Official Rulings (2)

2011-01-01
Whenever a player casts an artifact spell, Golem’s Heart’s ability triggers and goes on the stack on top of it. It will resolve before the artifact spell does.
2011-01-01
Unlike Golem Foundry and the Smith cycle, Golem’s Heart’s ability triggers whenever any player casts an artifact spell, not just when you do.
