    Hysterical Blindness's effect will continue to apply to a creature even if you (or a teammate) gains control of that creature later in the turn.

  • WotCSep 22, 2011

    Only creatures controlled by your opponent when Hysterical Blindness resolves will get -4/-0. Creatures that enter or that an opponent gains control of later in the turn will be unaffected.
