Answer

Ruling: Hidden cards are placed at a battlefield (only one per battlefield). You pay any color power to hide a card, then pay 0 to play it at that battlefield for its hidden cost. You cannot activate a card the same turn you hide it.

Sequence:

  • Pay any color power to hide a card at a battlefield
  • Pay 0 to play the hidden card at that battlefield (on a later turn)
  • The card activates with its hidden cost

Nuances:

  • Hidden cards can only be placed at battlefields, not at base
  • Only one hidden card allowed per battlefield
  • Hidden cards cannot be activated the turn they are hidden
  • All effects of hidden cards only affect the battlefield where they are hidden
  • Hidden cards can only target units at the same battlefield when played from hidden
