Rules
10/08/2026
[DOM]Can be used to take control of the target at any point during the appropriate minion phase. It does not have to be done before non-mandatory actions. [LSJ 20001201]
10/08/2026
[DOM]If used to steal a minion targeted by an action, the action continues with the same target. Methuselahs who declined to block do not get another opportunity. If the target is not legal anymore (eg. [DOM] {Slaughtering the Herd}), the action fizzles (ends successfully with no effect). [LSJ 20020725]
10/08/2026
[DOM]If used to steal a minion attempting to block, if the block attempt becomes illegal, the block attempt fails. [LSJ 20080326]
10/08/2026
[DOM]If used to steal a minion during an action, Methuselahs who declined to block are still declining to block. The new controller, if he is eligible and has not declined to block yet, can block with the stolen minion even if the previous controller has declined to block. [PIB 20150501]
10/08/2026
[DOM]If used to steal a vampire in combat, combat ends. Any damage yet to resolve still resolves before the change of control. [LSJ 20020618]
10/08/2026
[DOM]If one is ousted while having temporary control of a minion, the minion is removed from the game. (Reversal of Previous Rulings) [ANK 20181110] [LSJ 20081105]
10/08/2026
[DOM]The "does not unlock as normal" effect is redundant with being infernal. If the minion is infernal, his controller can still pay a pool to unlock him. [LSJ 20050114]
10/08/2026
[DOM]The stolen minion is removed from the game when he should return to a Methuselah who has been ousted. [ANK 20181110]
10/08/2026
[DOM]The stolen minion returns to his previous controller even if he is in torpor/incapacitated (but stays in torpor/incapacitated). [LSJ 20010119]
10/08/2026
