If I have only Travelling Merchant in hand and play it, do I draw a card?

Ruling: No, you do not draw a card. Playing Travelling Merchant does not count as moving it, so its ability does not trigger.

Nuances:

• The ability only triggers when Travelling Merchant moves, not when it is played
• If you do move Travelling Merchant while having no cards in hand, you would skip the discard and draw 1 card
• Effects worded as "discard, then draw" resolve each part independently, so failing to discard doesn't prevent the draw
