equipping yourself to oneself

Asked by koylucumert 1 year ago

ok so this is a potentially relevant interaction in standard right now. lets say I have a Kemba, Kha Enduring and I play Lion Sash. what happens if I target kembas etb ability to the lion sash (trying to equip the sash to itself)?

Nothing will happen. An Equipment creature, whether it's reconfigured, animated, or something else, can't equip itself.

legendofa is correct. Here's the relevant ruling

301.5c An Equipment that’s also a creature can’t equip a creature unless that Equipment has reconfigure (see rule 702.151, “Reconfigure”). An Equipment that loses the subtype “Equipment” can’t equip a creature. An Equipment can’t equip itself. An Equipment that equips an illegal or nonexistent permanent becomes unattached from that permanent but remains on the battlefield. (This is a state-based action. See rule 704.) An Equipment can’t equip more than one creature. If a spell or ability would cause an Equipment to equip more than one creature, the Equipment’s controller chooses which creature it equips.
