When a unit fails to conquer Vilemaw's Lair and is recalled to base, does the battlefield's 'Units can't move from here to base' restriction prevent the recall?
Ruling: Units that fail to conquer Vilemaw's Lair are recalled to base, not moved. Since "recalled" and "move" are different game terms, Vilemaw's Lair's restriction does not prevent the recall.
Nuances:
- Units cannot use move effects (like Charm, Ride the Wind, or Tideturner) to move from Vilemaw's Lair to base
- Units CAN move from Vilemaw's Lair to another battlefield using move effects like Charm or Ganking
- Tideturner specifically uses the word "move" so it cannot move units from Vilemaw's Lair to base, only to other battlefields
