Answer

Ruling: No, hidden cards cannot target creatures on the other battlefield. Hidden cards must target on the battlefield where they were hidden.

Nuances:

  • Hiding a card gives it the "Here" restriction
  • This applies even if the card text doesn't explicitly specify "this battlefield"
  • The intent is to be even stricter, and Hidden will be reworded in the next rules document to clarify this

Does this answer look correct?
