Movement
Commonly asked questions about moving permanents between locations
Does a unit move when it enters the board?
No.
Playing or creating a unit at a battlefield therefore does not fulfill an ability that triggers when the unit moves there. Replacing where a unit enters the board also does not turn that entry into a move.
Can I choose a unit's current location as its move destination?
No.
When an effect requires a player to choose a move destination for a unit, that destination must differ from the unit's current location.[355.4][355.4.a] If the card specifies the destination instead, the player makes no destination choice and this restriction does not affect whether the unit is a legal target. If the unit is already at that specified destination when the instruction resolves, the move is impossible and is ignored.[055]
