Check firstMarketplaces do not agree, so this price is harder to trust until listings and recent sales line up.
Activated abilities of artifacts your opponents control can't be activated. +1: Until your next turn, up to one target noncreature artifact becomes an artifact creature with power and toughness each equal to its mana value. −2: You may reveal an artifact card you own from outside the game or choose a face-up artifact card you own in exile. Put that card into your hand.

Sources, methodology, and disclosureOpen
NeoPrice and Pricing Confidence use the existing NeoCardAlpha methodology. CardTrader is the inventory source, TCGplayer is the primary pricing source, and Card Kingdom is validation-only.
NeoCardAlpha may earn a commission from certain marketplace links.
Card Kingdom retail validation is visible when a matching product is available, but it remains a validation source.
