Stretch my avatar? You're pulling my leg! Does this make my avatar an oversized unit now?
Pulling both arms and both legs actually but, yes! Your avatar will now be an oversized unit!
If Magellan Globe leaves play when a card is spanning the edge of the realm, what happens?
Units cannot balance on the edge of the realm and an oversized unit that finds its way there falls to one side or the other. Its controller places it in the closest legal position, controller's choice if tied.
If there's no legal position anywhere in the realm for a minion, it dies. If there's no legal position anywhere in the realm for an avatar, shrink it until there is a legal position (Avatar controller's choice), and place it there.
When an avatar is stretched by this effect, does it count as entering the new location?
Yes! The avatar has to be able to enter the location for the effect to work, and then it will trigger any effects caused by entering. It does not count as moving, however.
What happens if an oversized avatar is occupying a site, and then some effect moves that site?
When a site moves, only things of "normal" size move with it. As the avatar is now oversized, it will not be moved.
In most cases when a site moves, another site will be left in its place (e.g. Rift Valley). In these situations, the avatar will end up occupying the surface of the new site. In the case of Cloud City, which leaves a void location behind, the avatar will now be occupying that void square. See ((mandatory actions)) for what happens if your avatar is in the void.
Note that in both cases the avatar does not "enter" the new location that it is occupying.
