If you read the ability closely it seems that it would help you of its on an opponets creature but I believe its against the rules. So my question is; Can you equip {Sword of Body and Mind} to an opponets creature?

Prophylaxis

Equipment can only be equipped to your creatures. I was wondering that too when I saw {Grafted Exoskeleton}. ;P

BlackJester

Hmmm, not entirely.  You can only pay the equip cost to attach it to a creature you control, but there are ways to attach equipment to a creature you don't control.

{Ogre Geargrabber}
{Magnetic Theft}
and my favorite
{Vulshok Battlemaster}

It is odd, but true. If you steal an equipped creature, control of the equipment doesn't change, but the equipment stays attached until they can attach it to a new creature.

Wait, why exactly would you want your opponents creature to have pro green+blue, mill you for a sixth of your deck and get a token?

Since you still control the sword, if the creature hit you, you would mill and get a token.

It still just seems silly espcially sence your opponet will most likely not want to steal it because it helps you.

Silly things can happen in the game of Magic.  ;D

You could put it on one of their creatures.  Again, who knows why, just that you can.
