Mightstone's Animation is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Enchant artifact When this Aura enters, draw a card. Enchanted artifact is a creature with base power and toughness 4/4 in addition to its other types.
How it works : Mightstone's Animation
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The artifact retains any types, subtypes, or supertypes it has. Notably, an Equipment that becomes an artifact creature usually can't be attached to another creature. If it was attached to a creature, it becomes unattached.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If the artifact was already a creature, its base power and toughness will each become 4. 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 Mightstone's Animation becomes attached to the artifact will overwrite this effect.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Effects that modify a creature's power and/or toughness, such as the ones created by Giant Growth, will apply to the creature no matter when they started to take effect. The same is true for any counters that change its power and/or toughness and effects that switch power and toughness.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
The resulting artifact creature will be able to attack on your turn if it's been under your control continuously since the turn began. That is, it doesn't matter how long it's been a creature, just how long it's been on the battlefield.
No other card is named in this ruling.
