When a player takes control of an opponent's unit that has equipment attached to it, does the player gain control of both the unit and the equipment? If so, does the equipment stay under their control when the unit dies?

Ruling: When you gain control of a unit with attached equipment, the equipment moves with the unit but you do not gain control of the equipment itself. The equipment remains under the original controller's control.

Sequence:

• Player takes control of unit with attached equipment
• Equipment physically moves with the unit but controller does not change
• Opponent can use abilities like weaponmaster to move the equipment from the possessed unit to their own units
• When the possessed unit dies, equipment recalls to its controller's base (the original owner)

Nuances:

• This creates edge cases where equipment may end up in an opponent's base when the possessed unit dies there, which may require cleanup rules to handle recalls in that situation
