Rules FAQ

• You can trigger Aegon even when a non-loyal character enters play under an opponent's control.

• If the character that enters play is immediately removed from play (for instance, by Ser Jaime Lannister (BtB)), the triggering condition for Aegon still happened, so you can still stand him.

• If Aegon enters play during the challenges phase and is knelt by Last Hearth Scouts, he can react to himself entering play and stand himself again.

• If you play In Daznak's Pit, the "limit twice per phase" count starts again for the new challenges phase.

Rules FAQ

• If you lose control of attached location, Bran the Breaker will become illegally attached and will get discarded. That also happens if Bran the Breaker's text box is blanked at any point (for instance, by Brother's Robes), because it will lose the play permission of being allowed to be attached to a location rather than a character. On the other hand, assaulting (or otherwise blanking) attached location will not cause Bran the Breaker to become illegally attached.

• Controlling 2 unique attacking characters only matters at the point when you trigger the ability. The claim value will then be raised until the end of the challenge even if those characters are removed from the challenge or leave play, and even if Bran the Breaker itself is blanked or leaves play.

• If you reveal a new plot during the challenge in which you triggered Bran the Breaker (for instance, with "The Rains of Castamere"), your claim value will remain raised. (See References to Specific Positions in Game Areas.)

Rules FAQ

• Roose Bolton kills your own participating loyal characters as well, but triggering his ability is entirely optional.

• If Roose comes out of shadows after the winner of the challenge is determined (for instance, with Starfall Spy), killing each defending character will not retroactively make the challenge unopposed, and killing each attacking character will not retroactively prevent the attacking player from winning the challenge. But killing all participating characters could still be relevant for abilities like Chivalry of the South.

• In a Melee game, you can trigger Roose during a challenge in which you are neither the attacking nor the defending player.

Rules FAQ

• The reaction can be triggered only after all When Revealed abilities have resolved.

• You can trigger Weirwood Grove even when an opponent reveals a new plot outside of the plot phase (for instance, with "The Rains of Castamere").

• You are considered to be the controller of the plot while you initiate its When Revealed ability, so the immunity granted by cards like Septa Mordane or Maester Luwin will not work for you, but it will work for your opponents.

• If an opponent has Outwit revealed, they can use it to cancel the When Revealed ability you are trying to initiate with Weirwood Grove (assuming they also have a Maester and their faction card is still standing). Other cards that can potentially cancel the When Revealed ability include Fear Cuts Deeper Than Swords, Lord Protector's Retainer, Rickon Stark and Someone Always Tells. For Someone Always Tells, the phrase "opponent's event or triggered plot ability" will always apply to the player triggering Weirwood Grove, not to the owner of the plot Weirwood Grove is trying to trigger.

• If an Omen plot card is revealed, Gared can kneel the faction card before Weirwood Grove could be used.

• You can initiate the When Revealed ability of Varys's Riddle to initiate the When Revealed ability of your own plot again.

• At Prince Doran's Behest will be gone by the time you could initiate its When Revealed ability (unless a player reveals it as their final plot).

• If you initiate the When Revealed ability of Power Behind the Throne, you must put a stand token on Power Behind the Throne rather than on your own plot. The controller of that plot can then use that stand token to stand a character.

• Pulling the Strings will let you initiate the When Revealed ability of a plot in an opponent's used pile, not in yours.

• Initiating the When Revealed ability of Summer Harvest will let you define the value of X on Summer Harvest as 2, in the same way Varys's Riddle does. If the value of X has already been defined as a different number, the first player decides which value of X is used.

• If you initiate the When Revealed ability of a City plot (for instance, A City Besieged), it will check for the number of City plots in your used pile, not in the used pile of the plot's owner.

• If you initiate the When Revealed ability of The Last Greenseer again, you just switch the base values back to the way they were before The Last Greenseer first triggered.

Rules FAQ

• You can trigger the reaction when Desperate Deserter itself comes out of shadows. You can also trigger it when you play an event from shadows.

• If A Traitor's Whisper puts Desperate Deserter and another card into play, you can trigger Desperate Deserter, but the opponent can also trigger it in the same reaction window and immediately give it back to you.

• The -1 gold on Desperate Deserter is taken into account when calculating whether you gain 1 or 2 gold for Underground Vault.
