... read the NOTES

I mean as an added feature, not an already existing one.

also who has time to read notes?

I think Hijacking means Robbing or stealing a vehicle.
why would it attack the hijacker?

... people browsing this board and are commenting on ideas that have questions regarding the mechanic of the card.

To hijack is to forcibly take control of something.  My idea is that it isn't a complete hijacking, the card still retains some control over the card.

Think two people trying to steer the same car or something.

Doesnt make sense...
brain fart*

    annex, appropriate, arrogate, borrow, clap hands on, commandeer, confiscate, expropriate, get fingers on, get hands on, glom onto, grab, grab hold of, hijack , kipe, liberate, moonlight requisition, preempt, seize, snatch, swipe, take over, usurp

that's enough bolding

[Drake_XIV]

And those emphasize a more, I feel, severe version a card and indicate complete control over the card.

hijack is pretty severe to me and also sounds a little funky as a card name. all a matter of preference though

Some questions:
Does the targeted card still take up a creature/permanent slot?
If the targeted card is a Phoenix and it dies, is the Ash also Hijacked?
Would a Hijacked creature with Gravity Pull take damage from both sides?
If a Bone Wall was targeted what would happen?

The targeted card remains in its slot during the duration of the Hijacking.  All that changes is how it interacts.

When the Phoenix dies, it is no longer Hijacked, removing Hijack from the field.

No, a Hijacked creature with GPull would only take damage from the player that does not own it.

If Bone Wall is targeted, the stack blocks attacks from both sides.

if you use it on a Fahrenheit whose quanta determines the damage?
how does it work with deja vu?

if you use mutation on it does hijack die or do you continue hijacking the now mutated thing

[Drake_XIV]

When used on Fahrenheit, it depends on whose turn it is.

When used with Deja Vu, the copy is made on the side who used the ability.

Mutation will remove Hijack.

What happens if you use this on a voodoo doll?

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

Sorry, I must have missed that post.

Also, if you hijack a cloak, will it reset the duration (which is what happens with steal)?

Lots of little details to work out on the mechanics on this one, but I think it will be a very good card once that is finished.

Another fun  spinoff would be an twin ... maybe something like "Schizophrenia". It would make the target occassionally switch sides  at the start of each player's turn.
