Tapped aritfact Rule

[waffles]

Does tapping artifacts turn off their effects still? E.g. winter orb, armageddon clock, omen machine. i remember it use to, cause when playing the old winter orb prison deck i would tap the orb to reset my lands.


Card Name: Winter Orb
 
Mana Cost: 2
 Types: Artifact
 Card Text: Players can't untap more than one land during their untap steps.

Omen Machine

Converted Mana Cost: 6
 Types: Artifact


 Card Text:

Players can't draw cards.

At the beginning of each player's draw step, that player exiles the top card of his or her library. If it's a land card, the player puts it onto the battlefield. Otherwise, the player casts it without paying its mana cost if able.

That rule no longer exists (I believe it was removed in 6th edition).

The cards works exactly as printed.

Oh okay. Found howling mine and static orb are the only ones that retained that funtionality.

Trinisphere, too, though it was always printed with that caveat on it. Always fun to catch your inexperienced shops opponent with their pants down under a tangle wire
