I was trying to find answer for this in these forums and on tzu website, but I never found the correct answer.
So here is the scenario. I have an Ice Fisherman in play and it is winter. I am the first player so I start during the Marshaling phase (first active player). From what I know players count gold on the beggining when they become active player so if i discard my opponents location or something like that he will not get the gold for marshalling this round. But can I use Ice Fishermans ability to steal some gold??? I dont know, since he is affecting gold pool, does player in marshaling phase has gold in the gold pool even though it was not his turn yet?If not then I would have to go always second to use his ability and this guy has a very limited use then.
