Enygma6 said: I noticed this as well when looking into other creature steal failures. One thing I did see, if the opponent has more than one creature, stealing the 1st (affected by Spires) will cause their next creature to drop into the 1st slot and take on the Spired power = 0 effect, and the stolen creature will return to it's normal value.
