Rulings
- : The ability granted by Red Mage's Rapier resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered or otherwise leaves the stack.
- : If the Hero token is destroyed, the Equipment stays on the battlefield.
- : You may pay the Equipment's equip cost as normal to move it from the Hero token to another creature you control.
- : If the job select ability causes two Hero tokens to be created (due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), the Equipment becomes attached to only one of them.
- : The Hero token enters as a 1/1 creature, then the Equipment becomes attached to it. Abilities that trigger when a creature enters the battlefield see that a 1/1 creature entered the battlefield.
