Equipment and Tapping

[Subiskier]

When an equipped creature attacks does the equipment tap with it? If you untap the equipment does the creature untap?

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

No and yes. If you attack the equipment does tap and if you untap the equipment the creature doesn't untap.

What I'm getting at is trying to make synergy out of {bludgeon brawl} and tap artifacts like {ratchet bomb} and such. If its equipped to a creature can I tap it to add a counter to ratchet bomb? Does it move independently of the creature? Does it tap the creature with it?

[Gorzo]

Yes, it remains independent of the creature. If you equip ratchet bomb to a creature with bludgeon brawl, then attack with creature, the bomb is still untapped and may tap for a counter (or to explode).

And if you somehow untap the bomb, the creature will remain tapped.

Thanks so much!
