If P1 controls both battlefields and P2 charms a unit from BF1 to BF2, but P1 retreats their unit from BF2 in response (before charm resolves), does P1's arriving unit start a showdown to score when it arrives at BF2?
Ruling: Yes, a showdown will start and you'll gain a point if you re-establish control.
Sequence:
- P1 retreats their unit from BF2 in response to charm
- Cleanup establishes the battlefield as uncontrolled immediately after the retreat effect resolves
- When P1's unit arrives at BF2, a showdown starts
- P1 can score if they re-establish control
Nuances:
- P1 lost control of the battlefield when they retreated the unit, even though they controlled it at the start of the turn
- The battlefield becomes uncontrolled in the window between the retreat resolving and the arriving unit
