Answer

Ruling: When a card is played as hidden, it automatically gains "here" as a targeting restriction, limiting its valid targets to only the battlefield where it is hidden.

Sequence:

  1. Card is played hidden on a battlefield
  2. Card automatically gains "here" restriction
  3. When revealed/activated, it can only target units/entities on that same battlefield

Nuances:

  • Hidden Zhonya moves to base after being revealed because gear cannot be attached to a battlefield
  • Tideturner can target outside its location due to its "when play" trigger

Does this answer look correct?
