Karona, False God
Asked by insertcleverid 13 years ago
Having trouble finding a ruling that relates to this. Does the "You" in the second ability refer to the owner, or the controller?
thx

From all the comments on The Gatherer, I am believing that each person in control of that card chooses the second ability.
People were talking about using it in "Group Hug" EDH decks, which makes sense in conjunction with the ability.

A card's text is always only talking to its controller unless it specifically says otherwise, so instances of "you" are addressing the current controller of Karona, whoever that may happen to be.

109.5. The words you and your on an object refer to the objects controller, its would-be controller (if a player is attempting to play, cast, or activate it), or its owner (if it has no controller). For a static ability, this is the current controller of the object its on. For an activated ability, this is the player who activated the ability. For a triggered ability, this is the controller of the object when the ability triggered, unless its a delayed triggered ability. To determine the controller of a delayed triggered ability, see rules 603.7df.
"You" always refers to controller.

Sorry, theemptyquiver, you were first, but rules quotes win.
Thanks to you both.

you and your always refers to the controller of the spell, permanent, or ability

It looks to me like it refers to whoever is controlling the card at that time she is attacking.
Presumably each person is going to be attacking with her so they would take advantage of that ability.
Unless there is an updated wording. Which there may be.
