Rules FAQ

• If Myrcella was your only participating character, the challenge resolution will still proceed as normal. Returning her to hand may also cause another character to be “attacking or defending alone” for the purposes of triggering card abilities (for instance, Jaqen H'ghar).

• Returning Myrcella to hand is not a cost. If her ability is cancelled, she will remain in play.

• If you save Myrcella from being returned to hand, the post-then aspect of the effect will not resolve. You will not gain permission to initiate an additional challenge.

• Max once per round (as opposed to “limit”) means you can only trigger this ability once, even if Myrcella re-enters play and wins another challenge. (See Limits and Maxima.)

Rules FAQ

• A card that is ambushed from your dead pile will trigger reactions to a card entering play from the dead pile (such as Drowned Disciple).

• All the standard rules for ambush still apply, it still only works during the challenges phase. Any effects that modify the cost to ambush a card also apply (for instance, The Many-Faced God).

• If a card has multiple instances of the ambush keyword, with different values of X, you may choose which instance of ambush to use.

Rules FAQ

• If the knelt character has both traits, both effects will happen.

• You can choose to kneel Victarion himself for his ability.

• You can choose to kneel a character that has neither of the specified traits if you wish (for instance, Alayne Stone or Iron Emmett).

• If Victarion’s ability is cancelled, the character will not be knelt, as kneeling the character is part of the effect rather than the cost. That also means you do not know which character will be knelt at the point when you have to decide whether to use a cancel or not.

• The start of each phase only provides one triggering condition for Victarion. You cannot kneel two separate characters to get both effects. However, you can trigger Victarion in as many phases as you like each round, provided you have the characters to do so.

• Victarion’s ability creates a lasting effect until the end of the phase. Removing the knelt character from play or manipulating its traits will not change that lasting effect in any way. Blanking Victarion’s text box will not work either after the ability has already been triggered.

Rules FAQ

• You can marshal facedown cards attached to Lady Marya into shadows. However, a card can never enter an out-of-play area of a player who does not own it, so such a card would just end up in its owner’s shadows area instead, under its owner’s control. (See Ownership and Control.)

• The facedown cards have no characteristics other than those granted to them by Lady Marya. That means cards that interact with attachments (such as Confiscation or Shadow of the East) can still interact with those cards. Cards like Lay Waste or Halder cannot, because facedown cards do not have the non-limited characteristic or any faction affiliation.

• You may only look at the identity of facedown cards that are under your control.

• If an opponent takes control of Lady Marya, any cards you attached to it will remain under your control. However, the opponent can still look at those cards and marshal or play them. (Source.)

• Facedown cards attached to Lady Marya are considered to be in play. If you marshal such a card, reactions to that card being marshaled can still be triggered, but reactions to that card entering play cannot. You also cannot resolve the bestow keyword on such a card. (Source.)

• If you sacrifice a facedown card attached to Lady Marya for Trading With Qohor, you will not be able to find any eligible card in your deck, as the sacrificed card had no printed cost.

Rules FAQ

• The chosen character cannot kneel or stand for any reason. This includes kneeling to participate in a challenge as an attacker or defender, paying the costs of an ability that would require the character to kneel or stand (like Grey Wind (Core) or Ser Barristan Selmy (TS)), or being intimidated.

• Beric’s ability lasts until the end of the round, so the chosen character will be prevented from standing in the standing phase.
