The creature targeted with Hijack, no matter what side of the field it is, is not consumed by Chimera.  Please read the NOTES.

oh I read " as well as being used for Chimera." as like a bonus.

Not making it work with chimera seems like you're just taking away a possible combo.

I have costing 6 since although it is essentially both a PU and Steal, it is essentially easier to get around due to PC.

But if you only have CC you need to kill your creature to get around it (no problem here with permanents).

This got me thinking. What happens if I steal hijack? Do I get to choose a new card to control? What if I hijack a Hijack? (hijacktion)

huh those are interesting uses. kinda high darkness cost to use this card though. really have to dedicate quanta production here

I think that this is what it should cost at a minimum, as it is as strong as PU when applied in a creature, but more flexible.


Would this give players any visual cues? Like a  status icon on the creature/permanent?

[QueenBee]

oh how does this work with pandemonium and voodoo dolls?

[Drake_XIV]

Hijack would be destroyed then replayed, so you get to choose a new target.

If you Hijack a Hijack, the Hijack that got Hijack'd would still be Hijack-ing a card despite a second Hijack Hijack-ing the Hijack played first, before it was Hijack'd by a second Hijack. ... Hijack.

The target card will be given the passive 'Hijacked.'  Although, thinking again, there needs to be something done for permanents, so maybe it will just be a icon.  or the word Hijacked would appear right above the card.  As opposed to ability names, which appear below it.

Pandemonium would affect how the field is arranged.  The Hijacked card is not owned by both Players, it is only controlled by both Players.

Voodoo doll's passive will be dealt to the opponent of the owner.

so basically the monster is just as normal, but when the hijacker starts attacking it swaps to his side of the field for the attack and then goes back? in terms of how all the interactions work.

is shield interaction like normal?

[Drake_XIV]

In terms of how it behaves, it technically does swap sides, albeit not physically.

Shield interactions would be normal.

[QueenBee]

okay so a ghost that shows up on your side of the field when you attack.

would an option to kill the ghost off be out of place or too complicated? (only by the person with the hijack card)

[Drake_XIV]

Nothing would physically appear on the opposing side of the targeted card, so nothing to 'kill.'

yeah I mean like can you stop hijacking the guy
