Rules FAQ

• A character can be placed in your dead pile in one of two ways: by being killed, or by a card effect (like Nagga's Ribs). Tarle's reaction can be triggered in either case.

• You cannot put a unique character into play with Tarle if there is another copy of it in your dead pile.

• If the character cannot enter play (for instance, due to Barring the Gates or Iron Emmett), you cannot trigger Tarle.

• For the post-then part of the effect, you can choose to kill the character you just put into play.

• The character you kill in the post-then part of the effect can be saved.

• If the character enters play as a duplicate, the post-then part of the effect does not resolve and you do not kill anything.

• If you use Drowned Prophet to place a Drowned God character in your dead pile, then use Tarle to put that character into play, this will all happen before Drowned Prophet actually leaves play. That means you can then kill Drowned Prophet again in the post-then part of the effect, and trigger it again to put another character in your dead pile.

• When a unique character leaves play, any duplicates on it are discarded at the same time. If such a duplicate is then placed in the dead pile by Nagga's Ribs and you trigger Tarle's reaction, the original character will be gone by the time the new one enters play.

• If a character with Drowned God's Blessing attached is killed, you can trigger reactions to a Drowned God character being killed (for instance, Aeron Damphair (KotI)), but you cannot trigger reactions to a Drowned God character being placed in your dead pile if it does not have a printed instance of the trait.
