If an equipment is 0 to equip and it's already on the lath, can it be re-equipped onto another fauna any amount of times that turn? Also, tin equipment exist equiped during an opponents plow, like you can with tapping some other creature for an power?

Yeah. Yous can activate the equip power as many times you can pay for it. That means Shuko can move between creatures without costing you anything.
No. Equip abilities tin can be activated only during your master phase when the stack is empty and you take priority.

Yes, y'all can utilize the Equip ability on equipment any number of times in one turn, provided you have the mana for information technology. Annotation that you tin can't equip a creature if the equipment is attached to that creature already - so you need ii creatures in order to do this.
The equip ability tin only be used equally a sorcery, and therefore can but exist used during your turns' main phases.

Funnily enough I was asking for the purpose of using Lightning Greaves with my Illusions deck. My theoritical plan would exist if I cast a Lord of the Unreal at the same fourth dimension as a Phantasmal Comport and I already had Lightning Greaves on the tabular array. I would equip the bear since he will have the +1 benefit, giving him haste and attacking with him, and then at my end-step I would attach information technology to Lord of the Unreal since he would need the shroud power most.
Lamentable if this is off-topic suddenly, but now I'm less sure of my understanding of borer a creature for their ability. I thought that could be done during an opponents plow? I've even seen ppl tap a animal for their ability that as well required mana exist tapped?

Yes, most activated abilities can be activated whenever you could cast an instant. The equip power, nevertheless, can only be activated when yous could cast a sorcery.
702.6a Equip is an activated ability of Equipment cards. "Equip [cost]" means "[Cost]: Adhere this permanent to target beast you command. Actuate this power simply any time yous could cast a sorcery."

Seems like a poor decision since it will upshot in your phantasmal bear existence sacrificed due to its own triggered ability. Yous but targeted it with the equip ability subsequently all.
On equip and why information technology cannot be used when you lot would be able to bandage an instant: it explicitly has a timing restriction.

Well, since seeing your plan, I feel the need to permit you know that targetting your bear for existence equipped would strength y'all to sacrifice the bear, so unless you tin get around that somehow, you lot can't equip the Greaves to your bear.

@lordzosh. Yous don't need more than one creature to equip something, only equipping the aforementioned creature with an equipment he already has will just not do anything on resolution. You could, for instance, equip lightning greaves to angellic protector over and once again to infinitly pump toughness, or use the equip cost of piston sledge equally a sac outlet even if you but have one creature.

Unlikely in that specific situation, since Lightning Greaves gives the equipped brute shroud. So, it couldn't exist targeted with Lightning Greaves'due south equip ability.

Touche. Just picking a zippo equip toll. Let's change that scenario to shuko and then.

I believe to the all-time of my knowledge that you lot DO need more than than one fauna to be able to equip from i to the other.
That you lot can't simply 'requip' to the same creature to go a 'VERY BIG #' of triggers.

No, information technology works fine. The equip power tin can target any creature you lot command, provided information technology isn't untargetable due to something, even if that brute happens to be equipped by that equipment. When the ability resolves, if the equipment is equipped to that creature already, and so it just does nil on resolution.
Activating Shuko's equip ability X number of times targeting the Angelic Protector that Shuko is already equipped to is perfectly legal.

You can activate the equip ability targeting any creature than can be targeted past that ability, including itself. In many situations, this does very picayune, but you can equip the same creature multiple times with an equipment so long equally it is a valid target and you can pay all costs associated with equipping it.
In the case of lightning greaves, the 0 cost is easy to pay for near people, however Greaves gives the creature shroud, which makes it an illegal target for its own equip ability, and therefore needs another fauna.
