Expansion ABU(U)
Text(ABU+errata):{2}: ~this~ becomes a 3/6 artifact creature until end of combat. Play this ability only during combat. [Oracle 2001/08/24]
It can only be a creature during combat phases and therefore it is difficult to get creature enchantments placed on it. [PPG Page 223]
It is legal to power it up even if it is already a creature. This will have no additional effect since it will just change its base power/toughness to 3/6, which it already will be. It does not override other power/toughness changing effects. [D'Angelo 2000/03/03]
It is subject to summoning sickness (see Rule G.37) and cannot attack unless it started your turn under your control. [WotC Rules Team 1994/04/01]
If Animate Artifact is used on it, you get a 4/4 artifact creature which becomes a 3/6 artifact creature during an attack phase if 2 mana are spent. [bethmo 1994/06/01] While animated, it can have enchantments placed on it. Once the Animate Artifact is removed, all Enchant Creatures will be removed because they no longer apply.
