- October 1, 2008
You tap the artifact when you lose control of it for any reason — because Magus of the Unseen’s effect ends, or because a spell or ability causes another player to gain control of it.

The artifact will gain haste whether or not it’s a creature. Of course, if it’s not a creature, haste will have no particular effect.

You may target an untapped artifact with this ability.
Source: wotc - October 4, 2004
The artifact taps after returning to the opponent (if it is not already tapped), so any abilities triggered off it tapping happen at that time.

Price History
To study a single card is to glimpse the heart of a spell - a frozen moment of ambition, artistry, and arcane intent. Within each glyph lies a spark: a story untold, a duel turned, a destiny altered. Treat it not as mere parchment, dear seeker, but as a shard of the Multiverse itself.
