Short answer: Yes. Every spell you cast or ability you activate goes on the stack. You control it until it resolves or gets countered.

Technically, you control the cards you put on the stack, but so does your opponent in a way. They can cast spells or use abilities in response, effectively controlling the flow of the stack too. It's all about timing and strategy.

Absolutely, when you play a spell or ability in MTG, it goes on the 'stack.' This is basically where it waits its turn to resolve. Players can respond to anything on the stack, by adding their own spells or abilities on top. So yes, you do control the cards in the stack, but so can your opponent by responding to your actions!
