If you use Charm on your turn to move an opponent's unit to an empty battlefield, does the opponent score a point?

Ruling: Yes, the opponent can score a point. When a unit moves to a battlefield not already controlled by that player, a showdown occurs, and if they win the showdown and are able to score on that battlefield, they will score a point.

Sequence:

  • Unit is moved to a battlefield not controlled by that player
  • A showdown occurs (non-combat if the battlefield was empty)
  • If the unit wins the showdown and is still there after, they score

Nuances:

  • This works even during the opponent's turn (when Charm is used)
  • Each battlefield can only be scored once per turn, but typically a battlefield won't have been scored yet during an opponent's turn
  • The battlefield must not already be controlled by the player whose unit is being moved
