Equipment on non-creature permanents ?

Hello !

Just a quick question: If an equipment is attached to a creature and
later the creature becomes a non-creature permanent by any means, does
the equipment stay attached to it or does it "fall off" ?


Thanks in advance,

M.G.Palmer

It falls off.

| 420.5k An Equipment that equips an illegal or nonexistent permanent
| stops equipping that permanent but remains in play.

It falls off; a noncreature permanent is illegal for an Equipment to be
attached to. The Equipment becomes unattached and is now Just An Artifact.

It would fall off, since it's no longer equipping a legal permanent
(equipment can inherently only equip creatures). It's much like if you
put a creature enchantment on something that stops being a creature,
except that the equipment does remain in play.
