Can an artifact equiptment be atached to the same creature more than once?
Asked by zmissy101 13 years ago
so i was wondering can you equip the same creature with the same artifact equipment more than once?????
sweet so as long as you pay the mana cost to equip then you can stack the same equipment on one creature! thats so awesome!

No. It doesn't work that way. Let's say you have a Llanowar Elf in play, and a Trusty Machete. You can equip it once. Then the creature is equipped. The only way to remove the equipment form the creature is by equipping it to another creature you control, or if the creature dies. Otherwise it is permanently equipped.

That's true...my example did lack the prerequisite amounts of creatures to allow lots of equipping and wasting of mana.
Thanks for clarifying that. We don't want the lawnmower elves to die. That's so sad when it happens. They never hurt anyone.
...well...as long as you don't snap any twigs in their forest...

Well. Once a creature is equipped, there is no way to unequip it without either a card that says so or one or the other of the permanents leaving the battlefield. You can target the Llanowar Elves with the equip ability, but it doesn't do jack other than burn mana sideways, and it's only sorcery speed. You can't pay the equip cost to unequip the equipment.

if you are looking to just equip something for added ability pluses and you do have 2 creatures out, depending on if you play older than standard Shuko is awesome. just thought i would throw that out if you played legacy and had a combo that added each time something was equiped

If you mean can I attach Trusty Machete to Llanowar Elves more than once? Then the answer is yes...for any instance.
You simply pay the equip cost again and the creature becomes unequipped with the equipment and then equipped again.
I guess you could do it if you simply wanted to waste mana.
If you mean can you attach 2 trusy machetes to the elf? Then that is also yes.
Just keep in mind that in the first example the bonus is lost when the equipment is unequipped and regained when it is equipped again.
The second example would have a cumulative effect. stacking the + bonuses for each machete.
