Can Renowned Weaponsmith help with morphed artifact creatures?

Asked by JoJaBi 9 years ago

Could you spend the mana produced by Renowned Weaponsmith's first ability to morph a Witness of the Ages? The ability is printed on an artifact but the creature isn't an artifact when it's morphed so I'm not sure what the answer is.

Not to Morph the Witness of the Ages, but if you were hardcasting it you can use that mana to help cast it.

If you are casting a creature spell face down, it isn't an artifact spell, so the Weaponsmith can't help you pay for it. Turning a creature face up isn't an activated ability, so the Weaponsmith can't help you pay for it.

There is no interaction between the Renowned Weaponsmith and artifacts with morph.

Ah yes, of course, morphing isn't an activated ability. Thanks!
