Question

We were really heated up in discussions about Mind Control from the upcoming Phoenix-Pack. We were trying to figure out the following case: If a (former) minion with Mind Control attached is the only ally a player has in play and that player reveals beguiled, what happens? How are these constant abilities settled? Can the first player choose? Is this an infinite loop? Would the infinite loop lead to a loss? Follow up: If a (former) ally has beguiled attached to it and the Phoenix player plays Mind Control on that ally, does this change the anything? Additional Question: Mind Control says to consider a minion a “controlled” ally. It seems that it is no longer a minion, so can we infer that the other traits of that minion are lost, too?
