Can Akshan steal attached equipment?
Ruling: Yes, Akshan can steal attached equipment. His trigger makes you gain control of the equipment (you can gain control of attached equipment), then attempts to move it to base (which fails while attached).
Sequence:
- Akshan's trigger makes you gain control of the equipment
- The trigger tries to move it to base (this fails because it's attached)
- If it's an equipment, you can choose to attach it to Akshan
- If you attach it to Akshan, the equipment moves to his location and becomes attached to him
- If you don't attach it to Akshan, the equipment stays attached to its current unit until that unit leaves the board or the equipment becomes unattached, then it will be recalled to your base (assuming Akshan is still on the board so you control it)
