When taking control of other creatures
Asked by Riv329 6 years ago
If I have Homeward Path on the board and my opponent plays Necromancy or Animate Dead can I use Homeward Path to regain control of my creatures or does Homeward Path only work against card like Dragonlord Silumgar

Yes, you can gain control of those creatures with Homeward Path.
A player "owns" all cards that started the game in their deck, command zone, and sideboard, and all tokens that were first created under their control. Effects that put a card from the graveyard/library/etc. onto the battlefield under a different player's control don't change the ownership of a card. The only way to change ownership of a card during a game is by using a small handful of weird old cards that are only allowed if you started the game with the "Ante" rules option (Tempest Efreet, Jeweled Bird, etc.), which hasn't been a part of the official Magic rules for a very long time.

Homeward Path gives players control of all creatures they own, regardless of how they entered the battlefield or what permanents are attached to it.
