How does Possession interact with a unit that has Gear equipped, and what happens to both cards when the possessed unit dies or is bounced to hand?

When you cast Possession on an opponent's unit that has Gear equipped:

Initial State:

1. You take control of the unit and it's recalled to your base

2. The Gear stays attached to the unit

3. Your opponent still controls the Gear (even though it's attached to your unit)

4. Your opponent can still equip the Gear to their own units using Weaponmaster or similar effects

   If the Possessed Unit Dies:

• The unit goes to its owner's trash (the opponent's trash), not yours - , a card owned by a player can never be put into another player's trash

• The Gear detaches to the last battlefield location where the unit was

• The Gear is then Recalled to the opponent's base during the next Cleanup

  If the Possessed Unit is Bounced to Hand:

• The unit goes to its owner's hand (the opponent's hand), not yours - , a card owned by a player can never be put into another player's hand

• The Gear detaches to the last battlefield location where the unit was

• The Gear is then Recalled to the opponent's base during the next Cleanup

  Key Principle: Ownership is permanent and cannot change. Cards owned by a player cannot be put into another player's trash, banishment, or hand zones. Both the possessed unit and the opponent's Gear return to the opponent when the unit leaves the battlefield.
