Can I use Lightning Greaves in response
Asked by Redcat7264 4 years ago
Let’s say I had Lightning Greaves attached to one of my two creatures and someone attempts to let’s say Path to Exile the creature who does not have the greaves. Could I move the greaves over to negate the target of my creature?

Equip abilities can only be activated as sorceries (in other words, during your main phase and if the stack is empty), so no. See the reminder text on... Pretty much any equipment that has reminder text. Bone Saw , Shuko , Fleetfeather Sandals , etc. Some equipment like Cranial Plating , however, have additional activated abilities without the sorcery-speed restriction in addition to their equip abilities. Also, if you had a creature like Brass Squire with an instant-speed activated ability, you could pull this off. And of course, Leonin Shikari explicitly gets rid of this restriction.
