Card Rulings:Owner's Seal
Contents
OCG Rulings
- The effect of "Owner's Seal" also applies to face-down Defense Position monsters.[1]
- Your "Lava Golem" etc. that was Special Summoned to the opponent's field is returned to the control of its owner.[1]
- "Owner's Seal" is not an effect that only applies during the turn it was activated. After the effect has been applied, as long as control isn't changed again by activating "Mind Control", etc., the monsters remain under the control of their respective owners.[1]
Q&A Rulings
- Q: If "Owner's Seal" is activated while an "Ojama Token" is in a Monster Zone, who becomes the controller of the "Ojama Token"?
- A: The owner of an "Ojama Token" is the player who activated "Ojama Trio". If you activated "Ojama Trio", when "Owner's Seal" resolves, control of the "Ojama Tokens" returns to you. At this time, if you do not have enough room in your Monster Zones for all the "Ojama Tokens", the extras are destroyed. (Note that the effect of "Ojama Trio" that inflicts damage to the controller of an "Ojama Token" when it is destroyed is still applied normally, and since the destroyed Tokens were not able to return to your control, your opponent is the one who takes the damage.)[2]
- Q: "World Legacy Tokens" have been Special Summoned to each player's field by the effect of my "World Legacy - "World Lance"". What happens to the "World Legacy Tokens" if "Owner's Seal" is activated?
- A: The owner of each World Legacy Token is the player who activated the effect of "World Legacy - "World Lance"". In this scenario, since the Tokens on each player's field were Special Summoned by the effect of your "World Legacy - "World Lance"", you will gain control of the "World Legacy Tokens" on your opponent's field when the effect of "Owner's Seal" is applied.[3]
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Santa Claws: The player who can draw a card with the effect of "Santa Claws" that activates during the End Phase is the player who activates the effect. Therefore, if a "Santa Claws" Special Summoned by the method described in its text returns to your control by the effect of "Owner's Seal", the player who can activate the effect to draw a card is you. (The opponent cannot draw a card.) In the same way, if "Remove Brainwashing" is activated in a chain to the effect of a "Santa Claws" controlled by the opponent, so that you take control of that "Santa Claws", the opponent is who draws a card. (You cannot draw a card.)[4]
- Scrap Fist: Even if the opponent activates "Enemy Controller" in a chain to the activation of "Scrap Fist", so that control of the targeted "Junk Warrior" has moved to the opponent by the time the effect would resolve, the effect resolves. (Afterwards, providing control returns to you by an effect like "Owner's Seal" and an attack is performed, each of the "•" effects are applied normally.)[5]
Previously Official Rulings

- Wall of Ivy: If "Remove Brainwashing" or "Owner's Seal" is activated, control of the "Ivy Token" is shifted to the player that activated "Wall of Ivy's" effect.
