When playing an Equipment with quickdraw, do you pay both the cost to play the card and the equip cost?

Ruling: No, you only pay the cost to play the card. Quickdraw allows you to attach the equipment as a triggered ability after playing it, without paying the equip cost.

Sequence:

  • Pay the cost to play the Equipment card
  • The Equipment enters play
  • Quickdraw triggers as a triggered ability
  • When the triggered ability resolves, the equipment attaches for free

Nuances:

  • Equip is a separate ability that requires paying a cost to attach equipment, but quickdraw bypasses this
