Null Rod, Artifact, designed by Anson Maddocks first released in Jun, 1997 in the set Weatherlight and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
A deck that aims to disrupt opponents relying heavily on activated abilities from artifacts, such as artifact-based combo decks or decks with powerful artifact creatures like Tron or Affinity in Modern, would benefit from including Null Rod. While Null Rod is a strong choice for shutting down artifact strategies, some decks may prefer Stony Silence for its broader reach in disabling all artifact abilities, making it a potentially better option depending on the specific metagame and deck strategy. Ultimately, the decision to include Null Rod or another card like Stony Silence would depend on the current meta and the specific needs of the deck, but Null Rod definitely has its place in certain artifact-heavy matchups.

This effect does not prevent triggered abilities from triggering and it doesn’t stop the effects of static abilities.

This covers only artifacts that are on the battlefield.
