Mind Control Card states, "You may move and attack with target squad creature an opponent controls that is within 4 clear sight spaces of a  Planeswalker you control." Q1. Is targeted creature maximum movement the same as it's card movement while under mind control? Q2. Is targeted creature able to move after an attack? Q3. Can targeted creature move outside of the 4 clear sight spaces and still be under mind control? Q4. Is Q3 the same for Jace's ability Mind Stealer? |

Mind Control Card states, "You may move and attack with target squad creature an opponent controls that is within 4 clear sight spaces of a Planeswalker you control." Q1. Is targeted creature maximum movement the same as it's card movement while under mind control? Yes, but it still follows all normal movement rules. Q2. Is targeted creature able to move after an attack? No, it follows all normal rules, which say move first, then attack. Q3. Can targeted creature move outside of the 4 clear sight spaces and still be under mind control? Yes Q4. Is Q3 the same for Jace's ability Mind Stealer? Yes |

In all honesty, I've found Jace's mind control to me unbelievably powerful. Several times I'll move him in close enough to a planeswalker and then if I can mind control, I just move them around, provoking as many attacks from movement as I can. This works great against higher defense characters like Gideon since he doesn't roll defense against these kind of attacks.

A question, Stealthpike. You mention moving a mind controlled PW around provoking attacks. Are you referring to the Leaving Engagement type attack? I ask, because once you have used Mind Control on Gideon, he is part of your army and your opponent has the choice of making a leaving engagement attack on Gideon or not.
Leaving Engagement attacks are optional, not mandatory. That means your opponent would not be required to make an attack on a figure that will be quickly returning to his army. And your figures may not make Leaving Engagement attacks on Mind Controlled Gideon, because he is part of your army for that turn.

Does mind control unit count it's enchantments/abilities while atacking ie. Blazing Firecats' intensive strike.

If Jace does Mind Control the Blazing Firecats, the Firecats are able to gain the intensive strike bonus if they roll enough swords.

I think in the games I usually play, there are 4 or 5 people playing, so it's more like moving Gideon past firecats or zombies, rather than his own troops.

Can you attack your opponent's units while he is using Mind Stealer?
ex: Can you attack Nissa's elementals while controlling her with Mind Stealer?

Yes you can. While you are controlling a planeswalker with Jace's Mind Stealer ability, that planeswalker is temporarily friendly to you and your units and an enemy figure to other units.
In your example, when Jace takes control of Nissa she is temporarily an enemy of her elementals so can attack them.
