The Mechanist, Aerial Artisan
Legendary Creature — Human Artificer Ally
"We're just in the process of improving upon what's already here."
Rulings (6)
The Mechanist, Aerial Artisan's activated ability doesn't remove any abilities the target artifact token has. The artifact token also retains any types, subtypes, and supertypes other than creature types.
Clue tokens are artifact tokens with " 2 generic mana , Sacrifice this token: Draw a card."
If the artifact token was already a creature, its base power and toughness will become 3/1. This overwrites any previous effects that set the creature's base power and toughness to specific values. Any power- or toughness-setting effects that start to apply after The Mechanist, Aerial Artisan's ability resolves will overwrite this effect.
