Red Priest

House Baratheon. Non-Loyal.
Character. Cost: 3. STR: 2.

R'hllor.

Reaction: After Red Priest enters play, look at an opponent's hand. Then, choose 1 card in that hand and remove it from the game until the end of the round or until Red Priest leaves play.

The red priest lit their fires every day at sunset, to thank R'hllor for the day just ending, and beg him to send his sun back on the morrow to banish the gathering darkness.

Rules FAQ

  • The card returns to the hand from which it was removed. This happens when Red Priest leaves play or when the round ends, whichever happens first (it is not a choice made by the player when Red Priest initially triggers).

  • Reserve is checked in the taxation phase before the round ends, so the card removed by Red Priest would return after that.

  • When the card returns to hand, it is not considered to have been drawn.

  • Triggering the reaction on Red Priest is optional, but once you trigger it, you must also choose a card to remove even if you would prefer not to.

  • There is no cancel window before the post-then aspect of the effect. If you have not canceled the entire effect, you cannot cancel just the part that removes the card. In a Melee game, the reaction can only be canceled before the players know which opponent is chosen.
