Card Text

Sacrifice an artifact. If you do, search your library for an artifact card. If that card's mana value is less than or equal to the sacrificed artifact's mana value, put it onto the battlefield. If it's greater, you may pay {X}, where X is the difference. If you do, put it onto the battlefield. If you don't, put it into its owner's graveyard. Then shuffle.

The sacrifice of an artifact is an effect of the spell, not a cost, which means it happens as the spell resolves. If Transmute Artifact is countered, you do not have to sacrifice an artifact.

Additional mana spent to cover the differences in mana costs is not part of the mana cost of this spell. It is spent during spell resolution.

Wotc — October 04, 2004

The one from the library enters when the spell is resolved, and this does not count as the casting of an artifact.

Wotc — October 04, 2004

You can't sacrifice more than one artifact to this spell.

Wotc — October 04, 2004

If the chosen artifact costs less than or the same as the sacrificed artifact, you simply put it onto the battlefield without paying any additional costs.

Wotc — October 04, 2004

Because the "search" requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don't have to find the card if you don't want to.
