Destroy equipment attached to a creature?
Asked by astralhydra 6 years ago
Say I have a Serra Angel equiped with Whispersilk Cloak so I have a 4/4 swinging every turn with perfect immunity. Wouldn't it be easier for my opponent to just destroy the equipment though? Or would they have to find a way around the problem?
If that's the case, then I only assume that you would have to destroy a creature before destroying the unequipped artifact.
I just got back into magic recently and built a pretty decent deck that has a few equipment based wincons. I wouldn't want to lose because I wasn't being careful enough in my plays.

Lots of ways to deal with this type of interaction.
They can destroy your equipment at any time, they can destroy your creature in response to you trying to equip to it with a targeted spell or anytime afterwards with a spell that doesn't target.

The cards do exactly what they say. Your opponent would be able to Shatter Whispersilk Cloak and then Doom Blade Serra Angel. The problem is often times decks will not have artifact removal in the main deck, relegating it to the sideboard instead. Another possible answer to the angel would be an effect like Wrath of God to destroy it through the shroud. Again though, board wipes are typically side board cards. How your opponents will deal with your threats can vary greatly, if you're just playing kitchen table magic with friends, likely none of you will have side boards, but your decks will evolve to your personal metagame and have answers "preboarded" to deal with major threats.
