Payoff
Deck
- Mono-Chaos, so any of the sixteen legend names carrying Chaos holds it (103.1.b.1): Loose Cannon (OGN-251), Unforgiven (OGN-259), Swift Scout (OGN-263), Bounty Hunter (OGN-267), Dark Child - Starter (OGS-017), Glorious Executioner (SFD-185), Blade Dancer (SFD-195), Prodigal Explorer (SFD-199), Battle Mistress (SFD-203), Bloodharbor Ripper (UNL-185), Gloomist (UNL-193), Scorn of the Moon (UNL-197), Voidreaver (UNL-201), Master of Shadows (VEN-143), Soul's Reflection (VEN-151), Heart of the Tempest (VEN-155).
- The Ring on the board before Bingwen is played — [Weaponmaster] equips 'one of your Equipment', so it must already be yours.
Prerequisites
- THE KEYWORD SAYS 'TO ME', WHICH IS THE WHOLE SELECTION RULE FOR IT. [Weaponmaster] attaches the Equipment to the Weaponmaster body, so it can only ever pay for gear whose text does not depend on WHO carries it. Doran's Ring qualifies exactly: 'When I conquer, discard 1, then draw 1' pays whichever body conquers, and Bingwen at Might 6 (7 with the Ring's +1, 434.1.d) is a body that will. A carrier-dependent Equipment cannot be freed this way at all.
- AND THE DISCOUNT IS EXACTLY THE SIZE OF THIS COST. The Ring's [Equip] is a single Chaos rune and the keyword is 'for :rb_rune_rainbow: less', so the attach is FREE. That is the whole reason the pair is worth a card: measured over the pool, an [Equip] cost printed as one rune is the family this keyword zeroes, and any [Equip] carrying Energy as well is only partly discounted.
- THE ATTACH IS NOT A PLAY, SO NOTHING ELSE TRIGGERS. 818.1: 'Equip is an Activated Ability keyword', with 818.1.b making it a cost that attaches — so no 'when you play a gear' trigger of yours or theirs sees it, and `VEN-102 Ravenbloom Prefect`, which watches an opponent PLAY a gear, is blank against a Weaponmaster attach.
- AND ONCE IT IS ON, ITS [EQUIP] IS GONE. 718.2 ('While in this state, the card's printed Rules Text is Inactive') with 721.2 ('Inactive Abilities do not trigger, do not apply, and cannot be activated') means an already-attached Equipment can never pay its own [Equip] again. The keyword's own tail — 'even if it's already attached' — is a permission to take it off ANOTHER unit, not a second activation of the gear.
- 'I' IN THE APPENDED TEXT IS THE CARRIER. 136.2.d: Effect Text that says 'this' or names the attached object refers to the attachment; the Ring says 'I', so 'When I conquer' is Bingwen conquering. 434.1.c is what appended it in the first place.
- THE LOOT IS MANDATORY AND THAT IS A REAL COST. 'Discard 1, then draw 1' has no 'may', so every conquer spends a card from hand — good when the hand holds a dead card, bad when it does not. 055 is the floor: with an empty hand you discard nothing and still draw. And 422.1.b ('"When I am discarded" abilities … are executed after discarding has occurred') is what makes the discarded card's own trigger, if it has one, fire from the trash.
Steps
- Play Doran's Ring (1 Energy). Leave it unattached — the [Equip] you would otherwise pay is what Bingwen is for.
- Play Master Bingwen (6 Energy). His [Weaponmaster] trigger offers to [Equip] one of your Equipment to him for one rainbow less.
- Equip the Ring: its cost is a single Chaos rune, so the discount takes it to nothing. Bingwen is now Might 7 (434.1.d).
- Attack and win the combat: 466.5 establishes Control and 466.5.d makes it a Conquer.
- The Ring's appended text fires on the carrier: discard 1, then draw 1 — every conquer, for as long as it stays attached.
Per iteration
one card filtered per Conquer, and +1 Might permanently, at no attach cost
How it ends
engine — one loot per Conquer, forever, on a 7-Might body, for a free attach; nothing here scores beyond the Conquer the combat itself produces

SFD-124 Doran's Ring and SFD-127 Master Bingwen were both in ZERO entries. Card text verbatim from data/corpus_flat.txt; 055, 103.1.b.1, 136.2.d, 422.1.b, 434.1.c, 434.1.d, 466.5, 466.5.d, 718.2, 718.3, 721.2, 818.1, 818.1.b opened in the Core Rules file. The first notable applies the catalogue's standing [Weaponmaster] rule — it equips 'to me', so it frees only carrier-independent gear — to a pair that satisfies it, rather than restating the refusals it generates elsewhere. No unruled reading.
