When Kayn is moved to a contested battlefield by Ride the Wind (arriving readied), fights but cannot conquer, and is pushed back to base, does he remain readied so he can move back to a battlefield?
Ruling: Yes, Kayn remains readied and can move back to a battlefield.
Sequence:
- Kayn moves to empty battlefield and conquers
- Ride the Wind moves Kayn to contested battlefield (he arrives readied)
- Kayn fights but cannot conquer and is pushed back to base
- Kayn is still readied and can move again
Nuances:
- Move effects (like Ride the Wind) don't exhaust units
- Recall (being pushed back to base) doesn't exhaust units
- Only the standard move action exhausts units
