@Tavaritz: The difference is that Covetous Dragon has a triggered ability to tell you to sacrifice it, while Maro's ability merely changes its toughness. If I play Polymorph on an artifact creature when its the only one I control, then I temporarily control no artifacts and so the dragon's sacrifice trigger activates. I can get another artifact creature off of the Polymorph but it won't help since his sacrifice trigger is already on the stack. If I use a Wheel of Fortune effect while I have a Maro creature out, Maro's toughness would become 0 after I discard my hand but before I draw a new one. However, creatures don't get sent to the graveyard for having 0 toughness during the resolution of an effect, and by the time the Wheel of Fortune finishes resolving I have cards in my hand again so its toughness is greater than 0.

Wow a great dragon! In Urza's days they were a lot of good artifacts to play in any deck, Masticore, Karn, Voltaic Key, Monolit..so the sacrifice couldn't happen in a normal game

Mycosynth Lattice. Also Hellkite Tyrant makes this guy cry.

What I meant was that a single attack from the Tyrant ruins this guy's day.

This Scoria Elemental has felt very attached to artifacts ever since it had two Ornithopters glued to it...
