So I'm reading the forums and people are mentioning Shathrah who I had the inconviniece of fighting yesterday at the pre-release for Armor Wars. I took her down but not before she did her damage on me. The main damage was in poison.

My question is, if I mind control her and she is adjacent to one of her allies, before I have her attack it can I cause poison damage first? Or is this not valid? Thanks for any info you can provide.

This should be posted on the "Rules of Combat" forum, but no, you would not be able to use her Poison after a successful Mind Control. The reason for this is that Poison can only activated at the beginning of the controlling player's turn...
