The Knight

Rules FAQ

  • Since The Knight's ability does not require you to "choose" targets, your opponents will not know which characters you intend to return to hand until after the cancel window has passed.

  • You can trigger The Knight even if there is only 1 character in the defending player's discard pile. If you do, the claim value will not be raised, because the pre-then aspect of the effect has not successfully resolved in full. (See The word "Then".)

  • You can use Caggo Corpsekiller to place one of the characters in its owner's dead pile instead of returning it to hand. If you do, the pre-then aspect of the effect is still considered to have resolved in full, so the claim value will be raised as well. (See Replacement Effects.)

Robert's Rebellion

Rules FAQ

  • If you reveal Robert's Rebellion with Battle of the Trident, the game will "remember" whether you lost a challenge prior to revealing the plot. You will still discard 3 power if you did. On the other hand, if you lose a challenge while Robert's Rebellion is revealed, then reveal a different plot later in the phase, you will not discard any power.

  • Losing a challenge that was changed to with Storm's End (BtB) still counts as losing a challenge.

  • The forced interrupt triggers before any lasting effects that last "until the end of the phase" expire, and before any delayed effects resolve "at the end of the phase". If you use Nefarious Acolyte to blank the text box of Robert's Rebellion, the plot will still be blank at the time the forced interrupt would normally trigger, so you do not discard any power.

  • The forced interrupt triggers even if you have less than 3 power on your faction card. You simply discard all the power you can.

Blackhaven Rider

Rules FAQ

  • You can trigger the reaction even if one or more players control no loyal characters they can kneel. Each other player must still choose and kneel one.

  • A character is not an eligible target of this ability if it cannot be knelt. That means you cannot choose a kneeling character, a character that "cannot kneel" (for instance, due to The Black Cells), or a character that "cannot be knelt by card effects" (for instance, Bran Stark (BtB)).

Victarion Greyjoy

What does the "immune to opponent's character abilities" actually stop? Is it only triggered abilities or constant abilities too?

Constant too. If you attack with little Theon, Victarion will be able to defend and not have his strength excluded from the challenge. —
What Is Dead May Never Die

If I put Aeron Damphair into play, does he also put an Ironborn character into play as well?

Yes, that works. You can react with Aeron in the same reaction window. :) —
