Answer

Ruling: The active player who used the charm becomes the defender. The opposing player whose unit was moved becomes the attacker.

Nuances:

  • The key factor is which unit contested the battlefield, not which ability caused the movement
  • The unit that was moved is the one that contested the battlefield, making its controller the attacker
