Hi everyone,
Wondering about a ruling in commander games, if I use reins of power and before its effect wears off donate or use Zedruu the Greathearted to change send one of the creatures to another player, does that creature go back to the original owner when reigns' effect wears off or does the player who I "donated" the creature to retain control afterward?

The creature stays where the latest still active control change effect puts it (or with the default controller of no such effect exists anymore). Which in this case is the player you donated it to. That the other effect ended has no bearing on this, the latest effect says, that player controls it now, period.
