When your unit dies with an equipment, does the equipment go to trash?

When a unit with attached equipment dies, the equipment does not go to the trash. Instead, it detaches and returns to your base.

According to the established rulings:

  • Equipment returns to your base: When a unit dies, any attached equipment detaches and remains at your base in a ready state.
  • Exception: If a unit's death is prevented or replaced (such as by Guardian Angel or Zhonya's Hourglass), the unit is not considered to have died, and the equipment remains attached to the unit.
  • Specific Card Text: Some cards may have specific text that overrides this general rule (e.g., if a card explicitly states it is destroyed or sent to the trash when the unit dies). Always check the specific text of the equipment card you are using.
