Xyz Material

I'm guessing Xyz Material would not be included in this? -Bhigpx (talk • contribs) 17:14, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

They're part of the Xyz Monster, so if you're referring to that of Xyz Material not being possessing directly, then yes, that's correct - since it's not a card on the field, but a orbit of the Xyz Monster itself. In order to possessing it; possessing the Xyz Monster. --iFredCat 17:19, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman

The last time I got on Dueling Network, I summoned Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman in a duel against a friend. I told him Dragons on his field, in hand, and Graveyard can't activate their effects since this card's text states "also Dragon-Type monsters in your opponent's possession cannot activate their effects".

I read this article well, but was I correct in saying to him that dragons in his hand and Graveyard, as well as that he controlled, couldn't activate their effects since I controlled Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman? Or should it have been only Dragons he controlled? I'm still not entirely sure after reading this article.--Cyber Dragon (Talk) (Contributions) 17:00, March 7, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, but that is literally the clearest definition for "possession" there is. Keep in mind that this page has a citation to where the definition is stated in the official rulebook; if you read it there, it may make more sense in context. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 18:45, March 7, 2016 (UTC)

I own and have read several copies of official rulebooks that come with structure decks. The first time in memory that I've ever seen "in your opponent's possession" mentioned in a monster's effect instead of "your opponent controls" is with Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman.--Cyber Dragon (Talk) (Contributions) 19:03, March 7, 2016 (UTC)

It's understandable if you've never seen the term before, since the term is relatively new. Just so long as you checked the rulebook link, then you should be fine. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 19:14, March 7, 2016 (UTC)
