Im learning so I want to take a crack at it before someone gives the correct answer. I think that when the creature leaves play it leaves behind the artifact just like always until the oblivion ring is destroyed. Once the creature comes back in play you have to equip the equipment again. That's my most educated guess since artifact equipment states when a creature leaves play it stays in play.

Also I need to know the answer to this, because my friend plays white/blue and uses a card path of the exile or something and makes my creatures sit out of game because I don't have an enchant killer card. I also use a lot of artifact equipment.

thedaringpastry: You are correct sir, that's how it works. One thing to clarify though goblinguide, Oblivion Ring never technically enchants anything, it's not an aura. It's got a enter the battlefield triggered ability that exiles something, and another triggered ability that returns it if O-Ring goes away.

That is an important distinction - it doesn't target when announced from hand "cast" so your opponent has to decide whether or not to counter it before it resolves and comes into play. As it comes into play then if not countered as it comes into play its triggered ability now has you select a target. So equipment falls off of permanents they are attached to if that permanent is removed from play.

on this topic, one thing i've never been 100% on is auras attached to an exiled creature.. they fall off and hit the graveyard, correct?

That is correct, they die to do being all alone. Auras are very needy.

Clingy bitch.
