If you respond to Spinning Axe's temporary trigger by equipping it using Angle Shoot, is the Axe killed when the temporary trigger resolves?

Ruling: Yes, the Spinning Axe is killed when the temporary trigger resolves.

Sequence:

• Spinning Axe's temporary trigger goes on the stack
• In response, you use Angle Shoot to equip Spinning Axe
• Angle Shoot resolves, equipping the Axe
• The temporary trigger resolves and kills the Axe despite it now being equipped

Nuances:

• The trigger will still resolve normally even though the Axe's state has changed
• There is nothing preventing the trigger from working on the now-equipped Axe
