Totems and Grafts
Asked by ThinkJank 7 years ago
So let's say I equip a Grafted Wargear onto a Thunder Totem. When the totem stops being a creature at the end of turn, the equipment falls off. Do I then sacrifice the totem?

You will still have to sacrifice the permanent. The original wording on the card definitely leaves the question open, but the oracle text for the card answers it.
Whenever Grafted Wargear becomes unattached from a permanent, sacrifice that permanent.

Yes. The Oracle text on Grafted Wargear now says "Whenever Grafted Wargear becomes unattached from a permanent, sacrifice that permanent," not "sacrifice that creature," because if the creature stops being a creature (as in your example), the equipment will become unattached and trigger. I actually had this scenario happen at the New Phyrexia pre-release many years ago with a Grafted Exoskeleton (which was printed with the updated wording of "permanent") equipped to a Glint Hawk Idol.
