Therefore, the Gargoyle is considered to be put into play by the controller at the time it died, even though it gets put into play under the control of the Gargoyle's owner. [Aahz 1996/06/18] This matters only if someone steals the Gargoyle and has an effect which triggers when they bring a creature into play.
