If Draven's Spinning Axes (temporary equipment) triggers at the start of Beginning Phase, but you respond by attaching them with Angle Shot before the trigger resolves, do the axes still get killed?

Ruling: Yes, the axes will still be killed. Once the temporary trigger has been placed on the chain, attaching the equipment in response does not save it - the trigger will resolve and kill the equipment even though it is now attached.

Sequence:

• At the start of Beginning Phase, if the equipment is unattached, the temporary trigger goes on the chain
• If you respond by attaching the equipment (e.g., with Angle Shot), the text becomes inactive
• However, the trigger is already finalized on the chain
• When the trigger resolves, it kills the equipment regardless of whether it is now attached

Nuances:

• If the axes are already attached before the start of Beginning Phase, the temporary trigger will not activate at all because the text is inactive while attached
• This is different from effects like Grand Plaza that have conditional "if" clauses after the comma, which are checked on resolution
• Making card text inactive does not erase triggers that are already on the chain
• The reminder text "if this is unattached" is not rules text, just clarification
