Mate vs Illusion
 

Player A faces some monster of level 7. Player B boosts monster with +5. And after that Player B uses Mate. Now Player A fights versus enemies with strength of 24.
Now Player A plays Illusion and put into fight monster of level 5 instead of original monster of level 7.
Question: what is the power of enemies of Player A? 17 (12 from Mate and 5 from monster or 10 (mate changes to newly put monster)?
Thank You

Re: Mate vs Illusion
 

There are two possible answers.

If you replace the original monster, Mate will duplicate the new monster, whatever it is.

If, however, you replace the Mate (which is itself a monster and therefore a valid target of Illusion), then obviously the original monster is still in place.
