If both battlefields are empty and my opponent moves into battlefield A, can I play Ride the Wind to move one of my characters from base to battlefield B (instead of targeting the showdown battlefield)? What happens next?

Ruling: You can play Ride the Wind to move a character to a different battlefield than the showdown battlefield. The first showdown will resolve, then the second showdown will begin.

Sequence:

• Opponent moves to battlefield A, creating a showdown
• You play Ride the Wind and move a character to battlefield B
• First showdown resolves
• Second showdown begins

Nuances:

• Nothing in the rules requires you to target the showdown battlefield with Ride the Wind
