When Tideturner's effect is on the chain and Tideturner is bounced to hand by Gust before the effect resolves, does Tideturner's movement effect still work?

Answer

Ruling: Tideturner will stay in hand and the other friendly unit won't move either. Nothing will happen when the effect resolves.

Sequence:

  • Tideturner is played and its effect is added to the chain
  • Opponent responds with Gust, bouncing Tideturner to hand
  • Gust resolves
  • Tideturner's effect tries to resolve, but moves only occur between locations on the board
  • Tideturner's "original location" is now the hand (resolved during resolution)
  • Since hand is not a board location, neither Tideturner nor the other unit moves

Nuances:

  • Hand is referred to as a "location" (lowercase) in rules text, but is not a "Location" (capital L) on the board
  • Moves are only between locations on the board, not to/from hand
