Priest on the Docks

Rules FAQ

  • You cannot choose an attachment on Priest of the Docks itself, because it will be gone by the time you get to the step of choosing targets. However, such an attachment is still a valid target for the purposes of checking play restrictions, so you can still initiate the ability just to kill Priest on the Docks. But you will have to choose another valid target if there is one available.

  • If Priest on the Docks comes into play during another reaction to winning dominance (for instance, Drowned God's Apostle), you can immediately trigger it in the same reaction window. If Tarle the Thrice-Drowned (FUtG) is in play and you bring Priest of the Docks back into play, you can also trigger its reaction again (if it is still in play once Tarle's ability fully resolves).

Fiery Talons

Rules FAQ

  • The character being placed in shadows if its STR is 0 is a terminal condition that works the same way as terminal burn (see Terminal Condition). You cannot attempt to save the character unless the save attempt also remedies the terminal condition (for instance, brings the character's STR above 0). (See Save.)

  • The character does not gain the shadow keyword. Unless that character has the printed shadow keyword, it will need some other way to come out of shadows again (for instance, Starfall Spy).

Dragonstone Proselyte

Rules FAQ

  • You can choose a character that is already standing. If that character is knelt at any point before the end of the round, it cannot stand again.

  • Cannot stand applies to all ways in which a character could stand, including costs (like Ser Barristan Selmy (TS)). It also prevents the character from standing during the standing phase.

  • The lasting effect persists even if Dragonstone Proselyte leaves play.

Rules FAQ

  • Up to 3 includes 0. You do not have to choose any cards if you do not want to.

  • You do not reveal the cards you are placing under your agenda.

  • If you cannot draw as many cards as you placed under your agenda (for instance, due to The High Sparrow), you draw as many as you can. You are still allowed to place the cards under your agenda even if you can foresee that you will not be able to draw as many. However, if you can draw the cards, it is mandatory to do so, you cannot decline.

  • Cards are placed in the same area as the cards from The Conclave or Armed to the Teeth agendas. Those agendas can interact with the cards to the extent their text allows. For example, if you use the plot to place an attachment under your agenda, Armed to the Teeth can put that attachment into play the same way it can any of the attachments that have been there from setup.

  • Archmaester Marwyn can always interact with the cards you place under your agenda, whether you are playing one of the agendas mentioned above or not. If nothing else in your deck interacts with cards under your agenda, they are essentially removed from the game.

  • You cannot resolve the ability if you are playing without an agenda. The plot would simply do nothing.

Rules FAQ

  • The choices are made in player order, starting with the first player. Every player makes their choice (or declines to choose anything) with the knowledge of what the players before them have chosen. After all the choices have been made, all the chosen characters are then knelt simultaneously. (See Priority of Simultaneous Resolution.)

  • You cannot choose a character that is already kneeling, or a character that cannot be knelt by card effects (for instance, Ygritte).

  • If 2 or more characters are tied for the highest STR, none of them get the power.

  • If the character with the highest STR cannot gain power (for instance, due to Karhold), nothing else happens.

  • If only 1 character is knelt, it will have the highest STR by default, even if its STR is 0.

  • The STR comparison is made during the post-then part of the effect. If any of the chosen characters now have a different STR than before they were knelt, their current STR is taken into account.
