Dack Fayden -2 ability does not work on equipped Umezawa’s Jitte with counters
Hello,
I encountered a bug involving Dack Fayden’s -2 loyalty ability (“Gain control of target artifact”). The ability failed to take control of an Umezawa’s Jitte that was currently equipped to a creature and had two charge counters on it.
Expected Behavior:
Activating Dack Fayden’s -2 should allow me to gain control of the targeted artifact (Umezawa’s Jitte), regardless of whether it is equipped or has counters.
Actual Behavior:
When I targeted the equipped Umezawa’s Jitte with Dack Fayden’s -2 ability, nothing happened — control was not transferred, and the ability resolved with no effect.
Please investigate this interaction — it seems that Dack Fayden’s -2 ability is not properly handling equipped artifacts.
Best regards,
Ery

Control WAS transfered. But just because you control it now does not mean, that is falls off. Equipment and auras that change control stay attached (unless that is illegal somehow, like due to "enchant creature you control"). But any activated abilities and triggered abilities of them are now yours to use. The Jitte stays attached until YOU use the equip ability to put it on one of your creatures. You should have noticed, that Arena was promting you to use the Jitte's abilities, since it had counters to do so.
