I'd MotS an Equip Action?

Roderick Phillips March has text which reads

Sabbat: While Roderick is ready, your minions get an additional +1 stealth on equip actions. Cold iron vulnerability.

So if he performs Magic of the Smith does he get +1 stealth ?

Magic of the Smith

+1 stealth action. Search your library for an equipment card and equip this acting vampire with it (requirements and cost apply as normal). Shuffle afterward. As above, but this is a +3 stealth action.

1 blood, etc.....

So, im not sure if it counts. It isxan equip action if you sucessfully equip (nra pac will untap you at EoT, etc.)

But im unsure otherwise. Is jack of both sides an equip action if you suceed unblocked and produce a retainer?

Yes, Magic of the Smith is an equip action.

A. Yes
B. No. (Not an equip action)
C. No. (Not an equip action)

And NRA PAC looks for equip actions.

No, you'd declare what you were doing when you set the terms of the card. You don't say "I'm playing Jack of Both Sides to get some unspecified card from my hand and... now it's unblocked, it's a puppy!"

I assume if it got reprinted it might be even clearer e.g. with Equip after the stealth similar to vulture's buffet ?
