Answer

Ruling: Strike/Defense does not end when a player loses control of their unit after it has been declared as an attacker.

Sequence:

  • Reveal Hostile Takeover from Hidden on a lone attacker
  • Hostile Takeover resolves, opponent gets focus
  • Opponent passes
  • Use Hidden Blade from hand to take control of their unit
  • Draw 2 cards from Hidden Blade
  • Strike/Defense continues despite the attacker changing control
