Taking control of your opponents Elesh Norn
I was playing a game on Arena where I gained control of my opponents Elesh Norn: Mother of Machines through the resolution of a Kiora Bests the Sea God. I thought that my having control of this card would relieve me of the text that permanents entering the battle field under "opponent's control" do not activate abilities of permanents your "opponent controls". It did not however and my next two ETB's were prevented despite my control of Elesh Norn. I'm confused by this. Wouldn't the card being under my control mean that it is targeting my opponent, not me? Even if I took control of it after it had been played?
