🖋️ Curator's Notes
When this creature enters, create a tapped Powerstone token. (It's an artifact with "T: Add C. This mana can't be spent to cast a nonartifact spell.")

"Automatons could be rebuilt. Powerstones could not."

⚖️

Official Judge Precedents

3 Precedents

You can use the {C} added by a Powerstone token on anything that isn't a nonartifact spell. This includes paying costs to activate abilities of both artifact and nonartifact permanents, paying ward costs, and so on.

Powerstone tokens are a kind of predefined token. Each one has the artifact subtype "Powerstone" and the ability "{T}: Add {C}. This mana can't be spent to cast a nonartifact spell."

Although all the cards in The Brothers' War that create Powerstone tokens create a tapped Powerstone token, entering the battlefield tapped isn't part of the token's definition. Notably, if you create a token that is a copy of a Powerstone token, the token copy won't enter the battlefield tapped.
