Rules FAQ

• You can attach multiple copies of Poisoned Locusts to the same character. Two copies would give it -4 STR, while three copies would give it -9 STR (or more, if there are other attachments attached to it).

• An attacking character becomes participating as soon as the challenge is initiated, before reactions to the challenge being initiated. For instance, Poisoned Locusts would affect the character's STR at the same time as The Lord of the Crossing, but before reactions like Margaery Tyrell (HoT).

Rules FAQ

• If White Graces is discarded from your hand as the cost of an ability, that cost is paid successfully even if you trigger the interrupt. The triggering condition of a card being discarded from your hand also still occurs and can be reacted to. For instance, you could trigger Reznak mo Reznak to gain 1 gold (but you cannot put White Graces into play since it is not in your discard pile).

• In order to bring a card into play as a duplicate, both the duplicate and the unique card that would be duplicated must be owned and controlled by the player attempting the duplication. (See Duplicates.)

• White Graces shares the interrupt window with Ser Meryn Trant. Since they are both replacement effects, whichever is triggered last will prevail. If both players pass, White Graces goes to the discard pile. (See Replacement Effects.)

Rules FAQ

• If the card enters play as a duplicate, that duplicate will be placed on the bottom of your deck at the end of the phase.

• If the card you put into play leaves and re-enters play, nothing will happen to it at the end of the phase, because the delayed effect on it already expired the first time it left play.

Rules FAQ

• Northern Patriarch is not killed by Valar Morghulis, does not need to be chosen for Valar Dohaeris to stay in play, is not discarded by The Doom of Valyria, can be saved while The Bloody Flux is revealed, and can have its STR increased or reduced while At the Palace of Sorrows is revealed. But all of that is only true if an opponent reveals those plots, not if you reveal them.

• If you reveal Varys's Riddle, the When Revealed ability you initiate with it is not considered to be an opponent's plot effect, so Northern Patriarch will not be protected from it. On the other hand, if an opponent reveals Varys’s Riddle and initiates the When Revealed ability on your revealed plot card, Northern Patriarch will be protected from it.

• Northern Patriarch is only immune to Omens while it is in play, so Ghosts of Harrenhal or The White Shadows can still put it into play from the dead pile.

• You can move power from your faction card, since that is a card you control in play.

• If the opponent moves power to cancel Northern Patriarch, the interrupt window for canceling the event is still open, so you can still play The Hand's Judgment or use Bran Stark (Core) to cancel the event.

• Max once per round (as opposed to "limit") counts towards all copies of Northern Patriarch, so you can only trigger this particular interrupt ability once, even if you have multiple copies of Northern Patriarch in play. (See Limits and Maxima. Note that a maximum does not usually appear on cards that remain in play through the resolution of their effect, but it works just the same.)

Rules FAQ

• You can trigger the reaction even if the card is already revealed (for instance, due to Wardens of the East), or if attached character is already standing.

• Even though Torch and Oil is a reaction to a card being drawn, you must make sure the opponent knows in advance that you might trigger it, because the card(s) you are reacting to must be identifiable at the point when you are triggering the reaction. If the cards were already added to hand in a way where they can no longer be tracked, it is impossible to verify that the correct card will be revealed.
