A: Yes, for the reason you gave. Brook Cunningham, "Times of Strife & movement to the battlefield", 4 Oct 2011 - Q: Question: If a player has no units at battlefield and moves a unit to the battle field while Times of Strife is in play, does he discard a card?
What I think the answer is: My thinking is yes, because when the player announces the action he has no units at the battle field.
