This card should seriously have an upkeep cost... so cheap!
A perplexing bug made me lose many times, when I use this card "Mind Control" on the target ally "Aeon Stormcaller" after, my all allies unable to attack.
I have seen the mind contol-Aeon bug many times. And it basically causes you to loose since you can't do anything but end your turn.
As for it being overpowered... Sometimes I think so, but when I see 2 Aldons, 1 Aeon, and 2 Raven Wildhearts, I think it's only fair that I take their unique card.
If it ever does seem to be "too powerful" perhaps an option could be that a mind controlled ally of the human faction takes 1 health damage per turn. Since it is afterall the opposite faction.
I haven't had probs with aldon but had a real bummer with aeon, my hero Zaladar vs Nishaven - I had 4 allies on my side and he had just played aeon, my turn...i used mind control on aeon and I couldn't attack with any of my allies nor aeon for the rest of the turns, until aeon and allies were all killed due to nishavens ability...WHY? I had the game in the bag but in the end defeated cos couldn't make any attacks.
I can see that others have had this problem too...

Yes I have had the same bug twice, though I hadn't realised in was MC that had caused it. Bit annoying, but hopefully an update will fix it.
I like the card I don't think it is overpowered at the moment within the context of the Elemental deck. I think with the controlled creature arriving exhausted your opponent is given an opportunity to start dealing their stray ally.
Forget Mind Control being Portal part 2, I think Mind Control will have the same popularity as it does now in v1.24. I overestimated Mind Control in v1.24 before because I underestimated how important hero equipments will be. I'm guessing decks will shave off ally content and throw in hero equipments so Mind Control will likely see no more than 2 copies in a 30 or 40 card deck.
I disagree. Mind control is best against the most powerful allies, which will still see play.
Unless you think Aeon won't see any more play, mind control will still be huge.
