Card effect (current official text)Activate only if you have no Synchro Monsters on your side of the field or in your Graveyard. Pay 1000 Life Points and select 1 face-up Synchro Monster your opponent controls. Take control of the selected monster until the End Phase of your turn.
Rulings
- Paying 1000 Life Points is a cost.
- This targets your opponent’s Synchro Monster.
- If you take control of a Synchro Monster and then flip it face-down, you will keep it until your End Phase and then return control of it as normal.
- If the monster targeted by "Synchro Control" is flipped face-down before the effect resolves you do not gain control of it.
