Answer

Ruling: The 'When you play me' effect triggers when you play the unit from your hand onto the board. Moving a unit is not the same as playing it.

Sequence:

  • Play the unit from your hand
  • The permanent comes onto the board
  • The 'When you play me' effect triggers

Nuances:

  • Moving a unit to a different location does not count as playing it and will not trigger 'When you play me' effects

Does this answer look correct?
