Sower of Temptation vs. Norn

[ecky]

Hey guys, had this issue come up yesterday in a game. I controlled an {Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite} and a {Meddling Mage} naming an irrelevant card. My opponent then played {Sower of Temptation}, gaining control of my Elesh Norn.
We had to ask a few local rules aficionados for advice on how it would play out, and it was still a little unclear in the end.
We played it as:
Sower entered, ability on stack;
State was checked, Sower put in graveyard from -2/-2;
Sower ability resolved, Elesh Norn changed control killing my Meddling Mage;
State was checked, Sower not present so Norn returned to me.

Was this played correct? Or should my Mage have survived, or like Fiend Hunter shenanigans should my Norn have been permanently taken?
Cheers

If Sower of Temptation leaves the battlefield before the ability resolves, it has no effect.

Well if state was checked and the fairy died before its ability ever resolved, then it should have never left your possession. Static vs triggered ability. When the fair entered the battlefield, it dies instantly because of the static ability set by elesh norn. I'm 75% sure.

Right from the card rulings.

Oh wow, yet another reason I need to get the rulings section of this app.
Good news is it didn't change the outcome of the game, but thanks guys!
