Flying When this creature enters, you may return target artifact card from your graveyard to your hand.

How it works : Sanctum Gargoyle

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The only difference between a colored artifact and a colorless artifact is, obviously, its color. Unlike most artifacts, a colored artifact requires colored mana to cast. Also unlike most artifacts, a colored artifact has a color in all zones. It will interact with cards that care about color. Other than that, a colored artifact behaves just like any other artifact. It will interact as normal with any card that cares about artifacts, such as Shatter or Arcbound Ravager.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
