Q&A Rulings
- Q: During my End Phase, if I activate "Desert Sunlight" and flip my "Subterror Behemoth Voltelluric" face-up, and then activate its effect that takes control of my opponent's Set monster, how long do I gain control of that monster?
- A: The effect of "Subterror Behemoth Voltelluric" takes control of the targeted monster until your next End Phase. In this scenario, if the effect was activated during your End Phase, you gain control of the targeted monster until the End Phase of your following turn.[2]
- Q: I activated the "FLIP
- " effect of "Subterror Behemoth Voltelluric" and took control of my opponent's face-down Defense Position "Subterror Behemoth Ultramafus". If I Flip Summon that "Subterror Behemoth Ultramafus", then activate its Ignition Effect that changes it to face-down Defense Position again, what happens?
- A: In this scenario, even if a monster you took control of with the effect of "Subterror Behemoth Ultramafus" is flipped face-up and/or flipped face-down, the effect continues to be applied normally. Therefore, control of "Subterror Behemoth Ultramafus" still returns to your opponent during your next End Phase.[3]
