Rules FAQ

  • The "base value" is the value of a quantity before any modifiers are applied. For most quantities, it is also the printed value.

  • The Last Greenseer only switches the base values. Any modifiers that are applied to the gold, claim or reserve values of the plots in question are not switched between them. For example, if The Last Greenseer switches the base values with The Maiden, the player who has The Last Greenseer revealed will gain 6 gold when collecting income, +/- any modifiers (like The Roseroad) affecting that value for that player. The player who has The Maiden revealed will gain 4 gold, +/- any modifiers.

  • Since The Last Greenseer does not require you to "choose" a revealed plot card, your opponents will not know which plot you intend to switch with until after the cancel window has passed.

  • Resolving When Revealed abilities is mandatory. You must choose another revealed plot card even if switching the base values with that plot card is detrimental to you (for instance, if your only choice is Reinforcements).

  • A plot card leaves play any time its controller reveals a new one. If one of the plots leaves play before the other (for instance, due to "The Rains of Castamere"), the one that remains in play will regain the base values it had before the switch occurred.

Here are some interactions that can happen with The Last Greenseer in a Joust game:

  • At Prince Doran's Behest: If The Last Greenseer is resolved first, the switch will expire as soon as the When Revealed ability of Behest is resolved (unless Behest was the last remaining plot for that player and it remains in play). If Behest is resolved first, The Last Greenseer will simply interact with the new plot and the base values of Behest become irrelevant.

  • Battle on the Green Fork: The Last Greenseer will have a base claim value of 0. Battle of the Green Fork will have a base claim value of 1, so triggering the plot three times can potentially raise the claim value to 4.

  • Forgotten Plans: The values are switched in the plot phase as normal. After that, blanking The Last Greenseer will not retroactively reverse the switch, so Forgotten Plans will do nothing.

  • Summer Harvest: If Summer Harvest is resolved first, it will define the X as 6. When the X is switched onto The Last Greenseer, it will remain 6, while the base gold value on Summer Harvest will be 4. On the other hand, if The Last Greenseer is resolved first, it will switch the undefined X onto itself, and the value of X is always equal to 0 unless specified otherwise by a card ability or granted player choice. When Summer Harvest is resolved afterwards, there is no longer any X for it to define, because it only looks for an X on the card itself. That means The Last Greenseer ends up with 0, while Summer Harvest ends up with 4.

  • The Last Greenseer: If both players reveal this plot, it will simply switch the same values twice, essentially changing nothing.

  • Varys's Riddle: Regardless of the order in which the When Revealed abilities are resolved, they will both end up with their original base values. The Last Greenseer switches its base values with Varys's Riddle, while Varys's Riddle switches the base values of The Last Greenseer with another revealed plot card, which can only be Varys's Riddle itself.
