What leads you to suspect you'd get to keep it? Are you expecting you'd keep it until the turn _after_ or something?

@doppelgreener My guess would be the idea is the second effect might overwrite the first somehow, and make it forget where to go back to. (Perhaps by analogy to blinking with Cloudshift or one of the ways you *can* keep something by turning it into a new object, but without understanding the underlying rules.)

If I was to cast two "take control of a creature until end of turn" spells, like [Act of Treason](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bAct%20of%20Treason%5d), twice on the same creature in the same turn, do I keep it ?
