Does Miss Fortune give you a point when you play it to an open battlefield?
Ruling: Miss Fortune does not immediately give you a point when played to an open battlefield. You only score a point after conquering the battlefield through the showdown that is triggered.
Sequence:
- Play Miss Fortune or move a unit to an uncontested battlefield (this applies contested status)
- The play/move completes, and Miss Fortune's location is at the battlefield. This starts a showdown where the controlling player is the attacker with focus and priority
- If the player passes priority and the enemy does nothing, the resolution step occurs and the player conquers because attacking units remain but no defending units remain (scores 1 point)
- If the player passes priority and the enemy removes Miss Fortune with an action/reaction, the resolution step occurs and the player does not conquer because no attacking units remain (no point scored)
Nuances:
- You can play hidden units to open battlefields if you have Miss Fortune in play, but not as hiddens. Playing and hiding are two different actions; you can play but not hide at an open battlefield.
