If I were to Mind Control or Corrupted Conscience or Enslave (etc) an equipped creature, could I then reattach the equipment to another creature I control?
Nope. You gain control of their creature, but they retain control of the equipment/auras attached. Interesting to note, if you steal a creature enchanted by Wreath of Geists, it would count the number of creatures in THEIR graveyard.
Cheers mate! I figured as much (I also just needed make to make a post in the rules section. The pedantic in me was freaking out that there was nothing in it 😂)
Is that true? I thought because your opponent's creatures are not legal targets for your equipment and visa versa, that the equipment "drops" from the creature, being that it is no longer a legal target. For example, if I give a creature that has Pacifism on it protection from white, does pacifism go to the gy?
It will stay on the creature i think. Enchants target only when cast, then they are not targeting anymore. A question: when u Mind Control a creature, will it come with sickness?
A Pacifism will fall off if the creature is given pro white. I'm not sure what ruling exactly makes this happen but I was told this some time ago. Anyone is welcome to tell me otherwise and I'd like to know what rules back these up.

Equipping/Enchanting only targets in the beginning (though there are ways to enchant without targeting. See Replenish. ) Once on the creature, it is no longer targeting that creature, just equipping/enchanting it.
Protection prevents Damage, Enchanting/Equipping, Blocking, and Targeting (remember D.E.B.T. for short). @Springeralready, notice the reminder text on Vulshok Battlemaster, he steals everyone's equipment, but they still control the equipment. Weird but true.
A) They can only equip on their turn at "sorcery speed" B) They need to control a creature to move the equipment on. C) Changing control won't affect Pacifism, but Pro:White will cause it to be put in the 'yard.
