Chthonian Soldier
Card effect (current official text)When this card is destroyed by an opponent's attacking monster and sent to the Graveyard, the Battle Damage you took from this battle is also inflicted to your opponent.
Rulings
- The damage dealt by this card’s effect is Effect Damage, not Battle Damage.
- This card’s effect is a Trigger Effect. It activates in the GY.
- If the opponent takes control of your "Chthonian Soldier" with "Snatch Steal" and you attack it next turn, its effect will not activate because when it is sent to your GY, it was not your opponent’s monster that attacked it.
