own. Even staples like Phantasmal Image don't stack up too well when compared to it. I consider the Copy Artifact to be a slightly better Sculpting Steel.
Repost from another thread:
I cut Sculpting Steel not too long ago, but one mana's difference is big. Consider how many of the cube's most powerful artifacts cost three or more mana. Copy Artifact allows you to "cheat" on their cost in the same way that Phantasmal Image allows you to cheat on copying creatures. You get to double up on stuff like Swords, fatties, Living Weapons (hi there Batterskull!) at a pretty ridiculous discount, or get a huge tempo gain on your opponent by matching their artifact with a cheaper version. Even copying a signet or mana rock is good since you're not overpaying for the effect like Sculpting Steel.
I think its good, even just copying your opponents turn 2 mana rock is worth it. And sometimes you get a Batterskull, kill a Jitte or copy a sundering titan/duplicant etc. Id say its ok at 500+

Digging this up! Copy artifact has always been a favorite for me and it performs well in my cube, just wondering thoughts out there on it. Lots of powerful equipment, creatures, and other cool shenanigans that this guy copies and makes for some fun game situations.
I find regular clone effects to be too situational, cannot see Copy Artifact not being a dead card a large portion of the time. For example, copying equipment from your side of the table is probably overkill, and probably useless to control decks no matter which side of the table it copied from.

Seems fine but I wouldn't want to play it in small cubes, or even most larger cubes.
