If a clansman with a dupe is selected and the dupe then discarded, will that satisfy the requirements to trigger Tyrion'so ability? — Statusunquo 1
No, you can't save from paying costs — scantrell24 3398
What if I raise the claim on my revealed plot card and then reveal a new plot with Rains of Castamere? Do I keep the claim raise? — Diomedes 3359
@Diomedes Yes, the claim raise still applies to the new plot. Source: http://www.cardgamedb.com/forums/index.php?%2Ftopic%2F33992-calm-over-westeros-rains-of-castamere%2F%3Fp=298061 — scantrell24 3398

I really, really love this Tyrion. Tri-Cons are powerful on their own. Add in his ability and you are pretty dominant. However, there is a great danger with removing your own characters from the board. The Jon Snow (WoTN) ability is great, but there are situations where if you remove too many, you’re in trouble. Or, you may never get to do so because you cannot afford to reduce the board state any further. Plus, I rank Tyrion (Core) as my 3rd best character in the entire game. It’s really hard competing against him where Core Tyrion is outstanding in any deck, and Lions Tyrion is only good in clans decks.
