Card Rulings:Santa Claws

OCG Rulings

• This is a Normal Summon Monster.

• Special Summoning this card from the hand does not start a Chain Link. Tributing 1 monster your opponent controls is part of the procedure to Special Summon this card from your hand to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position.

• The "If you do, during this turn's End Phase: The controller can draw 1 card." effect is a Trigger Effect.

• The player who can draw a card with the "If Summoned this way, during the End Phase of this turn: You can draw 1 card." effect is the player who activates the effect during the End Phase. Therefore, if a "Santa Claws" Special Summoned by the method described in its text returns to your control by the effect of "Owner's Seal", the player who can draw a card by the "If Summoned this way, during the End Phase of this turn: You can draw 1 card." effect is you. (The opponent cannot draw a card.) In the same way, if "Remove Brainwashing" is activated in a chain to the "If Summoned this way, during the End Phase of this turn: You can draw 1 card." effect of a "Santa Claws" controlled by the opponent, even if you take control of that "Santa Claws", the opponent is who draws a card. (You cannot draw a card.)

• If a "Santa Claws" Special Summoned by the method described in its text is no longer face-up on the field during the End Phase, the "If Summoned this way, during the End Phase of this turn: You can draw 1 card." effect cannot be activated.
