Temporary control would feel weird on a Dragon. "Oh, I bothered carrying you all the way to my lair just so we could have some afternoon tea." Keeping the permanent for as long as the Dragon remains on the battlefield makes more sense. I don't get why the creature theft is limited to Humans, I would sooner they imposed a cost or size limit.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
There a reason you have to be such a downer about it?
Whatever the dragon steals, you can sac to a card like Witch's Oven. I mean, saccing Humans to make Food is gross, and I probably wouldn't have limited the creature theft to Humans, but it shows that you can find a use for the Dragon's loot or captive. You can also tap the artifact or Human to, say, Improvise, Convoke, or activate cards like Springleaf Drum. Also consider that Conjurer's Closet can flicker the artifact or Human creature, returning it to the battlefield under your control, now fully functional. Add a Strionic Resonator to copy the Closet's triggered ability and target the Dragon, and use a Panharmonicon to copy the Dragon's ETB effect.

First we get a Dragon that creates Treasure, now we have a Dragon that steals artifacts and Humans (be they princesses or otherwise). Love the classic Dragon tropes at work.
