_Darksteel_(TM) Frequently Asked Questions
Compiled by Paul Barclay, David DeLaney, and Jeff Jordan
This FAQ has two sections, each of which serves a different purpose.
The first section ("General Notes") explains the new mechanics and concepts in
the set. The second section ("Card-Specific Notes") contains answers to the
most important questions players might ask about a given card.
Items in the "Card-Specific Notes" section include full rules text for your
reference. Not all cards in the set are listed.
GENERAL NOTES
Indestructible
"Indestructible" is not a keyword ability. It's just a word with a specific
English meaning that's used as part of a permanent's abilities, like
"unblockable." When an effect states that "[this permanent] is
indestructible," it's stating a quality about that permanent, not giving it an
ability. The official rules for indestructible (from the glossary of the
Comprehensive Rules) are as follows:
Indestructible
If a permanent is indestructible, rules and effects can't destroy it. Such
permanents are not destroyed by lethal damage and they ignore the
lethal-damage state-based effect (see rule 420.5c). Rules or effects may cause
the permanent to be sacrificed, put into a graveyard, or removed from the
game.
Darksteel Brute
2
Artifact
Darksteel Brute is indestructible. ("Destroy" effects and lethal damage don't
destroy it.)
3: Darksteel Brute becomes a 2/2 artifact creature until end of turn.
* If an indestructible creature has 0 toughness, it will be put into its
owner's graveyard. Being indestructible can't prevent this.
* Damage accumulates on indestructible creatures, and that damage is removed
during the cleanup step.
* Lethal damage is defined as an amount of damage greater than or equal to a
creature’s toughness. Even though an indestructible creature isn't destroyed
by lethal damage, that definition is still used for things like assigning
trample damage.
* If a creature with lethal damage on it stops being indestructible, it's
destroyed the next time state-based effects are checked.
* Being indestructible stops only effects that would destroy the permanent,
including destruction due to lethal damage and destruction that doesn't allow
regeneration. An indestructible permanent can be removed from the game,
returned to a player's hand, put into a graveyard, or sacrificed.
* You can use a regeneration effect on an indestructible permanent, but since
that permanent can't be destroyed, the effect will never apply.
-----
Modular
The modular ability applies at two times: as a creature with modular comes
into play and when that creature leaves play. The official rules for modular
(from the Comprehensive Rules) are as follows:
502.35. Modular
502.35a Modular represents both a static ability and a triggered ability.
"Modular X" means "This permanent comes into play with X +1/+1 counters on it"
and "When this permanent is put into a graveyard from play, you may put a
+1/+1 counter on target artifact creature for each +1/+1 counter on this
permanent."
502.35b If a creature has multiple instances of modular, each one works
separately.
Arcbound Bruiser
5
Artifact Creature
0/0
Modular 3 (This comes into play with three +1/+1 counters on it. When it's put
into a graveyard, you may put its +1/+1 counters on target artifact creature.)
* For the comes-into-play ability, the number of counters the permanent gets
is equal to the number that follows "modular" on the card.
* For the leaves-play ability, the number of counters on the permanent at the
time it left play is what's relevant; the number after "modular" doesn't
matter.
* When a creature with modular leaves play, you may put the counters onto a
single target artifact creature. You can't split them among two or more
artifact creatures.
-----
Pulses
A cycle of five cards in the Darksteel set have the ability to return to a
player's hand when they resolve if a stated condition is met. The Pulses are
Pulse of the Dross, Pulse of the Fields, Pulse of the Forge, Pulse of the
Grid, and Pulse of the Tangle.
Pulse of the Dross
1BB
Sorcery
Target player reveals three cards from his or her hand and you choose one of
them. That player discards that card. Then if that player has more cards in
hand than you, return Pulse of the Dross to its owner's hand.
* The condition is checked after all of the spell's other effects happen, so
if the effect causes the condition to become false, the card won't return to
its owner's hand.
* The card returns to hand directly from the stack. It doesn't go to a
graveyard at all.
-----
Echoing Spells
A cycle of five cards in the Darksteel set affect all permanents with the same
name as their target. The Echoing cards are Echoing Calm, Echoing Courage,
Echoing Decay, Echoing Ruin, and Echoing Truth.
Echoing Calm
1W
Instant
Destroy target enchantment and all other enchantments with the same name as
that enchantment.
* Four of the Echoing spells target a certain type of permanent and also
affect all permanents *of that type* that have the same name as the target.
Note that Echoing Truth is different: it targets a nonland permanent, but it
affects all other permanents that have the same name, not just nonland
permanents.
* All of the permanents are affected at the same time.
-----
Imprint
The Darksteel set includes three cards with imprint abilities: Death-Mask
Duplicant, Panoptic Mirror, and Spellbinder. Each of these cards has an entry
in the "Card-Specific Notes" section of this FAQ. The official rules for
imprint (from the Comprehensive Rules) are as follows:
502.34. Imprint
502.34a Imprint is a static ability, written "Imprint -- [text]." The phrase
"Imprint -- [ability]" means "Cards in the removed-from-game zone that were
removed from the game by this ability are imprinted on this permanent."
502.34b The phrase "imprinted [type] card" means the card of that type that's
imprinted on the permanent. If a permanent has more than one card of that type
imprinted on it, each of those cards is an "imprinted [type] card."
* If you imprint a card on Panoptic Mirror or Spellbinder and that card has an
additional cost, such as a kicker, buyback, or entwine cost, you can pay the
additional costs for that card as you play it.
* If you imprint a card on Panoptic Mirror or Spellbinder and that card has an
alternative cost, such as "You may return an Island you control to its owner's
hand rather than pay this spell's mana cost," you can't pay the alternative
cost as you play the card, because you're already playing it without paying
its mana cost.
* If Panoptic Mirror or Spellbinder leaves play while its "play a copy of
the imprinted card" ability is on the stack, its ability will use last known
information to know what the imprinted card is. A copy of the card can be
made, and it can be played as normal.
* If the card imprinted on Panoptic Mirror or Spellbinder leaves the
removed-from-game zone while the "play a copy of the imprinted card" ability
is on the stack, there's no longer an imprinted card. A copy of the card can't
be made in this case.
-----
Affinity
In addition to cards with affinity for artifacts, the Darksteel set includes a
cycle of Golems with affinity for basic land types: Dross Golem, Oxidda Golem,
Razor Golem, Spire Golem, and Tangle Golem.
Dross Golem
5
Artifact Creature -- Golem
3/2
Affinity for Swamps (This spell costs 1 less to play for each Swamp you
control.)
Fear
See the Mirrodin FAQ for information about the affinity ability.
-----
Entwine
See the Mirrodin FAQ for information about the entwine ability.
-----
Equipment
See the Mirrodin FAQ for information about Equipment and the equip ability.
-----
CARD-SPECIFIC NOTES
AEther Snap
3BB
Sorcery
Remove all counters from all permanents and remove all tokens from the game.
* AEther Snap removes all counters from permanents, no matter what type they
are. At the same time, it removes all tokens from the game.
* Counters on objects that aren't permanents, such as delay counters on an
Ertai's Meddling card that's removed from the game or poison counters on a
player, are unaffected by AEther Snap.
-----
Arcbound Fiend
6
Artifact Creature
0/0
Fear
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may move a +1/+1 counter from target
creature onto Arcbound Fiend.
Modular 3 (This comes into play with three +1/+1 counters on it. When it's put
into a graveyard, you may put its +1/+1 counters on target artifact creature.)
* The creature that's targeted by Arcbound Fiend's middle ability doesn't have
to have any +1/+1 counters on it. If it doesn't have a counter on it when the
ability resolves, nothing happens.
-----
Auriok Siege Sled
6
Artifact Creature
3/5
1: Target artifact creature blocks Auriok Siege Sled this turn if able.
1: Target artifact creature can't block Auriok Siege Sled this turn.
* Remember that in the _Magic_(R) game, an effect that says you "can't" do
something overrides an effect that says you can or must do something. If you
play both of Auriok Siege Sled's abilities on the same creature, that creature
can't block Auriok Siege Sled this turn.
-----
Blinkmoth Nexus
Land
T: Add 1 to your mana pool.
1: Blinkmoth Nexus becomes a 1/1 Blinkmoth artifact creature with flying until
end of turn. It's still a land.
1, T: Target Blinkmoth gets +1/+1 until end of turn.
* Blinkmoth Nexus gains the creature type "Blinkmoth" when it becomes a
creature. This means that it ends up with three types (land, artifact, and
creature), plus one creature subtype (Blinkmoth).
* The "target Blinkmoth gets +1/+1" ability can target any creature with the
creature type Blinkmoth.
* If Blinkmoth Nexus is turned into a Forest after it's turned into a
creature, it ends up with three types (artifact, land, and creature), plus one
creature subtype (Blinkmoth) and one land subtype (Forest).
-----
Carry Away
UU
Enchant Equipment
When Carry Away comes into play, unattach enchanted Equipment.
You control enchanted Equipment.
* Carry Away is an enchant Equipment, which is a new subtype of local
enchantments. An enchant Equipment can enchant only an Equipment (just as an
enchant creature can enchant only a creature).
* Normally, gaining control of an Equipment doesn't change what it's attached
to. However, Carry Away has a triggered ability that unattaches the Equipment
from whatever it's attached to. The Equipment's new controller can play its
equip ability to move it onto a creature he or she controls.
-----
Death-Mask Duplicant
7
Artifact Creature -- Shapeshifter
5/5
Imprint -- 1: Remove target creature card in your graveyard from the game.
(The removed card is imprinted on this artifact.)
As long as an imprinted creature card has flying, Death-Mask Duplicant has
flying. The same is true for fear, first strike, double strike, haste,
landwalk, protection, and trample.
* Death-Mask Duplicant has an activated imprint ability. This ability can be
played any number of times, so multiple creature cards can become imprinted on
this creature.
* Death-Mask Duplicant gains all landwalk and protection abilities of the
imprinted creature cards. If Death-Mask Duplicant imprints a card with
protection from red and a card with protection from creatures, it has
protection from red and from creatures.
-----
Dismantle
2R
Sorcery
Destroy target artifact. If that artifact had counters on it, put that many
+1/+1 counters or charge counters on an artifact you control.
* Dismantle targets only the artifact that will be destroyed. When Dismantle
resolves, you choose which type of counters you want and choose an artifact
you control to put them on.
* It doesn't matter what kind of counters the destroyed artifact had on it,
only how many. If an artifact had five bomb counters and two trap counters on
it, that converts to seven +1/+1 counters or seven charge counters.
* You can put +1/+1 counters on a noncreature artifact. They won't do anything
unless the artifact becomes a creature, at which time they'll add to the
creature's power and toughness.
* If the artifact regenerates or is indestructible, it won't be destroyed, but
you still put the appropriate number of counters onto an artifact you control.
-----
Fireball
XR
Sorcery
Fireball deals X damage divided evenly, rounded down, among any number of
target creatures and/or players.
As an additional cost to play Fireball, pay 1 for each target beyond the
first.
* The additional cost is paid when you pay the rest of Fireball's costs, even
though that text appears second on the card (to make the card easier to read).
The additional cost doesn't count toward Fireball's converted mana cost.
* If, for example, X is 5 and you choose three target creatures, Fireball has
a total cost of 7R and it deals 1 damage to each of those three creatures.
-----
Gemini Engine
6
Artifact Creature
3/4
Whenever Gemini Engine attacks, put an attacking Twin artifact creature token
into play. Its power is equal to Gemini Engine's power and its toughness is
equal to Gemini Engine's toughness. Sacrifice the token at end of combat.
* The Twin token comes into play as an untapped attacking creature. It's not
subject to any costs to attack or restrictions on attacking.
* The Twin token won't trigger any abilities that trigger "when [a creature]
attacks."
* The token's power and toughness are set equal to Gemini Engine's power and
toughness. If there's a Glorious Anthem in play (which gives your creatures
+1/+1), Gemini Engine is 4/5. The Twin token starts as a 4/5, and then the
Anthem gives it +1/+1, making the Twin a 5/6 creature.
* Once the token has been created, its power and toughness aren't dependent on
Gemini Engine's power and toughness, and they won't change if Gemini Engine's
power and toughness change.
-----
Heartseeker
4
Artifact -- Equipment
Equipped creature gets +2/+1 and has "T, Unattach Heartseeker: Destroy target
creature."
Equip 5 (5: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.
This card comes into play unattached and stays in play if the creature leaves
play.)
* Heartseeker grants an ability to the equipped creature. The ability can
target a creature with protection from artifacts (unless the equipped creature
is an artifact creature).
* The equipped creature's controller chooses whether or not to play the
activated ability. It doesn't matter who controls Heartseeker.
* "Unattach Heartseeker" means just that -- Heartseeker moves off the creature
it was equipping and remains in play.
-----
Leonin Bola
1
Artifact -- Equipment
Equipped creature has "T, Unattach Leonin Bola: Tap target creature."
Equip 1 (1: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.
This card comes into play unattached and stays in play if the creature leaves
play.)
* Leonin Bola grants an ability to the equipped creature. The ability can
target a creature with protection from artifacts (unless the equipped creature
is an artifact creature).
* The equipped creature's controller chooses whether or not to play the
activated ability. It doesn't matter who controls Leonin Bola.
* "Unattach Leonin Bola" means just that -- Leonin Bola moves off the creature
it was equipping and remains in play.
-----
Leonin Shikari
1W
Creature -- Cat Soldier
2/2
You may play equip abilities any time you could play an instant.
* An equip ability uses the keyword ability "equip." Normally, equip abilities
can be played only any time you could play a sorcery.
* Leonin Shikari allows you to move your Equipment around during the combat
phase or in response to a spell or ability. You're still subject to any other
restrictions on playing equip abilities.
-----
Memnarch
7
Artifact Creature -- Wizard Legend
4/5
1UU: Target permanent becomes an artifact in addition to its other types.
(This effect doesn't end at end of turn.)
3U: Gain control of target artifact. (This effect doesn't end at end of turn.)
* The effects of Memnarch's abilities don't end at end of turn, and they don't
end when Memnarch leaves play. Both effects last until the affected permanent
leaves play.
* You can use the first ability on a nonartifact permanent, wait for the
ability to resolve, and then use the second ability on that permanent.
-----
Mycosynth Lattice
6
Artifact
All permanents are artifacts in addition to their other types.
All cards that aren't in play, spells, and permanents are colorless.
Players may spend mana as though it were mana of any color.
* Mycosynth Lattice turns all permanents in play into artifacts. Spells on the
stack and cards in other zones aren't permanents, so those spells and cards
don't become artifacts.
* Mycosynth Lattice's second ability makes everything, in every zone of the
game, colorless.
* The Lattice's first ability causes local enchantments to become artifacts.
Combined with March of the Machines from the Mirrodin set, this can then make
those local enchantments become creatures. A local enchantment that's also a
creature can't enchant anything. It's put into its owner's graveyard the next
time state-based effects are checked.
* The Lattice's third ability lets players spend even colorless mana as though
it had a color. However, it doesn't remove restrictions on the mana. For
example, Mycosynth Lattice doesn't allow mana from Vedalken Engineer to be
used to play a nonartifact spell.
-----
Myr Landshaper
3
Artifact Creature -- Myr
1/1
T: Target land becomes an artifact in addition to its other types until end of
turn.
* The land keeps all its other types, subtypes, and supertypes: If it was a
basic land, it's still basic. If it was a Forest, it's still a Forest.
-----
Neurok Transmuter
2U
Creature -- Human Wizard
2/2
U: Target creature becomes an artifact in addition to its other types until
end of turn.
U: Until end of turn, target artifact creature becomes blue and isn't an
artifact.
* Neurok Transmuter's second ability removes the type "artifact" -- and any
artifact subtypes -- from the artifact creature it targets. It doesn't remove
any other types or any subtypes of other types, and it doesn't remove
supertypes. (If the artifact was legendary, it's still legendary, and the
"Legend rule" applies normally.)
* Equipment that stops being an artifact loses the subtype "Equipment."
Permanents without the subtype Equipment can't equip creatures. (Of course,
artifact creatures can't equip anything either.)
* Neurok Transmuter's second ability interacts strangely with March of the
Machines from the Mirrodin set. If an artifact is an artifact creature only
because March of the Machines is in play and you then play Neurok Transmuter's
second ability on that artifact creature, the result is a permanent with no
types whatsoever. (Neurok Transmuter's ability removes the type "artifact."
March of the Machines depends on knowing what is and isn't an artifact. The
permanent won't be an artifact when March of the Machine's effect is applied
and therefore it won't be turned into a creature.)
-----
Panoptic Mirror
5
Artifact
Imprint -- X, T: You may remove an instant or sorcery card with converted mana
cost X in your hand from the game. (That card is imprinted on this artifact.)
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may copy an imprinted instant or sorcery
card and play the copy without paying its mana cost.
* As Panoptic Mirror's triggered ability resolves, it allows you to create a
copy of one of the instant or sorcery cards imprinted on Panoptic Mirror in
the removed-from-game zone (that's where the imprinted card is) and then play
it without paying its mana cost.
* You don't pay the spell's mana cost. If the spell has X in its mana cost, X
is 0. You do pay any additional costs for that spell. You can't use any
alternative costs.
* The triggered ability triggers only once each upkeep, not once per imprinted
card. If no cards are imprinted on Panoptic Mirror when the triggered ability
resolves, it does nothing.
* You may imprint a card on Panoptic Mirror in response to the
upkeep-triggered ability. If you do, that card is available to copy when the
triggered ability resolves.
* Removing a card when the activated ability resolves is optional. If you
choose to remove a card, you can remove only a card with converted mana cost
equal to X.
* To imprint a split card, you pay X equal to either side's converted mana
cost. If the copied card is a split card, you choose which one side of it to
play, but you can't play both sides. (You can choose the other side later in
the game, though.)
-----
Rebuking Ceremony
3GG
Sorcery
Put two target artifacts on top of their owners' libraries.
* If both cards are owned by the same player, that player decides their order
on top of his or her library.
-----
Savage Beating
3RR
Instant
Play Savage Beating only during your turn and only during combat.
Choose one -- Creatures you control gain double strike until end of turn; or
untap all creatures you control and after this phase, there is an additional
combat phase.
Entwine 1R
* The additional combat phase is directly after the combat phase in which
Savage Beating is played. There isn't a main phase between the two combat
phases.
-----
Screams from Within
1BB
Enchant Creature
Enchanted creature gets -1/-1.
When enchanted creature is put into a graveyard, return Screams from Within
from your graveyard to play.
* If Screams from Within returns to play from your graveyard, you choose the
creature that Screams from Within enchants (just as you would for any local
enchantment that you're putting into play without playing it). If your
opponent doesn't control any creatures, you must choose one of your creatures.
If there's nothing at all that Screams from Within can enchant, it remains in
your graveyard.
* If another player has gained control of Screams from Within, its triggered
ability does nothing when it's put into a graveyard. Cards are always put into
their owner's graveyard, but Screams from Within's ability looks for the card
only in its controller's graveyard.
-----
Serum Powder
3
Artifact
T: Add 1 to your mana pool.
Any time you could mulligan and Serum Powder is in your hand, you may remove
your hand from the game, then draw that many cards. (You can do this in
addition to taking mulligans.)
* You can use Serum Powder's second ability only while it's in your hand. If
this card is in your hand, you can choose either to mulligan or to use Serum
Powder's ability. Using the ability doesn't prevent you from taking further
mulligans, and taking a mulligan doesn't prevent you from using a Serum
Powder's ability if you happen to draw one.
* Unlike a normal mulligan, Serum Power lets you draw the same number of cards
that were in your hand, not one less. If you have already taken one mulligan
and your hand contains six cards including a Serum Powder, you can choose to
remove those six cards from the game and draw six new cards.
* The hand is removed for the rest of the game; it isn't shuffled back into
your library if you take another mulligan. (Cards removed from the game are
always face up unless the effect that removed them says they aren't. Be sure
to return those cards to your deck for your next game.)
-----
Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer
1R
Creature -- Goblin Artificer Legend
1/2
Sacrifice an artifact: Target artifact becomes indestructible until end of
turn. ("Destroy" effects and lethal damage don't destroy that artifact.)
* Damage wears off simultaneously with this effect ending, so it does save an
artifact creature from lethal damage.
-----
Spellbinder
3
Artifact -- Equipment
Imprint -- When Spellbinder comes into play, you may remove an instant card in
your hand from the game.
Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, you may copy the
imprinted instant card and play the copy without paying its mana cost.
Equip 4
* Spellbinder's second ability allows you to create a copy of the imprinted
instant card in the removed-from-game zone (that's where the imprinted instant
card is) and then play it without paying its mana cost.
* You don't pay the spell's mana cost. If the spell has X in its mana cost, X
is 0. You do pay any additional costs for that spell. You can't use any
alternative costs.
* If the copied card is a split card, you choose which one side of it to play,
but you can't play both sides. (You can choose the other side later in the
game, though.)
* Spellbinder imprints a card only once, when it comes into play. Attaching
Spellbinder to a creature doesn't trigger its comes-into-play ability.
-----
Sundering Titan
8
Artifact Creature
7/10
When Sundering Titan comes into play, choose a land of each basic land type,
then destroy those lands.
When Sundering Titan leaves play, choose a land of each basic land type, then
destroy those lands.
* Sundering Titan's two abilities aren't targeted. When one of the abilities
resolves, the Titan's controller must choose one land for each basic land type
(Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest).
* If one of the basic land types isn't present, it isn't chosen. If the only
land of a certain type is one you control, you must choose it.
* If a land has more than one basic land type, it can be chosen more than
once.
* All the chosen lands are destroyed simultaneously.
-----
Surestrike Trident
2
Artifact -- Equipment
Equipped creature has first strike and "T, Unattach Surestrike Trident: This
creature deals damage equal to its power to target player."
Equip 4 (4: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.
This card comes into play unattached and stays in play if the creature leaves
play.)
* Surestrike Trident grants an ability to the equipped creature.
* The equipped creature's controller chooses whether or not to play the
activated ability. It doesn't matter who controls Surestrike Trident.
* "Unattach Surestrike Trident" means just that -- Surestrike Trident moves
off the creature it was equipping and remains in play.
-----
Test of Faith
1W
Instant
Prevent the next 3 damage that would be dealt to target creature this turn,
and put a +1/+1 counter on that creature for each 1 damage prevented this way.
* The +1/+1 counters are put onto the creature at the time the damage is
prevented. If a 1/1 creature would be dealt 6 damage, 3 damage is prevented
and three +1/+1 counters are put onto the creature. The creature is a 4/4
creature with 3 damage on it, so it won't be destroyed.
-----
Thought Dissector
4
Artifact
X, T: Target opponent reveals cards from the top of his or her library until
an artifact card or X cards are revealed, whichever comes first. If an
artifact card is revealed this way, put it into play under your control and
sacrifice Thought Dissector. Put the rest of the revealed cards into that
player's graveyard.
* You put the artifact card into play even if Thought Dissector has already
left play and you can't sacrifice it.
-----
Thunderstaff
3
Artifact
If Thunderstaff is untapped and a creature would deal combat damage to you,
prevent 1 of that damage.
2, T: Attacking creatures get +1/+0 until end of turn.
* If Thunderstaff is untapped, it prevents 1 damage from each creature, each
time it would deal combat damage to you. So if three creatures with double
strike attack you and aren't blocked, Thunderstaff will prevent a total of 6
damage.
-----
Trinisphere
3
Artifact
As long as Trinisphere is untapped, each spell that would cost less than three
mana to play costs three mana to play. (Additional mana in the cost may be
paid with any color of mana or colorless mana. For example, a spell that would
cost 1B to play costs 2B to play instead.)
* Trinisphere's ability affects the total cost of the spell. It is applied
*after* any other cost increasers or cost reducers are applied: First apply
any cost increases. Next apply any cost reducers. Finally look at the amount
of mana you have to pay. If it's less than three mana, you'll pay three mana.
* Even with a cost reducer in play, spells can't cost less than three mana to
play.
* If a spell costs at least three mana due to additional costs, such as kicker
costs, that's fine.
* You still need to pay any additional nonmana costs the spell has, such as
sacrificing a creature or discarding cards.
* Playing a creature with morph face down already costs three mana, even
though the converted mana cost of the face-down spell is zero, so Trinisphere
normally doesn't modify the total cost of a face-down creature spell. However,
if Dream Chisel is reducing that cost while Trinisphere is in play, you'll
still have to pay three mana for the spell.
-----
Turn the Tables
3WW
Instant
All combat damage that would be dealt to you this turn is dealt to target
attacking creature instead.
* If the targeted creature isn't in play when the combat damage would be
dealt, the damage isn't redirected.
* If the targeted creature has been removed from combat but is still in play,
the damage will be redirected.
-----
Unforge
2R
Instant
Destroy target Equipment. If that Equipment was attached to a creature,
Unforge deals 2 damage to that creature.
* Unforge deals damage only to the creature that the Equipment was attached to
when the Equipment was destroyed. It doesn't deal damage to creatures that the
Equipment had previously equipped.
