LSJ: Zoning Board question

Ok...lets say I have Zoning Board in play. During my untap, I name my prey's hunting ground. One of my minions plays Kine Dominance at superior to steal the location and is successful. I now control the hunting ground. Another of my minions now tries to take the action to put the location away... My questions are: 1. Can I still take the action even though the controller has changed? I didn't notice anything in the cardtext that would indicate that the action cannot still be taken. 2. Who gets the pool cost for the location? The controller or owner? 3. It goes into its OWNERS library, right? Not the controller? Cardtext says owner, I believe (at work...don't have it in front of me) so I just wanted to be sure. 4. The card says ANY minion...not any minion I control. Is this effect similar to that of the Madness Network and lasts until the end of my minion phase? In other words, when I'm done with my actions, can any other untapped minion at the table tap to attempt this action? Or is the card supposed to read any minion *you* control? Sorry for not posting card text. I'm at work and the card is at home and I've yet to see the text posted. Perhaps I'll throw it online when I go home for lunch. Apologies if some of these are answered by card text.

It would allow any minion who was capable of acting during your minion phase another option for his action. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

So, you would destroy the thing even though it is now yours, and gain pool, right ? Weird... Orpheus

No, if you take a D action at yourself, it becomes undirected. >So, you would destroy the thing even though it is now yours, and gain >pool, right ? If I'm understanding everything correctly, yes. You destroy the location you control and gain the pool. Doesn't matter who the owner is, the controller is important.

Actually, if you take an action at yourself it is undirected. It was never D, so it doesn't "change" to undirected - it simply is undirected. See section 6.2.2 of the rulebook. > >So, you would destroy the thing even though it is now yours, and gain > >pool, right ? > > If I'm understanding everything correctly, yes.
