Ser Harry Strickland

Rules FAQ

  • Harry can choose himself to gain a challenge icon. He can also stand himself if he is knelt beforehand (Last Hearth Scouts).

  • You can use Harry to stand a character that cannot gain a challenge icon (The Dornish Wars), or to give a challenge icon to a character that cannot stand (for instance, due to Delena Florent).

  • If Storm's End (BtB) is in play, you cannot stand a character without a icon during the challenges phase, even if Harry gives it a icon. The two effects are simultaneous, so the character does not gain the icon in time to be able to stand.

Above the Rest

Rules FAQ

  • You cannot play the event if a character gains 2 or more power from a single ability (for instance, Lady Sansa's Rose).

  • You cannot play the event just to stand a character. It has to successfully gain power first.

Tytos Blackwood

Rules FAQ

  • Participating stars immediately after the challenge is initiated. It does not affect stealth or any other abilities that apply while the challenge is being initiated (for instance, a character not kneeling when declared as an attacker).

  • Without power means characters without any power tokens on them. It does not mean characters without a icon.

  • Non-participating characters are affected by Tytos's ability as well.

  • If a participating character is immune to character abilities (Dragonglass Dagger, Victarion Greyjoy (ATT)), its text box will not be blanked by Tytos.

  • If two constant abilities cannot apply at the same time, the first player decides which one prevails. An example of this would be Tytos and Septa Unella blanking each other's text box at the same time. (See Priority of Simultaneous Resolution.)

Conspirator's Blade

Rules FAQ

  • Abilities on event cards like Saving the Kingdom or Beneath the Petals that work while the event is not in your hand can still be canceled, because triggering those abilities is not considered to be playing the event. (See Playing Events.)

  • If you put a card directly into play from shadows without paying its shadow cost (for instance, Forest Patrol), you will waste the reduction provided by Conspirator's Blade for the next card.

Dirk

Rules FAQ

  • The ability affects all players, including the controller of Dirk.

  • If an ability discards multiple characters at the same time (for instance, Varys (Core)), the forced reaction triggers for all of them.

  • Other reactions to a character being discarded or placed in the discard pile can no longer interact with that character after it is placed in the dead pile. This includes cards like Citadel Archivist, Ser Addam Marbrand or Saved by the Watch, among others. On the other hand, reactions to a character entering the dead pile (like Warlock of Qarth or Maester Cressen (WK)) can be triggered after Dirk resolves.

  • A character that is sacrificed is not discarded from play. Those are two separate effects.

  • If a character is saved from being discarded, Dirk's reaction does not trigger, nor does it interact with duplicates being discarded in any way.
