Can you play the effect of a hidden card targeting the other battlefield?
Ruling: No, hidden cards cannot target units or make choices at a different battlefield than where they were hidden. All choices must be made at the battlefield where the card was hidden, if able.
Nuances:
- Some cards like Tideturner can get around this restriction because they specify "another" battlefield in their text
- Some cards like Stand United still have effects beyond their targets that can apply elsewhere
- Hidden cards can still be played from one battlefield to react to events at another battlefield, as long as the card doesn't require targeting (you can play a hidden card from battlefield 1 during a showdown at battlefield 2 if it doesn't need to target)
- Hidden cards cannot be played the same turn they are hidden
- The restriction on hidden cards only applies to their targeting, not to when they can be played as reactions
