I'm aware Cloud, Midgar Mercenary is not released yet but his abilities are nothing new. While there is not much to talk about equipment-based attack triggers I wonder if Skullclamp trigger will be doubled as well (to draw 4 cards total). Will it use "last known information" after Cloud dies due to having 0 toughness or it will not trigger at all since Cloud is not equipped in a graveyard?

Yes, Skullclamp, like all dies triggers, looks back to just before the event occurred to see if it should trigger. So when Skullclamp looks back it sees that Cloud was equipped so Cloud's ability is taken into consideration when it triggers. This ability is similar to Teysa Karlov so it isn't exactly new.
