Description

The Blackstaff of Waterdeep (AFR 365) is a legendary artifact from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms with a converted mana cost of 1. It can remain tapped through your untap step by choice and has an activated ability for {1}{U}, {T} that makes another nontoken artifact you control into a 4/4 artifact creature while The Blackstaff remains tapped, usable only as a sorcery. This card supports artifact-based creature strategies by animating other artifacts to serve as creatures while it is tapped.
