file Trying to get Life Boon not banned, suggested Errata

It is to many that know me not a secret I love Life Boon.
I think it is such an amazing card, not just what it does but the art and the flavor of it as well.
I also get that it is exploited like crazy in tournaments and that something has to happen.
But it is also a great card for walls to actually work, since people can easily either self-oust (out of spite) or just fall in the wrong order.

And life boon kinda works against both those things.

Hence I propose the following errata instead of banning it.

```
Out-of-turn. Boon.
Give pool to a Methuselah with no pool to keep them in the game, and put this card in play. During each of their unlock phases, you can steal 1 pool from that Methuselah. Burn this card after you have gained 1 victory point.
```

Removing the VP stealing removes the exploitable nature or it. It is still a good boon to try, as you can control how the pool trickels down. If `their unlock phase` is considered too strong as you can oust your prey and then in their turn take the 1 you give them back that can also be `in your unlock`.

But this should clean up the card completely right? I am open to people that want to try the card like this if I play a wall/conboon deck. Or to hear of ways to exploit it still if it would have this errata.

If giving it an errata is a money thing (art license etc) I am willing to setup a `gofundme` kind of thing for that. =D

Using Life Boon against self oust is interesting, but such pool transfer mechanic starts to look like Succubus Club, which was banned for a reason.

But not for that reason specifically :)
