Does Masterful Replication affect only the Artifacts on the Field when casted?

Asked by DeathBySprnkles 4 years ago

I have Master Replication in my Commander deck along with a Myr Turbine. The scenario that thought about was if I used Master Replication and chose Myr Turbine, would only the existing artifacts that were on the Field be affected when the card was casted, or would I be able to tap the Turbines, making a myr tokens thus making them into turbines and having an infinite amount of turbines?

Please link all cards in your question using double brackets.

Masterful Replication

Myr Turbine

It only affects artifacts on the battlefield as it resolves. The easy way to tell if permanents that enter the battlefield later in the turn will be affected is to think about if the properties of a group of permanents were affected or if the rules of the game were. Masterful Replication changes the properties of permanents, so it only affects permanents that already exist. Destructive Tampering 's second mode changes the rules of the game for a turn. So even creatures without flying that enter the battlefield later that turn can't block.
