Junkyard Genius
Creature — Human Artificer
Oracle Text
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.")
{1}{B}{R}, Sacrifice another creature or artifact: Until end of turn, other creatures you control get +1/+0 and gain menace and haste.
Watch Out
This card's ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, not when it's cast. Effects that double ETB triggers (like Panharmonicon) work here. Countering the spell prevents the creature from entering, so the ETB won't fire.
If this card's activated ability produces mana and doesn't target, it's a mana ability. Mana abilities resolve immediately without using the stack — opponents can't respond to them. However, abilities that target (even if they produce mana) aren't mana abilities.
