If Hidden Blade targets a unit at one battlefield, but the unit moves to a different battlefield in response (via Tideturner), does Hidden Blade still kill the unit?

Answer
Ruling: Yes, Hidden Blade still kills the unit even if it moves to a different battlefield after being targeted. When targeting Hidden Blade, you only declare the unit (not the specific battlefield), as long as that unit is at a battlefield when targeted.
Sequence:
- Hidden Blade is played targeting unit A at battlefield 1
- In response, Tideturner moves unit A from battlefield 1 to battlefield 2
- Hidden Blade resolves and kills unit A at its new location (battlefield 2)
- Hidden Blade's controller draws 2 cards
Nuances:
- The targeting requirement "a unit at a battlefield" only requires declaring a unit that is currently at any battlefield, not a specific battlefield
- If the target becomes illegal upon resolution (e.g., the unit is no longer at any battlefield), Hidden Blade does not draw cards because the instruction references the target's controller
