Enchant creature

At the beginning of your end step, clash with an opponent. If you win, gain control of enchanted creature. Otherwise, that player gains control of enchanted creature. (Each clashing player reveals the top card of their library, then puts that card on their choice of the top or bottom. A player wins if their card had a greater mana value.)

Official rulings

  1. Captivating Glance may cause a player to gain control of a creature they already control. This layers a new control effect on that creature, but doing so rarely has any visible effect. (2007-10-01)
  2. Captivating Glance's control-change effect continues to apply even if Captivating Glance leaves the battlefield. (2007-10-01)
  3. The ability triggers at the end of Captivating Glance's controller's turn. "You" refers to the controller of Captivating Glance, not the controller of the enchanted creature. (2007-10-01)
  4. Captivating Glance's controller never changes as a result of this card. (2007-10-01)
  5. The opponent you clash with doesn't have to be the controller of the enchanted creature. (2007-10-01)
  6. If you win the clash, you gain control of the enchanted creature. If you don't win the clash, the other player gains control of the enchanted creature (even if that player didn't win the clash either). (2007-10-01)
