Caduceus, Staff of Hermes rulings

2024-07-05
If the equipped creature is dealt damage at the same time that you gain life (most likely because it dealt combat damage to a creature blocking or blocked by it) and your life total becomes 30 or greater as a result, the damage won’t be prevented. However, the equipped creature will have indestructible before state-based actions are checked, so it won’t be destroyed even if that damage would ordinarily be lethal.

Caduceus, Staff of Hermes keyword rules

Equip Rule 702.6

Equip is an activated ability of Equipment cards. “Equip [cost]” means “[Cost]: Attach this permanent to target creature you control. Activate only as a sorcery.”

For more information about Equipment, see rule , “Artifacts.”

Equip abilities may further restrict what creatures may be chosen as legal targets. Such restrictions usually appear in the form “Equip [quality]” or “Equip [quality] creature.” These equip abilities may legally target only a creature that’s controlled by the player activating the ability and that has the chosen quality. Additional restrictions for an equip ability don’t restrict what the Equipment may be attached to.

If a permanent has multiple equip abilities, any of its equip abilities may be activated.

“Equip planeswalker” is a variant of the equip ability. “Equip planeswalker [cost]” means “[Cost]: Attach this permanent to target planeswalker you control as though that planeswalker were a creature. Activate only as a sorcery.”
