Equipment arrived with a rules grammar that assumed reattachment was a sorcery-speed commitment: you moved a Bonesplitter before combat, telegraphing your plan, and the opponent built their block around it. This Cat Soldier breaks that assumption open. Suddenly equip happens on the stack, in response to a declared blocker, after combat is joined, or during an opponent's removal attempt to salvage the gear's value. The strategic axis shifts from "which creature do I suit up" to "which creature needs the steel right now," and that flexibility compounds across a whole board of Equipment: one piece of metal can defend an attacker, then jump to a blocker on the crackback, all at instant speed. It rewrites combat math for the player holding it, because the equip decision no longer locks in before blocks are declared. The body is incidental; the effect is a static rules-rewrite that converts every Equipment in the game into a combat trick. On an empty board it does nothing, and that is the point: it is a multiplier, quietly raising the value of every piece of gear once a Voltron or Equipment-matters shell surrounds it. The 2/2 frame is just the delivery system for a permission that changes how an entire card type behaves.
