Rules Q&A

• Q: The question came up (in a multiplayer game, surprisingly enough) about the default controller and location of a created cards. After checking out the rules (though admittedly, not to exhaustively cause I was using a stupid Iphone) I was unable to find an answer.
  Can a player use Summon Maseru no Oni to create an Oni in his opponent's home? I would assume then that the created personality is controlled by the opponent.

  A: They enter play like any other card - by default in their controller's home.
  They have their controller determined like any other card - by default the player who brought them into play.
