What is the difference between Iascylla's and Azir, Sovereign's uses of "this battlefield"?
Iascylla's delayed trigger refers to the battlefield she held — information implicit in her trigger condition, checked when the ability triggers. Azir, Sovereign's attack trigger doesn't reference information from its trigger condition, so "this battlefield" is checked when the ability resolves: if he isn't at a battlefield then, instructions about that battlefield are ignored. Future sets use more precise templating for abilities like Iascylla's.
