Rules FAQ

• You cannot play Retribution if the character is saved.

• You compare the number of characters after claim has already been applied.

• If multiple characters are killed for claim, you can play multiple copies of Retribution. But you have to compare the number of characters before each one you play.

• If a claim replacement ability is used, a character is not killed "for claim", unless that specific phrase is used. In other words, Trial by Combat would work, but The Seastone Chair would not. If a character is killed to satisfy claim outside of a challenge (for instance, with A Toast to the King), Retribution cannot be played, because there is no attacking player.

• An attacking character is a character participating in the challenge on the attacker's side.

Rules FAQ

• If multiple characters are declared as attackers or defenders at the same time, Gulian can react twice. You have to say which character you are reacting to each time, but you do not have to state which icon you are removing until the cancel window has passed.

• Removing an icon while a character is already participating in a challenge does not directly affect that challenge, but it could matter for abilities like The Red Viper (OR) or Sandstone.

• You can choose an icon the character does not currently have.

• In a Melee game, you can trigger Gulian even during challenges where you are not the attacking or defending player.

• You cannot trigger Gulian when a character becomes participating in some way other than being declared as an attacker or defender (for instance, Ours is the Fury or Azor Ahai Reborn).

Rules FAQ

• The phrase "determine dominance" means you count STR for dominance the same way you would in the dominance phase. The winner gains 1 power, and any reactions to winning or losing dominance can be triggered.

• The Regent's Council determines dominance while the game is still in the challenges phase. Cards like Edric Storm (LoCR) or Fiery Followers cannot be triggered. Abilities that specifically refer to the dominance phase (such as Flea Bottom Bastard) do not apply, but abilities that refer to dominance itself (such as Nagga's Ribs) do.

• The dominance phase still happens as normal later in the round.

• Northern Encampment can stand if you won dominance at least one time. You do not need to win it every time it is determined during the round.

Rules FAQ

• Marshaling Crawn into shadows will not trigger Dragonstone, but it will trigger Caggo Corpsekiller.

• You can marshal Crawn into shadows even if there is a copy of him in your dead pile, but you cannot bring him out of shadows in that scenario.

• Since the ability works while Crawn is in your discard pile, Fortified Position does not affect it.

Rules FAQ

• Up to 2 includes 0, so you can choose no cards if you play this event from shadows. But you have to choose a card if you play it from your hand.

• If you have Late Summer Feast revealed, the forced reaction will trigger first. If the opponent declines to draw a card, they do not get another chance after this event is played.
