When Quickdraw is used to play equipment at reaction speed and the target creature is removed in response, does the equipment fizzle or stay on the board?
Ruling: The equipment stays on the board. Riftbound does not have fizzling.
Sequence:
- Quickdraw allows equipment to be played at reaction speed
- The attach part of Quickdraw is a triggered ability
- If the target is no longer valid when that trigger resolves, the ability whiffs (resolves to 0 effect)
- The gear simply stays in base
Nuances:
- The distinction between "fizzling" and "whiffing" matters for cards like Student triggers or any card dependent on a spell's resolution
- Whiffing means the ability resolves to 0 effect, while fizzling implies 0 resolution
