Moonfall

Action (Play on your turn or in showdowns.)

Choose a battlefield where you have units. You may move up to one enemy unit to that battlefield. Then give enemy units there -2 might this turn.

What happens when I play Moonfall choosing an enemy unit while I control an empowered Mel, Newly Awakened?

The chosen unit will be given -3 might . All other enemy units at the chosen battlefield will be given -2 might .

Mel, Newly Awakened’s empowered ability is a replacement effect. It replaces the event of a spell or ability you control giving a unit it chooses - might . The event it replaces that with is the spell or ability giving an additional -1 might .

Although Moonfall gives - might to multiple units, only one of them is chosen, and thus the only event that is eligible to be replaced is the chosen unit being given -2 might . It will be replaced with that unit being given -3 might . The events of the other units being given - might will not be affected by this replacement effect.

Relevant Rules: 370.1., 370.1.b.

Q: My opponent plays Moonfall targeting my unit and a battlefield where they have a Travelling Merchant on, and the Merchant is the only unit they control on that battlefield. If I Gust the Merchant in response to Moonfall, does my unit still move and receive -2 at the battlefield?

A: No, the unit won’t move and no -2M will be given.

“Where you have units” is a targeting requirement for the chosen battlefield. Upon resolving, if that requirement is not met, the spell will check information about an illegal target, so “that battlefield” and “there” will return null, and the related instructions will be ignored.

Relevant rules:

359.3.e.2. A target is illegal as the spell resolves if it no longer meets the targeting requirements of the spell, or if it has changed Zones to or from a Non-Board Zone.
359.3.e.6. Instructions that can't be followed, either because of illegal targets or other circumstances, are ignored.
359.3.e.12. If the spell checks information about a target that is no longer legal or a card or permanent whose location, zone, or status has changed such that that information is no longer available, that check returns "null" and all calculations based on it are ignored
