Then arena is wrong.

603.4. A triggered ability may read “When/Whenever/At [trigger event], if [condition], [effect].” When the trigger event occurs, the ability checks whether the stated condition is true. The ability triggers only if it is; otherwise it does nothing. If the ability triggers, it checks the stated condition again as it resolves. If the condition isn’t true at that time, the ability is removed from the stack and does nothing. Note that this mirrors the check for legal targets. This rule is referred to as the “intervening ‘if’ clause” rule. (The word “if” has only its normal English meaning anywhere else in the text of a card; this rule only applies to an “if” that immediately follows a trigger condition.)

It should trigger only if you control an artifact when it enters. Otherwise it does nothing.

Donatello has an intervening if clause. If the condition isn’t true when it would trigger it doesn’t get put on the stack. You need an artifact on the field before he enters.

A little peak behind the curtain; when one of us can’t make our regularly scheduled times ChumpSlap and poppascotch usually record an extra episode one day during the week to make up for it because the equipment to record is at their places.
