Rulings
Played or moved to a path/battleground (Ares Games Rules FAQ, Version 1.0). The following ruling applies to card effects that refer to being "played or moved to" a path or battleground, such as the Rohan card text above.
Q. Some card effects refer to being "played or moved to" a path/battleground. Does this mean the effect occurs wherever the card is played, or only when it is played to a path/battleground?
A. Such effects apply only when the card is either played or moved to a path/battleground, and not when it is played anywhere else. Think of it as "played to or moved to". For example, the Mouth of Sauron card cannot be either played to or moved to a path if a Shadow battleground is active, but it can be played to either a battleground or the reserve.
The FAQ does not name Minas Tirith. Whether this ruling governs the Ghân-buri-Ghân text depends on Minas Tirith being a path or battleground in play.
