[Oracle 1999/09/03]
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.

additional effect if used more than once. [Urza's Legacy FAQ 1999/02/03]

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]
