When you move a unit through an effect, would it be exhausted or ready?

When a unit is moved by a card effect, its state (Ready or Exhausted) does not change unless the card explicitly states otherwise.

According to the FAQ in the game rules:

  • "When a card effect explicitly says to 'move' a unit, a readied unit stays readied unless the card specifies otherwise."
  • Card effects that move units work regardless of the unit's current exhaust state.
  • This is distinct from the "Standard Move" action, which is an inherent ability that requires exhausting the unit as a cost.

In summary, if an effect simply says to "move" a unit, the unit maintains its current state. It only becomes exhausted if the card text specifically includes an instruction to exhaust it.
