Rules FAQ

  • If multiple replacement effects are initiated against the same triggering condition, the most recent replacement effect is the one that is used for the resolution of the triggering condition. Ex: Your opponent triggers Missandei to put her into play instead, then you trigger Ser Meryn Trant to remove her from the game instead.

Does playing an event count as discarding a card from hand for the purposes of this effect? If so, when does the card count as being discarded - eg if meryn is put to the sword.
