Answer

Ruling: No. When you play a hidden card, if it targets, those targets must be chosen from among options at the battlefield where the card is hidden, unless the ability explicitly restricts targeting in a way that makes this impossible.

Nuances:

  • This targeting restriction applies to all hidden cards, not just Hidden Blade
  • Even though Hidden Blade's text says "target a unit at a battlefield" (not "THIS battlefield"), the Hidden mechanic adds the extra targeting restriction
  • Some cards like Tideturner have errata that explicitly override this restriction

Does this answer look correct?
