Wizards of the Coast 6 Jun 2025

Cloud's last ability reduces only the amount of generic mana you pay for equip abilities that target Cloud. For example, it will reduce {2} to {0}, but it will have no effect on an equip cost of {G}.

Wizards of the Coast 6 Jun 2025

Some Equipment creature cards in other sets have reconfigure, a different ability that attaches them to a creature. Reconfigure is not an equip ability, and reconfigure costs are not reduced by Cloud's last ability. Equip variants or equip abilities with restrictions, like the "equip legendary creature" ability of Wrecking Ball Arm, are still equip abilities, and their costs will be reduced by Cloud's last ability.

Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryWRPlayers write colors as letters: W for white, R for red.EquipmentEquipment decks attach artifacts called Equipment to their creatures to make them bigger and harder to stop. You pay a cost to equip each one, and it stays on the battlefield when the creature dies, ready to move to the next.Open the Equipment pageEquipment PayoffRewards you for casting or attaching Equipment: drawing cards, attaching for free, or attaching at instant speed. Puresteel Paladin, Sigarda's AidOpen the Equipment Payoff pageEquipmentAn artifact that attaches to one of your creatures and makes it stronger. You attach it by paying its equip cost, which you can only do during your own turn when nothing else is happening, so a new Equipment does nothing until you pay. It stays behind when the creature dies, and you pay the equip cost again each time you move it. SkullclampOpen the Equipment pageProtectionA creature with protection from something, like a color, is safe from anything with that quality. It cannot be damaged, enchanted or equipped, blocked, or targeted by it, and players remember the four with the word DEBT. It does not stop effects that neither target nor damage, like a board wipe that destroys every creature. ProgenitusOpen the Protection page
