If Draven's Spinning Axe is unequipped at the start of the Beginning Phase (triggering its temporary effect to die), but then Angle Shot is played as a reaction to equip it before the effect resolves, does the axe still die?

Answer

Ruling: Yes, the Spinning Axe still dies. The temporary effect already triggered when the axe was unattached at the Beginning Phase, and equipping it afterward does not prevent the effect from resolving.

Sequence:

  • Spinning Axe is unequipped at start of Beginning Phase
  • Temporary trigger activates and goes on the stack
  • Reaction window opens
  • Angle Shot is played to equip the axe
  • Temporary effect resolves and the axe dies

Nuances:

  • Being unattached is only a condition for the trigger, not for the resolution
  • The effect does not fizzle even though the axe's state changed after triggering
