Battlefield Only vs. Other Keywords

Ok, so the keywords in italics, Quest/Kingdom/Battlefield tell you where you can initially play the card, correct?

This seems kind of restricting as the chaos deck has 12 out 22 units that you are told where you have to play them. Doesn't give much room for free thought in unit placement.

The other thing is, why is there a "Battlefield Only" command, when anything with italics "Battlefield" means basically the same thing?

It's not the same thing. The "Battlefield only" is what you are referring to correctly. The Quest, Kingdom, Battlefield words mean that the cards Action or Effects only occur if it is in that zone, but it can be played anywhere. You just won't get the bonus effects unless they are in the appropriate zone.

Just to be clear: Actions are one of four Card Effects.
