Can I play a unit from my hand directly to a battlefield, or do I have to play it on my board first and then move it next turn?

Ruling: You can play units directly to any battlefield you control. You control a battlefield if you already have some of your units on it. You also control your base.

Nuances:

• Playing a unit directly to a battlefield is NOT the same as moving a unit
• Moving refers to relocating units that are already on the board
• You must control a location (your base or a battlefield with your units) to play units there
