Example: Smoke and Mirrors is a spell that reads in part “Choose a unit you control and another unit you control at a different location.” If Smoke and Mirrors is played from hidden, the first unit chosen can be chosen at the battlefield Smoke and Mirrors was played from, so it must be. The second unit chosen explicitly restricts targeting in a way that makes this impossible, so it can be chosen from any location. |
|
|
Example: Blastcone Fae is a unit with Hidden and “When you play me, give a unit -2 [M] this turn, to a minimum of 1 [M].” Because this is a play effect, its target must be chosen from among units at the same battlefield if Blastcone Fae was played from Hidden. |
|
|
Example: Tideturner is a unit with Hidden and “When you play me, you may choose a unit you control at another location. Move me to its location and it to my original location.” Because its play effect has a targeting restriction that can never be fulfilled by a unit at its battlefield, its target may be chosen freely from among the available options. |
|
| 811.1.d.3. |
If a hidden spell or a play effect of a hidden permanent causes you to play a unit, you must choose to play that unit at that battlefield. |
|
See rule 355.6. Targeting for more information. |
|
| 811.2. |
Abilities and instructions of hidden cards other than the choices listed above function as normal. |
|
Example: Stand United is a spell that has Hidden and says “Buff a friendly unit. Buffs give an additional +1 might to friendly units this turn.” If it’s played from Hidden, the first part of its ability must choose a friendly unit at the same battlefield, but the second part of its ability affects all friendly units with buffs, no matter where they are. |
