| − | To '''control''' (Japanese: コントロール ''Kontorōru'') a card is to have that card on one's own side of the [[field]]. A card's controller is distinct from its [[owner]].
| + | Cards such as "[[Change of Heart]]", "[[Creature Swap]]" and "[[Enemy Controller]]" allow one to take control of [[Monster Cards|monsters]] owned by one's opponent. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Mechanics==
| + | When a monster switches Control to you, place it on your side of the field. It is returned to the original owner's [[Graveyard]] when sent to the Graveyard in any way. |
| − | Unless specifically permitted, only a card's controller can interact with it in the following ways:
| |
| − | * [[Look]] at it (if it is [[face-down]])
| |
| − | * [[Activate]] it (if it is a [[Set]] [[Spell Card|Spell]] or [[Trap Card]])
| |
| − | * Activate its effects
| |
| − | * [[Tribute]] it
| |
| − | * Use it as a [[material]] for a [[Summon]]
| |
| − | * Have it conduct an [[attack]]
| |
| − | * Change its [[battle position]]
| |
| | | | |
| − | ==Changing control==
| |
| − | By default, cards remain under the control of their [[owner]]s, but several cards can [[changes control|change control]] of monsters on the [[field]], such as "[[Change of Heart]]" and "[[Creature Swap]]". When a monster switches control, it is placed in a [[Main Monster Zone]] on its new controller's side of the field (even if it was in an [[Extra Monster Zone]]). The new controller chooses which Main Monster Zone to place it in. Some monsters (such as "[[Mataza the Zapper]]" and "[[Blindly Loyal Goblin]]") [[cannot change control]]. Only monsters that are already on the field can change control; [[Special Summon]]ing a monster that is in the opponent's [[possession]] to the player's field (such as due to the effect of "[[Conscription]]" or "[[Goyo Guardian]]") is not considered changing control of that monster.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If a monster becomes treated as an [[Equip Card]], it is moved to the [[Spell & Trap Zone]] of the player whose effect caused it to be treated as one, and thus that player becomes its controller. For example, if "[[Relinquished]]" takes control of an opposing "[[Ryu-Kishin]]", it is placed in the Spell & Trap Card Zone of the controller of "Relinquished". Monsters that cannot change control cannot be equipped to monster in a way that would change their controller.

| |
| − | When a card [[leaves the field]], it returns to its owner's [[possession]], regardless of its controller.
