( for the record, that title IS the first attempt of a joke in english ;) )

hi again, just a QQ (Quick Question).

i know that creature swap doesn't target....but its considered as a card that "takes control of a monster"?...i'm a bit confused, becouse of a situation where player A had a face up mataza, and player B had a BLS-ETOB, and player A used creature swap, but he didn't hanlde mataza to the other player....saying that when mataza is face up, he can't be controlled by other card and blah blah blah...u know the effect of mataza, but, making logic, creature swap doesn't control the monster, does it?..it's just a trade (alas, my joke in the title), but then again...i don't make the rules, so if you could help me on this one?...thks a bunch!
 
Creature Swap
Both players select 1 monster on their respective fields and switch control of them to each other. The battle positions of these cards cannot change during the turn this card is activated.
Creature Swap does switch control of the monster. If one player has 1 monster on his side of the field and that monster is a face-up Mataza the Zapper, no one can activate Creature Swap because Creature Swap won't be able to resolve properly.
 
Both players must have at least 1 eligble monster each for Creature Swap to be activated, and Mataza is not an eligble monster, there for, CS cannot be played in your given scenario. If Mataza was face down however, then you're in luck, seeing as you could then flip it face up ((seeing as flip summoning is not the same as switching battle position)) and keep it. Thats the way I see it judging by the rulings
