Rules FAQ

• If you win a challenge as the attacking player while you control The Trident, the forced reaction on The Trident will trigger first. If The Blue Fork is also in play, you can sacrifice it and then immediately trigger it to put it back into play. But if The Blue Fork is not in play at the time, you have to sacrifice something else first before you can put The Blue Fork into play from your discard pile.

• You can trigger The Blue Fork even if you win a challenge as the defending player.

• If you already own and control a copy of The Blue Fork in play, you can still trigger it and put it into play as a duplicate. You can also trigger multiple copies of The Blue Fork in the same reaction window.

Rules FAQ

• The reaction of Little Bird is optional. You need to decide whether you wish to give yourself and another player the choice of drawing a card before you look at what that card is. If you do, drawing the card is then also optional for both players and may be declined.

Rules FAQ

• The value of X is a player choice and will not be altered by applying modifiers to the cost of the event. For instance, if you choose the value of X to be 5 while you have Littlefinger's Meddling revealed, the cost of the event will be reduced by 2, but the effect will still reveal the top 5 cards of your deck.

• The Hand's Judgment can be used to cancel Gilbert of the Vines for 0 gold, regardless of what the value of X is.

• If Gilbert of the Vines is placed in shadows by something like Assault from the Shadows, We Light the Way or Margaery Tyrell (TIC), it will gain shadow (0) while it is in shadows. That means it cannot be played, because it would not reveal any cards.

• The phrase "up to 2" includes 0, so you are allowed to choose no cards if you do not like any of them.

• If a revealed card is removed in some way (for instance, due to the abilities of Sweetrobin, Alla Tyrell or Margaery Tyrell (TIC)), that card cannot be added to your hand, and it is not shuffled back into your deck with the other cards.

Rules FAQ

• If multiple cards are revealed at the same time, you can only trigger Margaery once.

• If a search effects instructs you to "reveal" a card (usually followed by "and add it to your hand"), you can trigger Margaery to place that card in shadows instead. But note that only the card you find with the search effect is usually revealed, while other cards in the portion of the deck you are searching through are not.

• If Margaery places one of the cards revealed by Exchange of Information in shadows, the opponent cannot choose that card to add to your hand. They must chose among the cards that are still revealed.

• See the Rules FAQ on Alla Tyrell for other similar interactions that apply to Margaery as well.

• A card can only be "revealed" by card abilities that specifically use that word. If players can see the card by some other means (such as when it is shown as part of checking play restrictions, for instance), it is not considered to be revealed.

• Any ability that lets you "look" at cards in an opponent's hand or deck does not "reveal" those cards, even if both players know their identity as a result.

• You can use Margaery to place a card without the printed shadow keyword into shadows, however, that card will not automatically gain the shadow keyword while it is in shadows. It will need another way to come out of shadows (for instance, The Queen of Thorns (TMoW)).

Rules FAQ

• A replacement effect is an effect (usually an interrupt) that replaces the resolution of a triggering condition with a different means of resolving that same triggering condition, but in such a manner that the triggering condition is still considered to occur. The word "instead" is frequently indicative of a such an effect. After all interrupts to the triggering condition have resolved and it is time to resolve the triggering condition itself, the replacement effect resolves instead. If multiple replacement effects are initiated against the same triggering condition, the most recent replacement effect is the one that is used for the resolution of the triggering condition. (See Replacement Effects.)

• You can only kneel a Grace card you control, because an opponent's game elements may not be used to pay a cost. (See Costs.)

• If you trigger Temple of the Graces during a challenge, you are not considered to have applied claim, so you can draw a card with Pink Graces when the challenges phase ends.

• Temple of the Graces interacts with the Master of Whispers melee title in the opposite way to Trial by Combat. You cannot use it to apply claim against multiple opponents. (See previous FAQ ruling.)
