If you cast Ride the Wind during a showdown to move a unit to a battlefield where you already have units fighting, does the moved unit join the current combat or does it stage a second showdown?

Ruling: The unit joins the current combat. Nothing is staged when moving a unit to a battlefield where you already have units fighting.

Sequence:

• Ride the Wind is cast as an action during a showdown
• When Ride the Wind resolves, the unit moves to the other battlefield
• If you already had units at that battlefield, the moved unit simply joins the current combat
• If you didn't have units there, a combat will be staged at that battlefield and will begin when the current showdown closes

Nuances:

• The player who applied contested status to that battlefield will be the attacker (the player who moved there first)
• When moving to an unoccupied battlefield, a showdown or combat is staged depending on whether enemy units are present
