Card Rulings:Santa Claws
OCG Rulings
- This is a Normal Summon Monster.[1]
- Special Summoning this card from the hand does not start a Chain Link. Tributing 1 monster your opponent controls is part of the procedure to Special Summon this card from your hand to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position.[1]
- The "If Summoned this way, once, during the End Phase of this turn: You can draw 1 card." effect is a Trigger Effect.[1]
Q&A Rulings
- Q: If a "Santa Claws" Special Summoned by the method described in its text returns to your control by the effect of "Owner's Seal", which player can activate the effect that draws a card?
Also, 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", which player draws a card?
- Q: If a "Santa Claws" Special Summoned by the method described in its text returns to your control by the effect of "Owner's Seal", which player can activate the effect that draws a card?
- A: 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.)[2]
- 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.)
- Q: If a "Santa Claws" Special Summoned by the method described in its text is no longer face-up at the time of the End Phase because it was destroyed or similar, can the effect that allows the controller to draw 1 card be activated?
- A: No, it cannot.[3]
- Q: 自分のデッキが0枚の状況で、相手の「Santa Claws」が『①：このカードは相手フィールドのモンスター１体をリリースし、手札から相手フィールドに守備表示で特殊召喚できる』効果によって特殊召喚される際に、自分のモンスターゾーンに存在する「Amorphage Goliath」がリリースされました。
この時、「Amorphous Persona」の『②：このカードがフィールドゾーンに存在する限り、自分フィールドの「アモルファージ」モンスターがリリースされる度に自分はデッキから１枚ドローする。この効果は１ターンに２度まで適用できる』効果は適用されますか？
- Q: 自分のデッキが0枚の状況で、相手の「Santa Claws」が『①：このカードは相手フィールドのモンスター１体をリリースし、手札から相手フィールドに守備表示で特殊召喚できる』効果によって特殊召喚される際に、自分のモンスターゾーンに存在する「Amorphage Goliath」がリリースされました。
- A: 質問の状況のように、相手によって自分のモンスターゾーンに存在する「アモルファージ」と名のついたモンスターがリリースされた場合でも、自分のモンスターゾーンの「アモルファージ」と名のついたモンスターはリリースされていますので、「Amorphous Persona」の効果は適用されドローする処理を行います。
- （質問の状況の場合、自分のデッキは0枚となりますので、ドローする処理を行えず、自分はデュエルに敗北する事になります。）[4]
