An alternate take on Surprise Deployment. Suddenly bringing out some new technology is every bit as thematic for Code Geass as suddenly bringing out a new combatant.
The big strike against this is that if the equipment grants +2/+2, say, and that extra 2 toughness is necessary to keep the creature alive, then this needs to stay on the battlefield until the next cleanup step. Which is a horrible phrase to reference in rules. It does appear in Oracle, but only on errata for very old cards - Armor of Thorns, Bounty of the Hunt, Ward of Lights.
Could alternatively be returned "at the beginning of the next turn's upkeep", I guess?
I doubt this works or would be permitted, but does new "until" templating tech allow "Put an equipment card from your hand onto the battlefield until end of turn"...? :)
Bring back substance!
"next turn's upkeep" is the least bad option, probably. was "at the beginning of the cleanup step".
One advantage to this over Surprise Deployment is that this can probably coexist in a set with Drop from the Ceiling, whereas Surprise Deployment is a bit close to both of them.
One possibility I'm considering is making this cost
(or 
), as the uncommon gold build-around-me for the (White-blue archetype).
try cost at WU. was 1WW
