Impulse (HSFV-098)
Choose one in-game card that has a discard to use effect in play by your opponent. You may use that card this turn.
Does this card take control of your opponent's card, or does the opponent still control the card, while you get to use the effect?

When a player plays Impulse, all eligible cards in play can no longer use their Trigger effect until Impulse is done with its effect. Impulse does not take control of your opponents card, you simply choose which card Impulse is activating, and then the effect goes off.
In other words, when a player plays Impulse, the owner of a Trigger effect cannot THEN activate their card to keep their opponent from doing so.
Does this answer your question?

Mostly, but brings up other questions.
1. Who controls the Trigger effect? The person who has the Trigger card in play, or the player of Impulse?
2. Is Impulse immune to cards with a Trigger effect that counters a special card? David Blake for example?

1. The player playing Impulse
2. David Blake does not counter, it just allows it’s user to Ignore the effect of an Event.
If you are trying to use Impulse and then trigger David Blake to Ignore it, it doesn’t work how you likely think it does.
You play Impulse and name the card you are Triggering.
The named card then Triggers and completes its effect.
David Blake has nothing to Ignore, as Impulse allows you to activate a Trigger effect. If you are trying to Ignore the effect of Impulse on one of YOUR cards, it won’t work because the effect of Impulse does not happen against you or on your turn.

Sorry, David was a mistake. I meant something that actually counters, like Marcus' Kyala ally.

I had to point this out to players at the Regional and will repeat it here:
You are the one with a Counter, so you need to tell your opponent to slow down their play because of timing.
When the Impulse is played but before the card is named us when you have to Counter it.

It was just your response of "When a player plays Impulse, all eligible cards in play can no longer use their Trigger effect until Impulse is done with its effect" that made me question that part.

This is all a very fine line. People are looking for some loophole. Because you are looking to play a Counter that is also a Trigger, you must let your opponent know HE has to play slowly so you have a chance to hit your exact timing. There is a brief moment when Impulse hits the table and before it’s target is named that it can be Countered by a Trigger effect. After Impulse has been played and it’s target has been named but BEFORE it activates it’s effect you can then use a non-Trigger Counter effect.

Right there with you. People need to pay attention to their counters. At our last event I actually stopped before resolving something and reminded my opponent that that moment was when they needed to counter (with your card, as a matter of fact  ) |
