Doomed Traveler and control gaining effects.
Asked by KingSorin 12 years ago
If I have a Doomed Traveler , and my opponent re-animates it with Havengul Lich or steals it with Act of Treason , and it dies when it's still under his control, who gets the spirit token?

Otherwise it might read "It's owner puts a 1/1 white Spirit creature token with flying onto the battlefield".

JoshuaAwesome is correct.
The text contains an implied "you" right after the comma. The "you" is referring to the player currently controlling the creature, spell or ability, just like it is in any time the word "you" is used on a card.
Remember, permanents going to the graveyard always use the "last known information" to determine what happens to it's abilities/effects. That means, even though it goes to your graveyard, it recognizes that the player who controlled it should get the token.

Whoever's controlling it.
