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
