Question

131 – Beguiled says that the attached ally engages it’s controller but neither manipulated mind or poolizied say that the ally engages anyone when the attachment attaches. Do allies automatically engage their control when an attachment says to treat them as a minion? If not would allies with the poolizied or manipulate mind attachment still activate against their controller when other minions activate? Do they count towards your ally limit?

Answer

Manipulated Mind has an erratum in RR v1.5, giving it the text “Attached ally engages its controller.” We want it and ‘Pool-ized to function similarly to Beguiled, where an engagement step occurs when the ally becomes a minion. (And no, they don’t count toward your ally limit while they are minions.)
