Its ability to remain tapped or untapped at your discretion offers strategic flexibility, allowing you to time your plays precisely. At just one blue mana and a generic mana cost, it lets you animate another nontoken artifact into a 4\/4 artifact creature, turning your otherwise inert equipment or utility artifacts into potent threats. This effect lasts as long as The Blackstaff stays tapped, demanding careful resource management and timing during your turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for decks that lean heavily on artifact synergies, The Blackstaff of Waterdeep pairs well with cards like \u003ci\u003eWalking Statue\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eMishra’s Bauble\u003c\/i\u003e, adding unexpected muscle to your board presence. The limitation of activating only as a sorcery encourages thoughtful planning, rewarding players who master pacing in mid-to-late game scenarios. Whether you’re playing control or a toolbox artifact deck, this card offers a unique way to turn the tide by animating your artifact arsenal into resilient defenders or attackers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCard Details:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMana Cost:\u003c\/b\u003e {1}{U}\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCard Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Legendary Artifact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSubtypes:\u003c\/b\u003e —\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCard Text:\u003c\/b\u003e You may choose not to untap The Blackstaff of Waterdeep during your untap step.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eAnimate Walking Statue\u003c\/i\u003e — {1}{U}, {T}: Another target nontoken artifact you control becomes a 4\/4 artifact creature for as long as The Blackstaff of Waterdeep remains tapped.
