This card has been returned to its original functionality. If it is enchanting an artifact that's already a creature, it won't change its power and toughness.
8/1/2008
A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its  abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of his or her most recent turn. It doesn't matter how long the permanent has been a creature.
