Does a Showdown still occur at a scored battlefield when a player moves a unit there after moving all their units out?

Ruling: Yes, a Showdown always happens if a unit applies contested to a battlefield.

Sequence:

  • Player holds battlefield and scores a point
  • Player moves all units out (no one controls it)
  • Player moves another unit in
  • Showdown occurs (though no point is scored again)

Nuances:

  • A Showdown is triggered whenever a unit moves to a battlefield they don't currently control, regardless of whether the battlefield has already been scored
