Good Flavor, will ruin the day for an artifact deck... Now how do I get rid of it?

I run Esper, and I shudder at the thought of finding this card anywhere.

4/5.

My pet artifact deck fears nothing except this card. A turn-4 Darksteel Colossus is only worth anything if it can move.

So if you have this out, do your other artifacts untap as it untaps, or does this have to be untapped at the beginning of the untap step?

Nobody has mentioned Mycosinth Lattice yet?! With that out you can tap everything your opponnents has and skip his turn ;D

I have an artifact hate EDH deck. This card is definitely one of the more useful cards in it. It's amazing how many people rely heavily on artifacts in this format; this one card can cause enough grief to make people scoop.

Play it, tap everything down. Opponents play something new, or find ways of untapping their artifacts, bounce it or drop a voltaic key or something that can untap it, then tap it again and re-lock everything down. This thing is brutal. Fatestitcher with something like Instill Energy or Umbral Mantle, and Mycosynth Lattice and it's pretty much game over.

Is it possible to tap artifact that dont need to be tapped to do his job, like Spellnook or Semblance Anvil?

Unwinding Clock laughs at your feigned attempt to shut me down.

In 1v1, unwinding clock is no defense against this. You will untap during my turn, and then I will retap you, and you cant untap during your turn.

This was made to deal with the CRAZY artifact decks that came out of the previous block...the best block...URZA BLOCK!

I was playing a guy who literally had a five-color affinity with artifacts deck that ran literally nothing besides artifacts.
And I had this in my sideboard.

"You may choose not to untap Kill Switch during your untap step." Ah, but if it said that, it would be banned in all sorts of things.
