Conscription

A card's current status is defined by its current control and owner. A card changes control status through conscription

Owner

The owner of the card is the player who brought the card into the game. You own all cards in your primary and secondary deck, as well as any Royal cards that have your player icon on them. The owner of a card never changes. When a card goes to the discard, it always goes to the discard of its owner

Controller

By default, you control all cards that you own. When a card is in your hand, deck or Limbo, you control it. When you play a card, you control it, regardless of whether or not you own the card, or the card came from one of your playing areas

Conscription

Conscription is the process of changing control of a card in play. While conscription usually refers to units, it can apply to any card type. When you are instructed to conscript a card, you become the card's new controller. Conscription lasts indefinitely unless the conscription has a stated expiration, or until conscription changes again. A player cannot conscript a card that they currently control, but they can conscript a card they own but do not currently control.
