Answer

Ruling: Rek'Sai grants Accelerate to any friendly unit played from anywhere other than your hand, including the champion zone, banishment, and hidden zones.

Nuances:

  • Works with chosen champions from the champion zone
  • Works with cards played from banishment (like Aurora's flip or Nocturne)
  • Works with hidden units
  • Works with blink spells, token generation, and resurrection effects
  • Can be used in non-red decks in 2v2 or with effects that play units from non-hand zones
  • The champion zone is explicitly not part of the hand, which is why hide/hidden needed clarification in v1.1 to specify it could hide from champion zone

Does this answer look correct?
