If I deal combat damage with a creature equipped with my opponent's Sword of Feast and Famine would he get to untap his lands?
Asked by Cakestrife 14 years ago
So i was in FNM with my BRampires Deck...and when playing against the most deadly boros deck ever (it had vampire hate written all over it, since my local meta is full of vampires.) So he had a creature equiped wth the sword of F & F and i used mark of mutiny on it, and attacked. then he told me that HE would be the one that gets to untap his lands since i control the creature, but the equipment is still his... is this true? i need to know, and if someone could and the rule that says so, i would help a lot, since i have noted that the dont understand completely certain rules of magic, like the fact that there is no more battle damage stack since M10

301.5d An Equipment's controller is separate from the equipped creature's controller; the two need not be the same. Changing control of the creature doesn't change control of the Equipment, and vice versa. Only the Equipment's controller can activate its abilities. However, if the Equipment grants an ability to the equipped creature (with "gains" or "has"), the equipped creature's controller is the only one who can activate that ability.

Mark of Mutiny
Unfourtunatly, he's right. I'm to lazy to find the exact rule, but the untap your lands is an triggered ability belonging to the sword and the creature it's equipped to does not gain the ability, unlike, say,Adventuring Gear .
