stupid vast wealth question: lsj...?
kevin scribner
so, i tried to dig up the answer for this one myself, before bugging
you all with it... the closest relevant discourse i could find was
this:
> Oops, I also forgot, what if you equip with a unique piece of equipment
> that another of your vampires already controls?....
The he gets the equipment, which becomes contested as normal.
During your next untap (if you still control both minions),
you must pay to contest or choose to yield each copy of the
contested card in turn. If you yield all but one (a standard
choice), the you must pay 1 pool to contest the one copy you
wish to keep and burn the rest. Then, on your *following*
untap phase, you turn the equipment face up.

so, my question[s] is / are as follows:
-- what happens when you use the vast wealth action to equip with
something from your library, and you end up hitting an unique piece of
equipment that *you* already control [i.e., the eye of hazimel, the
ivory bow, et cetera]...? the ruling i found above would appear to
have been rendered when it was still legal to contest cards you
contrtolled [ahh, the good old days], so i'm a little unclear as to
the result of the vast wealth action in this instance... i'm guessing
that the equipment would be burned without effect...?
i take it the vampire stays tapped, as well...? the action, however,
would still be considered to be "successful," though without
effect...? for purposes of freak drive at inferior, for example...?
or would you bypass pieces of unique equipment that *you* already
contrtol, and keep working your way down your deck...? that'd be
cool, so i guess that won't be the answer...
:)

If the equipment cannot be legally placed on the vampire, it is
burned without cost.
Also:
If the Vast Wealth produces an equipment that is illegal for you,
it is discarded with no cost. This rule applies for unique items
that you already control. [LSJ 12-JUN-2001]

Right.

Correct.

Only if you are cheating.

What about with Horrid Reality, if I come upon my second Ivory Bow?
Does the weapon burn and I've wasted my 2 blood?
Kitzune
See the card text and then compare it with Illusion of the Kindred.
Illusion of the Kindred explicitly say that the vampires doesnt
contest. Horrid Reality doesnt.

Yes.
