Q: A Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King on my field is unaffected by monster and Trap effects due to its own effect. In this situation, my opponent activates the effect of Lyna the Light Charmer and targets Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King. After that effect has resolved, if my opponent activates Forbidden Chalice and negates the effects of Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King, what happens?
A: In this scenario, when the effect of Lyna the Light Charmer resolved, Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King was unaffected by monster effects, so your opponent did not take control of it. Even if the effects of Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King are negated afterward, control of it does not change to your opponent.
