Karn, the Great Creator and Stolen Creatures

raz

I was playing one of the recent events, and the AI's deck was built around stealing my creatures (either with swapping or Treason-style abilities and spells).

I had Karn on the battlefield, and his passive is, for those not familiar, "While this support is on the board, your opponent can't cast Artifact supports and all  your opponent's Artifact creatures on the battlefield are Disabled."

Yes when the AI stole my Fell Flagship, which is a "Creature - Vehicle Pirate Artifact", it was able to attack.

Unfortunately the event has ended so I wasn't able to test it with other artifact creatures. But it seems that there is a great amount of inconsistency in how stolen creatures are handled, and who the owner or controller is.

But this is a pretty big one, especially considering what I spent getting the card.

@raz - you have stumbled into one of the murkier parts of MTGPQ which is the owner/controller issue, which is totally undetermined in many instances.

If I was you, I would not expect any resolution anytime soon.
