I don't know who downrated Chrisawr, he's right:

Activate the Minion's ability the first time and choose the card that is to be donated.
Now you activate it a second time and target an opponent's creature.
If nobody wants to respond anymore, the stack gets emptied:
You exchange control with the Minion and your opponent's crea.
Then the other exchange resolves, which gives you back the Infiltrator and leaves your opponent with the donated card.

Therefore it's effectively like Donate restricted to creatures with Control Magic included for 4BlueBlueBlueBlue each.
With Avarice Totem you can do this with any permanent for 10.

Wait, so a source's ability will follow the source to new owners while it's on the stack, if control of the source is changed before resolution?

Opponent: Myr Incubator. I put out 20 artifacts and pay 20 for Sludge Strider. You lose 20 life. I win.

You: I Infiltrator your Strider. I win.

I know that you pay the 1 mana on resolution and that this wouldn't work, and even if it did it's a ridiculously unlikely scenario :P. Someone help me out. Show me at situation that might be at least plausible.

Why are they so completely unaware that their dude is gone?

I'd run this with Helm of Possession. Trade for their creature, then sac newly acquired creature with Helm to get the Infiltrator back.

I don't think that this is "Yawgmoth's Will" incarnate, that distinction probably goes to Sheoldred.

The fun part comes when you activate the ability twice, once in response to the other. It allows you to swap any of your creatures for any of their creatures, while still keeping the Infiltrator under your control, so you can keep doing that each turn.
