If there is a tie for highest life, the Ogre does not switch controllers. [D'Angelo 1998/06/03]
It checks the life totals during the resolution of the ability. [D'Angelo 1998/06/03]
The Ogre's changing of controllers is a new effect each upkeep so it will take precedence over any other control effects. This means that using Control Magic on a Ghazban Ogre won't guarantee that you keep it. [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 98]

The animating ability sets the initial characteristics for the land creature. So, while you can use the ability again, it won't have any additional effect if used more than once. [Urza's Legacy FAQ 1999/02/03]

Ghostly Flame
Color Multi
Type Enchantment
Cost Cost=BR
Expansion IA(R)
Text(IA+errata):Black and/or red permanents and spells are colorless sources of damage. [Oracle 2000/02/01]
Does not make red and black spells and permanents colorless. They still have color. A red spell cannot target a creature with Protection from Red due to this. The spells just act like colorless sources when dealing damage. [D'Angelo 1995/06/09]
If the source has more than one color but at least one is red or black, then the damage is colorless and all the other colors are forgotten. [D'Angelo 1995/06/21]
It does not change the color of the source, so that things that trigger on a red spell doing damage (such as Justice) will still trigger. [bethmo 1996/04/18] The damage itself thinks it came from a colorless source, however.
The effect is continuous and applies whenever something looks at the damage. If this card leaves play, damage from red and black spells will appear as its normal color. In other words, the color was not removed from the damage, the color just could not be determined while this card is in effect. [Aahz 1997/03/17]
