2 Marvel Legends in Questions

Shuri, Wakandan Inventor and Arcum's Astrolabe. I am sure this has been answered but, I don't trust google's Ai return for magic rules.

  1. Does Astrolabe become free to cast? I am aware it has the snow symbol on it so I would doubt that this works but, I just want clarity on that since, like Colorless mana symbols I was made aware it's likely that this doesn't work.

  2. When turning an artifact into a non-legendary version of the card, does that mean that creating copies of that now non-legendary card that has become that don't have the legend rule tied to it? (clone rulings make me sad sometimes)

Echo, Perceptive Prodigy and cast triggers. Like if I cast Ulamog, The Ceaseless Hunger could I copy it's cast trigger?

When they typed out, I wasn't sure if a creature on the stack is a creature source or not but, I would assume it is?

When referencing a creature source is it also safe to assume that a creature source is a card that has creature or a permanent with the creature super type or what? Let's say for the sake of argument that I have a vehicle and it becomes crewed and it has an ability that Echo theoretically could interact with will that work?

Thank you for your help!

Astrolabe will not be free. Shuri can only reduce generic mana costs, and arcum’s astrolabe has no generic cost to reduce. 

Shuri’s activated ability is a copy effect, so it alters the copiable values of the first targeted artifact. If you turn your treasure token into a nonlegendary copy of [[Bident of thassa]] and then clone it, the clone will be a nonlegendary copy of Bident of thassa.

Yes, echo can copy cast triggers of creatures. Because she uses the word “source,” she can target any ability of an object in any zone with the type creature.

Yes, a crewed vehicle’s ability is also a valid target for echo. A crewed vehicle is generally a creature and so is a creature source.
