The opposing minion can still play damage prevention cards, as long
as they don't require a discipline.

"Only usable if...burned since your last turn."
That text applies to all versions (val, obe, OBE). Allies/retainers can
only be burned from play -- blocked don't count. Neither do discards.

The resurection does not on neither val, obe nor OBE have the requirement
that the Ally/reatiner has to have been burned from play! Defend yourself!

Super-technically, the cards don't _become_ retainers or allies until
the action succeeds -- before that, they're cards allowing an action
(employ or recruit). If that action succeeds, the card enters play and
becomes an ally/retainer.
Note 6.1.5, 'employ ally': "if the action is successful, the ally is
placed in your uncontrolled region...If the action is unsuccessful,
the card is burned." It's only called an ally if the action is successful;
otherwise, it's a 'card.'
Correct. [LSJ 08-DEC-2001]

Correct. It should've said "from play" to make this clear, probably.
