If a unit targeted by Hidden Blade gets removed from the battlefield (to base or hand) before resolution, does the owner still draw 2 cards?

Answer
Ruling: If the targeted unit is removed from the battlefield before Hidden Blade resolves, the owner does not draw 2 cards.
Sequence:
- Hidden Blade targets a unit at a battlefield
- If the unit moves to base or hand before resolution, it is no longer at a battlefield
- Hidden Blade cannot find the target and cannot kill it
- The controller does not draw because the effect references "the unit at a battlefield" as the full target
Nuances:
- An illegal target counts as null - if the unit isn't at a battlefield on resolution, there is no valid target
- This applies whether the unit moved to base or to hand
