Answer

Ruling: Yes, you must still pay the full equip cost of Blade of Ruined King, including killing a unit you control. Weaponmaster only reduces the power portion of the equip cost by 1.

Sequence:

  • Activate Weaponmaster's ability targeting Blade of Ruined King
  • Pay the equip cost: kill a unit you control, and pay the power cost reduced by 1
  • Attach Blade of Ruined King to Weaponmaster

Nuances:

  • Equip costs that only require power are shown in the [Equip X] tag format
  • When an equip cost includes non-power requirements (like sacrificing a unit), the full cost is written out with a colon separator
  • Weaponmaster's reduction only applies to the power portion of any equip cost

Does this answer look correct?
