A player, 21 April 2010
In the searches of this forum, I have seen Isawa Tanaka discussed quit a bit as well as movement legallity. I play Unicorn (if you hadn't guessed) and I have a friend that plays Phoenix. If the Phoenix player has no units in the battlefield, may he use Tanaka's ability to move a unit other than Tanaka into the battlefield? I ask this at the risk of irratating the rules team because I would like a concise ruling for the purposes of clarification.
Thank you for your time and patience.

Zen's answer is here.
I don't think I can make it any more concise or clear.
