Does Quick-Draw create two triggers to respond to (one for playing it and one for the attach)?

Ruling: Quick-Draw creates only one trigger that you can respond to. When you play a Quick-Draw equipment, it enters as a permanent (no response window), then its "When you play this, attach it to a Unit you control" triggered ability goes on the chain, which can be responded to. The attach itself is not a separate trigger.

Sequence:

  • Player plays the Quick-Draw equipment at reaction speed
  • The equipment enters as a permanent and is removed from the chain (no response window)
  • The "When you play this" triggered ability goes on the chain and targets a unit
  • Players can respond to this triggered ability
  • When it resolves, the equipment attaches to the targeted unit

Nuances:

  • Quick-Draw is functionally short for "[Reaction]" and "When you play this, attach it to a Unit you control"
  • The triggered ability targets when it's put on the chain, not on resolution
  • Attach itself is not inherently a targeted action, but the Quick-Draw trigger does target
  • If the unit being attached to has a "When you target me" ability, that would create an additional trigger
