Change of Heart	Netrep Q&As	Q: Say Player A plays "Snatch Steal" on Player B's "Jinzo". Then Player B uses "Change of Heart" on "Jinzo" and then "Book of Moon". What would happen to "Jinzo"? A: During the End Phase "Jinzo" would return to the previous controller. Player A, based on your example. Curtis Schultz, 01/18/2004
Change of Heart	Netrep Q&As	Q: If the opponent activates "Change of Heart" or "Snatch Steal" with only 3 Monster Zone spaces remaining and you chain with "Ojama Trio", what will happen to the monster the opponent is trying to take control of? A: When they take control of the monster, if there are no longer any open Monster Zone spaces for the taken monster it will be destroyed. Curtis Schultz, 01/28/2004
Change of Heart	Netrep Q&As	Q: Can "Change of Heart" or "Snatch Steal" be activated to destroy an opponent's monster if all 5 Monster Zone spaces are full or does it only happen during the resolution of a chain? A: It is during the resolution of a chain. If you do not have any empty zones in your Monster Zone you cannot activate "Change of Heart" or "Snatch Steal" to take control of an opponent's monster.

Change of Heart	Netrep Q&As	Q: If I use "Change of Heart" on a face up monster and then my opponent chains "Book of Moon" to flip his monster face-down, does my "Change of Heart" lose its target or do I get the monster that is now in face-down Defense Position? A: "Change of Heart" will take control of the monster as normal. "Change of Heart" can be used to take control of a face-up or face-down monster, so using "Book of Moon" doesn't prevent "Change of Heart" from resolving, or the monster from returning at the end of the turn.
