Short Answer: it works as you would hope, you do  keep it until EOT and then sacrifice it.

Explanation: The spell checks if it is a creature (aka a legal target) twice. Once upon casting of the spell and once upon resolution. At both of those times it is under your opponent's control, so as long as he has sufficient devotion the spell will work

Thanks!

Hello people,
I'm trying to build an artifact commander deck. As you'll see, lots of Sphinxes.
Very passive deck, I just gain life, and when time comes, I enable beast mode.
Got a combo or two to win in there.

Hope you can give me some feedback on how to improve my deck!

I made a token/life/populate deck with Trostani, Selesnya's voice.
That as a commander is kick ass IMHO.

Hello guys,

This is my first post, so if I forget anything, please let me know and I'll adjust it.

So, as you all should know, Gods in the Theros block require devotion in order to become creatures.
I faced a situation the other day where my opponent had the required devotion for his God (Kruphix, God of Horizons), and I played Spinal Embrace.
Combat phase engages
My reasoning was since it's a creature right now, I can target it.
Where I was questioned is once it is under my control, it is not a creature anymore.
Does the gain control effect ends, or does it remain active until the end of my turn, where it is sacrificed even if it isn't a creature anymore?

I hope I was clear enough.

Questions/thoughts, Go!
