wotc12 Nov 2019
If a card with a ransom ability loses that ability, it has no ransom cost. No player may pay its ransom cost.
wotc12 Nov 2019
Paying a ransom cost to end an effect is a special action. The card’s owner may pay that cost any time they have priority, and players can’t take actions in between the time the player announces their intent to pay and the time the card returns to the zone from which it came.

Pay no attention to any other card in this set using the word “ransom” when determining how Squidnapper’s ransom ability works.
wotc12 Nov 2019
If Squidnapper leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, you won’t gain control of the target creature at all.
