Rules Q&A
- Q: If I am playing Halls of Memory and control the Shadow Dragon, can I use his battle action to take control of my opponent's personality even without any people at the current battlefield?
I.E. does change of control meet the conditions of the exemption to the Rule of Presence?
A: No.
Halls of Memory allows you to ignore (part of) the Rule of Location, but the exception to the Rule of Presence says, A player who controls no units at the current battlefield may take a Battle Action whose costs or effects say they are able to move, create, or bring into play one or more of his units there.
Taking control of another player's Personality does none of those. Alex Jones, "Change of Control and Rule of Presence (The Shadow Dragon)", 6 Aug 2012
