Description

The Blackstaff of Waterdeep (AFR 48) is a legendary artifact from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. It can remain tapped through your untap step by choice and has an activated ability that taps it to turn another nontoken artifact you control into a 4/4 artifact creature until The Blackstaff remains tapped. That creature animation requires paying {1}{U} and can only be activated as a sorcery, supporting artifact-based strategies or creature tokens conversion.
