What happens when Akshan, Mischievous steals an equipped Shady Spectacles? Does copying Aphelios trigger him twice?
The previously equipped unit loses its copy effect, and Akshan becomes a copy of a friendly unit of his controller's choice. As of the Vendetta rules update, effects like Shady Spectacles and Svellsongur replace the attach event with attach-then-copy as separate, sequential events. By the time the copy applies, the attach event has already completed, so a copied trigger like Aphelios's can't see it. This supersedes the Spiritforged FAQ answer — attaching Svellsongur to Aphelios no longer triggers him twice.
