If Reverend Blackwood plays MotS and the only equipment in library is Ankara
Citadel, what happens?

Well, since he does not fulfill the requirements of Ankara Citadel (he's
!Tremere), he ends up with no equipment. Just like if you Magic of the Smith
when there is no equipment in your deck.

Hmmmm .... I take it that when you refer to The Reverend, actually you are
referring to any minion who is not Tremere?? In any case he will use the Magic
of the Smith to search for any piece of equipment in your library and simply
fail to equip with that (if it was the Ankara Citadel, Sword of Judgement or
...). The Ankara Citadel would then be transferred to your ash heap!

As I see it anyway!

Hmm I would have thought he'd illegally try to equip it and ending up
burning the card to ash heap and paying the cost of 2 blood for the card or
something.

No, with Magic of the Smith (or any card that searches through you library for
something), you aren't required to actually get the card. You may actually
choose to fail to find it. (So if you Magic of the Smith even when your deck is
filled with equipment, you may choose to not equip with any of it).

Your equip action failed ( becasue you could not meet the requirements ).
You do not pay the cost of a failed action so you do not pay for Ankara.

Correct. And he cannot choose to equip with equipment that he cannot equip - so
burning the Citadel isn't even an option.

The MotS action succeeded - its cost is paid.
You can't go looking through your library until the action succeeds.

You don't pay for the Citadel because you do not equip the Citadel (because you do
not meet the requirements of doing so).

Ah, ok, you you can't even fetch Ankara from your deck because you can't
meet the requirements. I thought you paid for MoTs, tried to equip w/ Amkara
and failed. Makes sense, it's not like you're allowed to take an action that
costs 2 blood when you only have 1 and just let it fail.
