Answer

Ruling: A showdown is initiated when one of your units moves to a battlefield you do not control. If there is an opponent present, it's a combat showdown; otherwise, it's an open showdown.

Sequence:

  • Your unit moves to a battlefield you do not control
  • Showdown is initiated
  • If opponent units are present: combat showdown
  • If no opponent units are present: open showdown

Nuances:

  • Moving to an empty field (that you don't control) does trigger a showdown, specifically an open showdown
