Normally, units occupy only one location while in the realm. However, some oversized units occupy multiple locations simultaneously due to their size, e.g. . To represent the minion’s locations, place the card at the intersection of the sites.
When you cast such a minion, declare the area it will occupy when summoned, which must include at least one of your sites, per normal minion casting rules. It may include some of your opponent’s sites, but couldn’t include the void (without Voidwalk) nor (unless its power was low enough).
A card's size is determined as it enters the realm (or via other effects, e.g. or ) and becomes one of its characteristics. Therefore, even if a were disabled or in a aura, it would continue to occupy a 2x2 area.
Oversized units occupy each of their locations. Therefore, if grid damage is dealt to multiple such locations, oversized units take damage at each of those locations. For example, a centered on a Mountain Giant would deal 7 + 5 + 5 + 3 = 20 damage to it.
An oversized unit could simultaneously occupy both land and water sites, as well as void squares if it had voidwalk. It cannot occupy the surface and subsurface simultaneously, unless it has specific text allowing it, e.g. .
When an oversized unit moves, you choose a direction and all parts of it move that direction. If any part of it cannot move in the chosen direction, then it cannot move in that direction at all. All parts of this movement are considered its movement path.
When moving, an oversized unit only "enters" locations it did not occupy before taking each step.
When attacking, oversized units must target a single enemy unit or site surface that shares a location with it.
| M1 | M2 | ||
| M3 | M4 | ||
When determining if a card is near or adjacent to an oversized unit, you check to see if it is near or adjacent to any location the oversized unit occupies. For instance, the following locations marked "a" are adjacent to the Mountain Giant, marked "M":
| a | a | ||
| a | M | M | a |
| a | M | M | a |
| a | a |
As a further example, the locations marked "n" are nearby an oversized avatar, marked "A," that has been stretched into an L-shape by :
| n | n | n | |
| n | A | n | n |
| n | A | A | n |
| n | n | n | n |
In the above diagrams, the locations occupied by the oversized unit are also nearby/adjacent to the unit.
