Boggs Rule Clarifications: What does it mean to have an ally “treated as a minion”? Does it become a minion and you lose control of the…

Yes. You lose control of it and any card or ability that would affect a minion also affects that ally. As for whether it’s considered to be an encounter card, that one is definitely up to Caleb and Tony as I don’t believe we ever discussed that internally. My personal argument would be no, it’s not an encounter card—it just happens to be a player card that is also a minion—but the rules reference says that a minion is a type of encounter card, so I could really see the decision going either way. – Boggs (Facebook)
