Can you target your teammate's unit with Flash in a 2v2 game, and if so, where does it go?

Ruling: Yes, you can target your teammate's unit with Flash. When a unit is instructed to move "to base" without further specification, it moves to its controller's base, not the spell caster's base.

Sequence:

  • Flash can target up to 2 friendly units (including teammate's units in 2v2)
  • Each targeted unit moves to its own controller's base
  • Your units go to your base, teammate's units go to their base

Nuances:

  • The templating "to base" is ambiguous but interpreted as "to their respective bases"
  • This triggers abilities like Traveling Merchant that care about moving to base
  • This is consistent with Portal Rescue being errata'd to prevent stealing teammate's units
  • The lack of errata on Flash (unlike The Syren and Unforgiven which specify "its base") suggests the current templating is intentional
