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.

Rules FAQ

• You choose the value of X when you bring Nightflyer out of shadows. The cost of X can still be reduced by cards like Hizdahr zo Loraq without affecting your range of possible targets.

• It is possible for Nightflyer to get another instance of the shadow keyword, with a different shadow cost. This can happen if it is placed in shadows by a card such as We Light the Way. In such a case, you choose which instance of shadow you use to bring it out of shadows. You have to use the original "Shadow (X)" to be able to trigger the reaction afterwards.

• Unlike the original version of the card, this one does not allow you to target limited locations. However, you could still do that if you blank them first (for instance, with Nightmares or the assault keyword).

Rules FAQ

• You can ambush multiple copies of Jade Sea Dromond or any other Warship location with the limited keyword. The restriction of 1 limited card per round only applies to cards that are marshaled or played, but not to cards that are "put into play" using ambush.

• A quantity cannot be reduced so that it functions with a value below zero, so any 0-cost Warship in your hand will simply gain ambush (0).

• Although the wording is somewhat unusual, it works just like any other "do X to do Y" ability. You kneel Pyke and choose a target first, and then your opponent can cancel the effect with cards like Treachery. (See previous ruling on Roose Bolton (GoH).)

• You can target your own cards with Pyke, including something like Risen from the Sea after it has become an attachment.

• Placing a card on top of a player's deck is not the same as discarding that card. In other words, you can use a duplicate or Improved Fortifications to save a location against Pyke, but you cannot use Rimegate. Same with characters, a card like Family, Duty, Honor will still work, but Bodyguard will not.

• The phrase "that player" refers to the card's owner. If you target a card that is not under its owner's control, it is the owner (not the controller of the card) who will draw 1 card at the end of the phase.

• If the card is saved, the post-then part of the effect will not resolve, so the owner will not get to draw a card.

• Note that this version of the card (unlike the original) cannot react to itself entering play. It reacts to Warship locations (from any faction) rather than locations now.

Rules FAQ

• Reactions to a card being pillaged come later than reactions to winning the challenge (and later than reactions to claim being applied). If you draw something like We Do Not Sow with Asha's ability, the window to play it during that challenge has already passed.

• If you have multiple characters with pillage in the same challenge, you choose their order (this matters for cards like Silence's Crew (TRW)), but all the cards are still pillaged simultaneously. The reaction window opens after all the cards have been pillaged, so the value of X should be the same wherever Asha is in the order (but may change if you trigger reactions like Nute the Barber before hers). If Harren the Black is in play, additional cards will also be discarded for each pillaged card before Asha's reaction can be triggered.

• If you trigger Scouting Vessel, Asha is considered to have pillaged 3 separate cards. However, you can still only trigger the reaction once due to her once per phase limit. Note that the limit is new in this version of the card compared to the original one. The other difference is that you have to reveal the card you search for now.
