In 2v2 Team Format, can an opponent use Charm or Dragon's Rage to move my unit to my teammate's battlefield, and what happens if they try?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes. An opponent may target and move your unit with a spell like Charm (or another effect that says “move an enemy unit”) and can move it to your teammate’s battlefield, provided the movement is otherwise legal. The moved unit remains controlled by you — control is not shared between teammates — and normal consequences (triggers, scoring, etc.) follow from the unit being on that battlefield.

An opponent may play Charm to move your unit onto your teammate’s battlefield. The unit stays under your control (control is not shared) and all resulting game steps resolve normally. Teammates cannot issue Standard Movement to each other’s units, but that restriction does not stop opponents from moving enemy units onto a teammate’s battlefield.

Opponent is invited (or otherwise has Priority) and plays Charm ("Move an enemy unit"). [484.8.a] They target your unit as an enemy unit and pay the costs to play the spell. The spell resolves and moves the targeted unit to the chosen battlefield (assuming the move is otherwise legal per the spell/card). After resolution, the unit is located on your teammate’s battlefield but remains controlled by you; control is not shared between teammates. [484.8.c] [484.8.d] Your teammate may not issue Standard Movement to that unit (they cannot command your unit), because players may not issue Standard Movement to their Teammate's Units. [484.8.c.2] If that battlefield was controlled by your teammate during its Beginning Phase, that battlefield may be disqualified from being scored by that team that turn; moving a unit there does not override the disqualification rule. [484.8.b]

If the movement would create an illegal state due to other card-specific rules or targeting restrictions (not present in the provided context), the movement could be illegal; the provided core text does not include such restrictions, so this ruling assumes none apply. If an ability or effect on resolution depends on who controls the battlefield or unit (triggers that read "friendly" or similar), remember "friendly" can refer to either a player’s own objects or their teammate's objects as defined. [484.8.d] If moving the unit would enable coordinated scoring behavior between teammates (e.g., causing a teammate to Conquer a Battlefield their partner was controlling during the Beginning Phase), the 2v2 unique rule preventing that scoring still applies. [484.8.b]

The Charm card text provided reads "Move an enemy unit." There is nothing in the provided Core Rules text forbidding an opponent from moving an enemy unit onto a battlefield controlled by that enemy’s teammate. In 2v2, players may play spells or activate abilities during their Teammate’s turn when invited, so an opponent can cast Charm during relevant times given Priority. [484.8.a] Control between teammates is not shared, meaning a unit remains under its owner's control even if it is located on their teammate’s battlefield. [484.8.c] "Friendly" in card text can include a teammate's objects for targeting purposes, but that does not change ownership/control. [484.8.d] The unique 2v2 restriction that "Players may not issue Standard Movement to their Teammate's Units" prevents teammates from commanding each other’s units, but it does not prevent an opponent from moving an enemy unit onto a teammate’s battlefield. [484.8.c.2] One practical consequence to be aware of: Battlefields controlled by a teammate during the Beginning Phase are disqualified from being scored by that Team that turn; moving a unit onto such a battlefield does not override that disqualification. [484.8.b] Because Dragon's Rage text was not provided, this ruling assumes it operates as a movement effect like Charm; if Dragon's Rage has additional constraints, those could change the answer. If there are other card-specific targeting restrictions or movement legality rules not included in the provided context, they could also affect whether the move is allowed.
