If Angle Shot targets Eye of the Herald on the chain of its trigger, does the trigger fizzle or still resolve, and where does the might token go?

Ruling: The triggered ability remains on the chain and will resolve even after Eye of the Herald is removed. The token will be placed at the location of the unit that had Eye of the Herald attached (the battlefield in this case), because the equipment grants the ability text to the unit itself, not the equipment.

Sequence:

  • Eye of the Herald trigger goes on the chain
  • Angle Shot removes Eye of the Herald in response
  • The trigger still resolves, checking the unit's location (not the equipment's)
  • The might token is placed at the unit's current location

Nuances:

  • If the unit itself is bounced/killed in response to the trigger, the ability will resolve without effect because the game cannot reference where "here" is (returns Null)
  • If the unit is moved to a different location (like base) before the trigger resolves, the token will be created at that new location
  • Removing the equipment is one of the only effects that cannot cause the trigger to whiff
