If you play Tideturner at the same location as Travelling Merchant and choose it as a target, does Travelling Merchant trigger to let you draw?

Ruling: No, Travelling Merchant does not trigger if Tideturner targets it at the same location, because no movement occurs.

Nuances:

  • Movement requires going from base to battleground, battleground to base, or battleground to battleground
  • If both cards are at the same location, no movement happens and the trigger condition is not met
