When somebody deactivates an Artifact, does the effect end right away or last until end of turn? Case in point, my opponent has an Altar of Ahaz active:
Altar of Ahaz
Type: Artifact • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect all Lost Souls from rescue by Dominants. Discard this card if a human Hero rescues a Lost Soul from your territory. • Identifiers: OT, Depicts an Evil Altar, False Religious Practice • Verse: II Kings 16:11 • Availability: Priests booster packs (Ultra Rare)
He deactivates and activates Tables of the Law:
Tables of the Law
Type: Artifact • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Holder may keep up to ten cards in hand instead of eight. • Identifiers: OT, Tabernacle Item, Temple Item • Verse: Exodus 24:12 • Availability: Warriors booster packs (Uncommon) and G Deck
Can he then immediately play SoG and NJ to win the game or does he have to wait until my turn? I know its a moot point in this case because his dominants can be played at any time but I was just curious how artifact abilities resolve for future games.

When Tables of the Law is activated, Alter of Ahaz's ability ceases to be in effect. He can play SoG/NJ.

The same goes for any artifact being played in a similar situation.
