111.2. The player who creates atoken is its owner. The token enters the battlefield under that player’s control.
I can’t think of a single instance where a token gets created under another player’s control that doesn’t directly instruct that player to create the token.
Iirc years ago the owner and controller could be different. The controller would be the player under whose control it entered and the owner would be whoever controlled the effect that created the token. I don’t remember when they changed that but I do remember that being how it used to work.
Thanks for this! I assumed this would be the case, but you do get rule oddities in magic, especially in weird cases like this. I can’t think of an instance of that either, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was one somewhere.
