Equipments and Aura's and control.

Asked by TassleMagik 13 years ago

If I have an equipment, say, kiteshield, and an aura, like Angelic Destiny, on a single creature, and an opponent takes control of the creature, do the equipment and enchantment both go with the creature?

Kite Shield oops.

They remain attached to the creature, yes. You still own the equipment and aura, however, so your opponent cannot move the shield to one of his own creatures. During your next main phase, you can equip the shield to one of your own creatures, but there's not much you can do about auras.

Also note that if the aura says, "Enchant Creature you control" then it will become unattached from the creature as a state-based-action when you lose control of the creature, and then be put into the graveyard.

Basically, as long as it's legal for them to remain on the creature, they will stay there, even if control of the creature changes.

Only an effects that make the creature change zones, like to your hand, library, graveyard, or exile, will cause auras or equipment to become unattached. But you do still have control over the equipment and can move it at any time you have priority.

Of course, the equip ability can only be activated at sorcery speed and will restrict your ability to move it off of the creature they stole.
