EDHREC Rank #23,853

Put two +1/+1 counters on target artifact, creature, or land you control. Untap that permanent. If it isn't a creature, it becomes a 0/0 creature in addition to its other types.

While his master tried to surpass nature, Tawnos aimed to capture its beauty.

Tawnos's Tinkering doesn't grant haste, so if a noncreature permanent that entered the battlefield since the beginning of your upkeep becomes a creature this way, it can't attack until your next turn. Any activated abilities that it has with a tap symbol in their cost also can't be activated until your next upkeep step. Notably, this means a land that entered the battlefield after your last upkeep can't be tapped for mana if it becomes a creature this way.

If an artifact or land that becomes a creature this way has been on the battlefield since the beginning of your upkeep (even if it wasn't a creature at the time), it can attack during your turn and its abilities may be activated.
