steal the soul

By keaSanya, in CoC Rules Discussion

i use steal the soul on Yig (steal his 3T 1A icon's at my character without any icons for example) after Yig and my character committed to the story. if Yig will change one of his T-icons what icons will have my charachet?

1)3T 1A

2)2T 2C 2A

Your character will have whatever Yig's icons were at the point that you stole them. They cannot be effected retroactively.

I'm still new to the game. We first used this card last night, and it seemed overpowered. I feel as if the text should mean that you replace the icons of one card with the icons of the other, but since it just says "gain" it would seem to mean literally that they are added to your icons.

Which is the case?

The icons are added. This is a very good card, especially in the beginning of a game, but I don't think it is overpowered. There are stronger cards than that.

Thanks for the response. That's what I guessed, but it was very easy for me to say "I bet it's not that powerful later in the game" when I was the one playing it and had two or three very early on. haha.
