Eep. Clunky wording. One of the forgotten victims of the rules being made to actually work. That said, while Artifact Possession does have its uses, it's not exactly a power card which anyone's likely to lose sleep over the fact they can't grok it.

One of the many narrow artifact-based cards in Antiquities, this one far too overcosted...The flavor text also suggests that this card should have been reworked as a creature...

The reason it's so crappy is that it's one of the only black cards that can deal with artifacts in any way. Mono-colored decks were much more common back then.
Wimpy, but black has such a hard time with artifacts, so that is not surprising.

Ah, yes. Thraxodemons. I know what those are. *googles.* A person on OKCupid and Myspace? Wut? Only other mention of "Thraxodemon" is right on this card here. Yet the flavor text is trying to make it out to be the black mage's common tool.

The card has a narrow effect AND it has a low power level. I really like the card art though :)

This was how black dealt with artifacts back then, "cursing" them. The concept actually made a comeback in the Mirrodin block.
