Used up Artifacts and DoN?

If I use up an Artifact, can an opponent use DoN to negate it, or is DoN unable to target the Artifact because it is discarded as a result of being used up?
May you prosper greatly!

I don't have time to find the REG quote, but when a limited-use artifact is used for the final time, it is immediately discarded.  Therefore, it would be too late to DoN it.

I confirm this. There was a thread about that recently, but I don't care to find it or the REG quote.

I agree.  A limited use Artifact with an instant ability is discarded as soon as it reaches it's last use.  Holy Grail and Unholy Writ are good examples.

A limited use Artifact with an ongoing ability is not discarded until it's final use is completed.  Burial Shroud for example is not discarded until your next prep phase following it's second activation.

The relevant REG quote:

Quote
Some artifacts, covenants, or curses have a limited number of times you can use them. When these come to an end, you must discard them immediately. Once such an artifact, covenant, or curse is activated, it must be counted as having been used. This is true even if other events duplicate the effect of the artifac, covenant, or curse during the turn.
The most profound thing I have learned in gaming, if you are not losing, your opponent isn't winning
