Does Stormbringer move a unit to the battlefield in its original state (active/exhausted) or does it change the unit's state?

Ruling: The unit maintains whatever state it was in before being moved. Card effects that cause units to move do not exhaust the unit.

Nuances:

  • Only performing a Standard Move will exhaust a unit
  • If the unit was active before being moved by Stormbringer, it remains active
  • If the unit was exhausted before being moved by Stormbringer, it remains exhausted
