Can Sculpting Steel still work after being imprinted by Prototype Portal?

Asked by BrennanH 4 years ago

I have a friend who doesn't think this works and I dont see why it wouldn't. Prototype Portal imprints from my hand Sculpting Steel I pay the three mana and bring out a copy of Sculpting Steel, as it inters the battlefield I may choose an artifact in play and it becomes a copy of that artifact. So can sculpting steel still be able to us its inter the battlefield ability?

Yes, that works. Sculpting Steel has an ability that allows you to make it become a copy of another artifact as it enters the battlefield. As the token created by the Prototype Portal in your example enters the battlefield, you can have it become a copy of another artifact.

This works the way you think it does.

When Prototype Portal creates a token copy of the imprinted card, that token enters the battlefield. This does implicate the copied Sculpting Steel's replacement effect, allowing you to copy an artifact that is in play with the token.
