Any Contraption that's on the battlefield and wasn't assembled immediately heads to the scrapyard. However, if it's a not an actual Contraption card (like Copy Artifact isn't), it goes to your graveyard as normal. Non-Contraption cards can't be in the scrapyard.

If you or a permanent you control assembles a Contraption and your Contraption deck is empty, nothing happens. You don't lose the game.

Contraptions aren't put into your main deck. They go into a separate deck called the Contraption deck.
