[[Spell Card]] with the Equip Icons [[File:Equip.png|20px]] are the most common type of Equip Card, and are officially called [[Equip Spell Card]]s. They are treated as both [[Spell Card]]s (They would be [[destroy]]ed by the effect of "[[Heavy Storm]]") and Equip Cards (for purposes such as "[[Gearfried the Swordmaster]]".) Other cards may become Equip Cards through card effects, like with "[[Sword Hunter]]" or [[Union Monsters]]. Whenever a Monster Card becomes an Equip Card, it is treated as an [[Equip Spell Card]], and is no longer considered a [[Monster Card]]. So a "[[Dark Magician]]" equipped to your "[[Sword Hunter]]" as an Equip Card could be destroyed by "Heavy Storm" but not by "[[Tribute to the Doomed]]". |

Equip cards can be equipped to opponents' monsters to abuse the effect in some way (such as equipping your enemy's "[[Dark Magician]]" with "[[Big Bang Shot]]" and set a monster with low [[DEF]]. When the "Dark Magician" attacks, your opponent suffers the Life Point damage due to the wording on "Big Bang Shot"). Note that while the monster who receives the benefit can be your opponent's, you are still the owner of the equip card, and thus any references to "you" still means the owner of the equip card itself, not the owner of the equipped monster. Equip spell card cannot be played during your opponent's turn. |

An Equip Card, known as an Equipment Card (
Mechanics
Equip Spell Cards are the most common type of Equip Card; they are both Spell Cards (for purposes such as "De-Spell") and Equip Cards (for purposes such as "Gearfried the Swordmaster").
Equip Cards constantly target the monster they are equipped to; even while negated, Equip Cards remain equipped and continue to target the monster. If the equipped monster is no longer face-up on the field, or is no longer a valid target, the Equip Card is immediately destroyed.
Equip Cards can be equipped to monsters controlled by either player, and changing control of a monster does not cause control of an Equip Card to change. While the equipped monster can be the opponent's, the Equip Card's controller is the one referred to "you" in the Equip Card's card text, not the controller of the equipped monster.
Treating cards as Equip Cards
Monster Card
If a Monster Card is equipped to another monster, it is treated as an Equip Spell Card and is moved to a Spell & Trap Card Zone. While treated as such, it cannot be destroyed by card effects that destroy monsters, but can be destroyed by effects that destroy Spell/Trap Cards. If a monster that is treated as an Equip Card is sent to the Graveyard, it is treated as being sent as a Spell Card, but becomes a monster again when it is in the Graveyard.[1]
A monster treated as an Equip Card cannot have its equip target changed by other card effects[2], except Union Monsters equipped by their own effects.[3]
Equipped cards are still on the field, so effects or conditions that rely on a card "being sent from the field to the Graveyard", such as "Felgrand Dragon", still apply. (This is because they activate in the Graveyard, where they are monsters now, and not on the field.) Despite this, unless stated otherwise, Monster Cards cannot activate or apply their effects while treated as Equip Cards, as they are not monsters.
Pendulum Scale & Effect
Pendulum Scales are only applied if a Pendulum Monster card is in the leftmost/rightmost Spell & Trap Zone by being placed as Pendulum Scale in the Pendulum Zone. Treating them as an Equip card and place them in these zones will not apply their Pendulum Scale and Pendulum Effects, and the Zone would not be treated as Pendulum Zone.
Link Arrows
Link Monster's Link Arrow are only active only if they are used as Monster Card. If they are used as Equip card and placed in any Spell/Trap Zone, then their Link Arrows are not applied, and do not point to any zone or card.
Trap Card
If a Trap Card is equipped to a monster, it is treated as both an Equip Card and a Trap Card; unlike Monster Cards, equipped Trap Cards are not treated as Equip Spell Cards. For example, an equipped "Blast with Chain" can be destroyed by "Remove Trap" (since it is a Trap Card) and by "Gearfried the Iron Knight" (since it is an Equip Card), but not by "De-Spell" (since it is not a Spell Card). This type of Trap may be thought of as an "Equip Trap Card", but this is not an official term.
