Rules FAQ

• You own the cards that were in your deck when the game started. If attached character switches control, you still keep control of the attachment, so it will continue to be legally attached.

• The reaction is optional. You do not need to remind the opponent to trigger it.

• In a Melee game, you can trigger the reaction even if you win against a different opponent than the one who controls attached character.

• If attached character is participating in a challenge when it switches control, it is immediately removed from the challenge. This does not make the challenge unopposed if it was the only defending character.

• You cannot trigger the reaction if Rationing or The King in the North are revealed.

• If multiple "take control" effects are used on the same character, the most recent one prevails.

• If Dubious Loyalties leaves play, the current controller keeps control of attached character.

Rules FAQ

• You own the cards that were in your deck when the game started, regardless of who currently controls them.

• The action window in the dominance phase comes after dominance is determined.

• The take control effect persists even if Steelshanks Walton leaves play.

Rules FAQ

• If Grand Melee is revealed, Grey Galley's ability will let you have STR in the challenge even if you only have one defending character. It also stops unopposed challenges if your defending characters have 0 STR or do not contribute their STR to the challenge.

• The text of Grey Galley is self-referential. One copy will not contribute 3 STR just because another copy came out of shadows that phase. It only refers to itself.

Rules FAQ

• The cards are revealed to all players.

• If the opponent has fewer than 10 cards left in their deck, all of the remaining cards are revealed.

• The reaction itself is optional, but once you trigger it, you have to choose a valid character if there is one available, even if you would prefer not to (for example, if the only valid target is Freedmen).

• Interrupts like Alla Tyrell or Sweetrobin can be used when the cards are revealed. Any card that is "removed" from the revealed cards by those abilities is no longer available to be chosen afterwards.

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.
