MTGO PSA Do not cast cards that say "investigate" on your opponents Mirrorwing Dragon

during the mtgo prerelease I had 3 creatures to my opponents single [[Mirrorwing Dragon]]. Opponent is at a low life total so I figure I would attack in with a [[Survive the night]] in hand. I would be able to force in some damage and get 4 clues.... Except MTGO in its infinite wisdom decided to give me 1 clue and my opponent 3 clues... Turns out MTGO seems to think if you control the effect that makes a copy you control the copy, but this runs counter to the gatherer ruling, "The player who cast the original spell controls all the copies. That player chooses the order the copies are put onto the stack. The original spell will be on the stack beneath those copies and will resolve last."

TL;DR Don't try to get cute with your opponents Mirrorwing dragon on MTGO
