Answer

Ruling: You are not considered attacking when moving to an uncontrolled battlefield. When a unit is pushed into a battlefield via Ride the Wind (or similar effects), the unit being pushed in is not the attacker; the player who originally applied contested status to the battlefield is the attacker.

Nuances:

  • Wielder of Water would not get their +4 bonus when moving to an empty battlefield since no attack is occurring
  • The attacker status is determined by who initiated the contested battlefield, not by who physically moved units there

Does this answer look correct?
