TCG Mirror Gate

[Thomas★Zero]

 

When an opponent's monster declares an attack targeting a face-up "Elemental HERO" monster you control: Switch control of the opponent's attacking monster with the targeted monster you control, then calculate damage. Control of both monsters switches back during the End Phase.

 

TCG Ruling: According to this card's new errata'd text, during the End Phase the control of the affected monsters change only when both are still present on the field. If one of them is not present on the field at that time, the remaining one doesn't switch control.

 

Due to this I found this card hilarious to play in HERO's given this ruling for it where it allows you to steal your opponents monster while inflicting damage to them.

Wasn't this just another one of Tewarts silly ruling mistakes? Like the whole deal with Xyz Material being on field?

 

I mean, that seems more like the anime version than how the real one works.

A funny card to tech in, but I'd rather choose Super Poly over this.

Tewart is a moron. PSCT was new at the time, and he interpreted the word "both" in a way that completely contradicted the way the card works in the OCG and TCG, completely changing the ruling. While PSCT has indeed improved, this card's ruling for some baffling reason, has remained official in the TCG.

 

The card is still pretty mediocre.

 

Even the anime version didn't make control permanent. It just kept control until the End Phase. Of course, this was never seen for sure in the anime because every time it was used, both monsters got destroyed before the End Phase, such as with the anime Spell version of Chthonian Blast, and Grand Convergence. Other times it was seen, it was destroyed before activation (MST, Uria)

If it could be activated in the reverse scenario it would be pretty interesting. Attack an opponent's monster with an E-Hero, switch, force them to take the damage, then attack with their own monster.
