If my Warmog dies, do I keep the +1 buff from Conquering?

Regarding Warmog's Armor and its interaction with buffs gained while conquering:

Yes, the unit keeps the buff.

According to the official ruling:

  • When an equipment (like Warmog's Armor) detaches from a unit, the unit retains any buffs it already gained while the equipment was attached.
  • The unit will not gain new buffs from future conquers because the equipment's text is no longer active on that unit once it is detached or the equipment is destroyed.

Key Rules & Nuances:

  1. Text Ownership: While equipped, the unit gains the equipment's text in its bottom box. The word "me" in that text refers to the attached unit.
  2. Buff Persistence: Buffs are objects placed on the unit (Rule 702). They remain on the unit until the unit leaves play (Rule 705) or the buff is specifically spent/removed.
  3. Equipment Status: If the equipment is destroyed or detached, it becomes Inactive, but this does not retroactively remove modifications (like +1 Might buffs) that were already applied to the unit's state.

Summary of Sequence:

  • While Equipped: Unit conquers -> Trigger occurs -> Unit receives a +1 Might buff.
  • If Warmog's is destroyed/detached: The unit keeps the +1 Might buff it already has, but it loses the ability to gain more buffs from future conquers.
