Re: The Book of Marro Gnids
The conversation that drove me here was that such a power would bring a leaving engagement attack but I agree with the point that they are not moving onto a space so it would not apply (although that particular line is parenthetical in the rulebook so it may be more of an example than a hard rule).
I nevertheless disagree that placing a figure on a card is any form of movement but I suppose that decision has been made. Imagine if VC were to design a character that can transform (a pretty iconic trope), where you would draft two army cards and swap between the two figures. Saying that such a power is a movement blocked by cyberclaw or any similar ability is obviously absurd.
Destroying the figure first is also a little weird and can lead to oddities but it aligns with how these sorts of powers were originally done. Drawing gnids off of a live figure with the Hive is a particularly limited case since you would be willingly giving up the debuff on that figure.
