① Choose 1; ● Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; change that target’s battle position. ● Tribute 1 monster, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; until the End Phase, take control of that target.

Card Rulings¶

• If the monster isn’t face-up in its owner’s control when this resolves, nothing happens to it.

Card Text¶

Select and activate 1 of these effects: ● ① Change the Battle Position of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. ● ② Tribute 1 monster. Select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Take control of it until the End Phase.

Card Rulings¶

• If you activate either of “Enemy Controller”’s effects, and your opponent chains “Book of Moon” to flip the target monster face-down, its targeting conditions are no longer correct when “Enemy Controller” resolves and “Enemy Controller”’s effect disappears.

• The ① effect targets 1 face-up monster your opponent controls.

  • You can activate this effect while you have no monster on your side of the field.

• The ② effect targets 1 face-up monster your opponent controls

  • Tributing a monster is a cost.

  • The monster you gain control of is returned during the End Phase, even if it was flipped face-down (by “Book of Moon”) or leaves the field (by “Interdimensional Matter Transporter”).

  • If you gain control of your opponent’s “Judgment Dragon” during their turn, control is retored before the End Phase concludes (with the end of turn discard), and the turn player will be prompted to activate the mandatory trigger effect to send the top 4 cards of their Deck to the Graveyard. This also applies to other Lightsworn monster with a mandatory end phase trigger effect to send the top cards of the Deck to the Graveyard) [REF].
