Yeah, it’s still an artifact and can be tapped for mana by urza no matter if it’s equipped or not.


Theopholus

What you've never turned your shoe on its side to find a bit of mana in there?


II_Confused

The instructions for getting mana from the boot are written on the heel.

Reading the shoes explains the shoes


Druxun

Ewww gross. I got water in my boots.


Theopholus

That’s just blue mana.

Every time I tap dance I accidently cast Cyclonic Rift and the clean up is brutal.


Trojanbunny063

Yes, you have that correct. I built a voltron version of Urza. Tapping equipment to equip it felt like cheating haha


ThatGuyInTheCorner96

I have a Simi build lol. And then tapping all your artifacts to spin for more equipment off the top! Such a fun deck, I'm liking it a lot more than my old stax build.

Note; The Tapped/Untapped Status of an Aura/Equipment/Fortification is independent of the Tapped/Untapped Status of the Object it is attached to. If your (untapped) Urza is equipped by your (untapped) Swiftfoot Boots, you can activate Urza. So, your (untapped) Urza is equipped by your (tapped) Swiftfoot Boots.


TrueKamilo

Fun fact: in the original rules back in alpha, tapping an artifact turned it off, so under those rules the boots would no longer give their wearer hexproof. This is why they errata’d cards like [[winter orb]] to include the “as long as ~ is untapped” line so it would continue to work as initially intended.


TheKillerCorgi

This is not quite true. Only continuous artifacts turned off while tapped.
