Doran Martell

Rules FAQ

  • If any card you control in shadows already has the shadow keyword, Doran will cause it to gain a second instance of the shadow keyword, possibly with a different cost. When such a card is brought out of shadows, you may choose which instance of the shadow keyword is used.

  • A card will gain the shadow keyword from Doran even if it was placed in shadows by different means (for instance, Edric Dayne (HMW)). If Doran leaves play (or his text gets blanked), any card that has no other source of the shadow keyword will no longer have shadow. Such a card may still be brought out of shadows by a card effect though (for instance, Starfall Spy).

  • You lose dominance if an opponent wins dominance. In a melee game, multiple players can lose dominance, even if one of them has a lower total for dominance than the others. If there is a tie for dominance, no player wins or loses dominance.

  • Doran’s reaction is optional, but once you decide to trigger it, you must place one of the cards in shadows even if you do not wish to. Do not reveal any cards to your opponents when resolving this ability.

The Warden of the West

Rules FAQ

  • The reaction works with claim, pillage, or any card ability that discards cards from an opponent’s hand or deck (such as Without His Beard or Wardens of the West). It also works with abilities that require cards to be discarded from hand as part of their cost (for instance, Consuming Flames).

  • Characters discard cards using pillage one at a time, so you will normally only be able to draw 1 card. However, it is possible for a single character to discard multiple cards using pillage (with Scouting Vessel, for instance), in which case you can draw more.

  • If Hotho Humpback is used during a challenge, players check reserve in turn, but all the cards one player discards for reserve are discarded simultaneously.

The Halfman's Horde

Rules FAQ

  • The number of attacking Clansman characters is checked at the point when you trigger the reaction, not at the point when the winner of the challenge is determined. For instance, if you trigger Tyrion Lannister (LoCR) first and return one of your Clansman characters to hand, that character will not count towards your number of Clansman characters for The Halfman’s Horde.

  • Kneeling a location that was targeted by assault happens before reactions to winning the challenge can be triggered. That means you can still kneel a location even if you intend to use a card like Tyrion Lannister (LoCR) to return The Halfman's Horde to hand. You cannot use intimidate in this scenario though, because that would come later in the sequence.

Torrhen's Square

Rules FAQ

  • Each individual Raider character must have a printed cost higher than your initiative value.

  • If a single character discards 2 or more cards using pillage, you can trigger reactions (such as Euron Crow's Eye (Core)) for each pillaged card.
