Rules FAQ

• If the number of plot cards in your used pile is higher than 5 (including modifiers such as Ricasso or Gulltown (JS)), you can still play the event. You will draw 5 cards.

• If The High Sparrow is in play and Secret Schemes would have you draw more cards than you are allowed, you only draw up to the number you are allowed.

Rules FAQ

• If an opponent initiates a When Revealed ability on your plot card "as if they had just revealed it" with a card like Varys's Riddle, Pulling the Strings, Weirwood Grove, Tyrion's Chain or Taste the Blood, it is considered to be an opponent's ability from your point of view, so you can cancel it with Someone Always Tells. Same if they play an event from your discard pile with Archmaester's Key.

• Unlike the original version of the card, this one can only cancel When Revealed abilities on plot cards. It cannot cancel other triggered plot abilities like The Mad King's Command (BtB) or Winter Festival.

Rules FAQ

• A card with shadow is any card that has the shadow keyword, whether printed or gained. If a card has the printed shadow keyword but its text box is blanked, that card is not considered to be a card with shadow.

• Paying X gold is part of the cost, so it will still be paid if the event is canceled. (See Costs.)

• Abilities that reduce the cost to play an event will reduce the gold cost of Clever Feint (which is already 0). They will not reduce the additional cost of X.

• X is determined by the number of cards you intend to return to shadows. You cannot choose X to be higher just to spend more gold (for instance, from a character with Slander and Lies attached).

• If you choose a card you control but do not own, it will go to its owner's shadows area instead. (See Ownership and Control.)

Rules FAQ

• "Spend" refers to any ability that allows a player to choose to pay gold or move gold from their gold pool. This includes paying costs and moving gold for bestow. (See Spending Gold.)

• You can choose any card in play, even if it does not have the bestow keyword or any other interaction with gold in its text. You can also choose a card with bestow that already has gold equal to or higher than its X value.

• You can choose the faction card or any revealed plot card in play. You cannot choose your gold pool, since that is not a card in play.

Rules FAQ

• A character enters play if it is marshaled, ambushed, brought out of shadows, put into play by a card ability, or when an effect that removed it from the game expires. If the card was already in play (for instance, as a facedown attachment in A Mummer's Farce deck), it is not considered to have entered play when you marshal it.
