Forum:Creature swap question

I'm running a zombie deck and I was wondering about the use of creature swap.

Spirit Reaper - This card cannot be destroyed by battle. Destroy this card when it is targeted by the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster. If this card successfully attacks directly, your opponent randomly discards 1 card.

Creature Swap - Each player selects 1 monster they control and switches control of those monsters with each other. Those monsters cannot change their battle positions for the rest of this turn.

If I activate creature swap and I have 3 monsters on my side of the field (one of them being Spirit Reaper) ...if I select spirit reaper as the monster who I want to give to my opponent, does it go to my opponent or does it get destroyed since it was targeted? Also if it gets destroyed...why...because the card doesn't specifically target it...I selected it...not sure if theres a difference but some clarity would be nice. If it does get destroyed does my opponent still give me a monster? And do I give my opponent nothing or do I have to pick a different monster? What if Spirit Reaper was the only monster on my side of the field when I activated Creature Swap?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. 137.104.233.168 17:31, 3 March 2009 (UTC)Picasso
