Does Yone's conquer ability trigger when using Void Assault to move him to a battlefield that becomes uncontrolled?
verified
Answer
Ruling: Yes, Yone's conquer ability triggers in both scenarios where Void Assault results in him conquering a battlefield that was uncontrolled.
Sequence:
Version 1 (Clearing an enemy-controlled battlefield):
- Void Assault moves Yone to an enemy-controlled battlefield (applying Contested status) and moves the last enemy unit out
- During cleanup, before the showdown opens, the opponent loses control per Rule 187.4.c because no combat/showdown is ongoing yet
- The battlefield becomes uncontrolled
- The non-combat showdown resolves and Yone establishes control, triggering his ability
Version 2 (Moving into an uncontrolled battlefield with a surprise defender):
- Void Assault moves Yone into an uncontrolled battlefield (applying Contested status), then pulls an enemy unit there
- A combat opens with Yone as attacker and the enemy as surprise defender
- The battlefield remains uncontrolled throughout the combat
- If Yone wins and establishes control, his ability triggers
Nuances:
- Simply moving units into a battlefield does not establish control
- The surprise defender does not make the battlefield controlled by their owner
