The player who controlled Ivory Gargoyle when it was put into a graveyard will skip their next draw step even if Ivory Gargoyle is returned to the battlefield under a different player’s control (because it’s owned by someone else) or isn’t returned to the battlefield at all (because it left the graveyard before the end of the turn, for example).

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.
