Rulings (3)
- If Master Thief ceases to be under your control before its ability resolves, you won’t gain control of the targeted artifact at all.
- If Master Thief leaves the battlefield, you no longer control it, and its control-change effect ends.
- If another player gains control of Master Thief, its control-change effect ends. Regaining control of Master Thief won’t cause you to regain control of the artifact.
