Rules FAQ

• Characters being considered loyal makes a difference for cards like The Hollow Hill or Lady Stoneheart.

• You cannot use Fealty to reduce the cost of a non-loyal character, even if Lysa's ability would immediately make it loyal when it enters play. However, the character is still considered to have entered play as a loyal character. That means Joffrey Baratheon (GoH) can react, but Captain's Daughter cannot.

• Your initiative value cannot be reduced below 0. If it is a negative number after all relevant modifiers have been applied, it is treated as 0.

• Lysa gains one instance of each keyword from each loyal character you control, even if that character has multiple instances of a keyword. But she can still gain multiple instances of the same keyword if she is gaining it from two different characters.

• If Lysa gains the no attachments keyword, any attachment on her becomes illegally attached and is discarded from play. If she gains bestow immediately upon entering play, you can use the bestow keyword to put gold on her.

• Immunity is not a keyword, so Lysa will not gain any immunities with her ability.

Rules FAQ

• You can immediately trigger The Whispering Sound if it enters play itself during the challenges phase.

• If you do not successfully draw 2 cards (for example, if The High Sparrow only lets you draw 1), the post-then part of the effect does not resolve, so you do not place a card on top of your deck.

Rules FAQ

• Returning Butterbumps to shadows is the cost of the ability, so it still happens even if the ability is canceled.

• You compare the character's STR against the STR Butterbumps has at the point of leaving play, including all the modifiers.

• You can stand a character that cannot be removed from the challenge, or remove a character that cannot stand from the challenge. You resolve as much of the effect as you can, providing you can do at least one of the two things. If you cannot, the character is not a valid target. If there are no valid targets, the ability cannot be initiated.

Rules FAQ

• Since the save effect also removes the character from play, you can use it against terminal burn.

• You can save an opponent's character and return it to that player's hand. But the opponent can still use their own saves to save the character from being returned to hand. Note that the first player always has the first opportunity to use a save in any interrupt window. Also, some saves will work against a character being killed or discarded from play, but they will not work against a character being returned to hand (for instance, Bodyguard).

• If an ability says "cannot be saved", you cannot play this event just to return the character to hand.

Rules FAQ

• The reaction happens after the forced reactions of plots like The Mad King's Command or Supporting the Faith.

• You get 1 gold if you have at least 2 cards in shadows, 2 gold if you have at least 4 cards in shadows, and so on. If you have an odd number of cards in shadows, the gold is "rounded down".

• You cannot trigger the reaction if Devout Freerider is in play. If The High Sparrow is in play, you can only gain gold up to a total of 7 for that round.

• If In Daznak's Pit is played, you can trigger the reaction again when the additional challenges phase begins.
