Forum:RDA vs Enemy Controller

I was a judge at a local tournament the other day and I ran into this problem:

Player A had a face-up Red Dragon Archfiend and 2 other monsters with less ATK while Player B had a face-down monster and a set S/T card (Enemy Controller). Player A declared an attack with his RDA and Player B activated Enemy Controller and tributed his monster to take control of RDA. Now, this is where the problem lies; The turn player decided not to attack with his monsters and decided to end the turn and now 2 effects have to resolve, Enemy Controller and RDA but the problem is: Will RDA's effect activate and destroy the monsters when he returns?

We came to this conclusion: Since the turn player had no effects to resolve, it was time for his opponent who was the controller of both RDA and Enemy Controller at the time; since it was not his turn, RDA's effect would not activate and would return to the original owner and since it was still the End Phase, RDA's effect would activate upon his return, destroying the other 2 monsters.

Not really sure if this was the case but this is what we went with. Otakon7 (talk • contribs) 13:39, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
