Answer

Ruling: No, you cannot summon units to join an attack at a battlefield you don't control.

Sequence:

  • Moving a unit to a battlefield creates a showdown
  • During a showdown, base speed cards (including most units) cannot be played
  • Reaction speed units exist but require you to control the location where you're playing them
  • As the attacker, you do not control the battlefield

Nuances:

  • This restriction applies even to reaction speed units like Shen, because you must control the battlefield to play units there
  • If you control a battlefield and charm an enemy unit there to start a showdown, your opponent cannot play reaction units like Shen because they don't control that battlefield

Does this answer look correct?
