Description

The Blackstaff of Waterdeep (AFR 48, foil) is a legendary artifact from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. It can remain tapped by choice and has an activated ability that, for {1}{U} and tapping, turns another target nontoken artifact you control into a 4/4 artifact creature while The Blackstaff remains tapped and only as a sorcery. This card supports artifact-based creature strategies by animating existing artifacts to become temporary blockers or attackers.
