What the codes mean
The small print at the bottom of the Fifth Edition card (#102).
Printed before collector numbers, which started with Exodus in 1998. The bottom shows only the artist credit ("Illus.") and the copyright. Set symbols were all black before Exodus, and core sets before Sixth Edition have none.

Rulings (4)
October 4, 2004
You may target an untapped artifact with this ability.
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.
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.
October 1, 2008
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.
