Correct [1.6.1.5]. Except that "second chance" goes to the "defending
Methuselah" - the target of the action or the controller of the blocking
minion, as appropriate.

Correct. [RTR 07-JUL-1998]
Note: Powerbase: New York also has that sort of errata. [RTR 28-SEP-1998].
All powerbases function this way - the "steal" action cannot be attempted

As James said in a follow-up post: You can play more than one, but
the effect is not cumulative.
