Some links are affiliate links — if you buy through them Mauldron may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. How this works.

When this Equipment enters, attach it to target creature you control. When you do, equipped creature fights up to one target creature an opponent controls. (Each deals damage equal to its power to the other.)

Equipped creature gets +1/+1 and has trample.

Equip {3} ({3}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)

Official rulings

  1. You don't choose a target creature an opponent controls for Novel Nunchaku's first ability at the time it triggers. Rather, a second "reflexive" ability triggers when Novel Nunchaku is attached to the target creature you control this way. You choose a target for that ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal. (2026-01-27)
