Thrill of the Hunt
Up-to-date: This page has been reviewed against the current core rules document (version 1.3).
Can I use Thrill of the Hunt to score on my opponent's turn by banishing my sole unit at a controlled battlefield and replaying it there?
No.
When Thrill of the Hunt resolves, the replayed unit is added to the chain as a pending item (CR 354.2), with its play process held until the spell has fully resolved (CR 354.3). Once the spell finishes resolving, a cleanup runs — but the pending unit keeps the chain alive throughout it. Because the chain is not empty, the turn remains in a closed state, and cleanup step 4 — which would make the battlefield uncontrolled — only applies during an open state (CR 323.6). Control is never lost, so there is no opportunity to score a point. When all outstanding tasks are complete, the pending unit is finalized (CR 335.2) and replayed to the battlefield you still control.
