My opponent casts Soul Ransom on a creature i own. I choose to activate it's ability discarding two Obstinate Baloth to get back my creature. Do i get to put the Baloth's into play? Who owns the ability?
You control Soul Ransom's ability, as you are the one activating it. Thus, you won't get your Baloths.
Note that even if your opponent did control the ability, the discard is a cost, which is caused by the activation of the ability rather than the ability itself. In this case, you would still not get to put your Baloths onto the battlefield.
