Kobaia said: but the +2 STR it has in Dominance, gives him the "aspect" of a standing character if I could say. So, how can you count STR if you don't have any character standing? If warship is kneeling - is your "aspect" still standing? Makiavel said: So if I have no character in play and my opponent has one character standing with 0 STR it's a tie. But give me 1 gold and I win. Right? Correct.

Kobaia said: Thus considering Warship a standing character with STR 2 in Dominance. So, by your logic you can attach Flame-Kissed to warship location and kill it as long it's during dominance phase, right?

Kobaia said: But since we have no standing character the rule nullify. How can I count STR if I don't have any character standing. STR is provided by a character. Look at Dagmer Cleftjaw agot.dbler.com/index.php You got correct answer in second post.

ktom said: Threat is Constant. The Hatchling's duping ability is Passive. Constant comes before passive. In that case ok, but why we should treat Hatchling's ability as passive? As I read, this affects the game continously. I cannot cancel that, right?

rings said: Isn't there plots that blank plots? Seems like I have seen them before...hmmm... Hmm... You can only blank one of the plots and only those which work outside plot phase, ****! Hmmm... Brienne can stop Siege... She should be banned immediately! Seriously dude, all plots should be banned or at least should be picked randomly. You can't just pick the one you like. That's stupid.

Makiavel said: If I kneel a card to pay influence cost, can I still use the card abilities? If you think about triggering ability of Northern Fiefdoms for example, while paying influence for different effect, then it's impossible. You cannot trigger an effect, inside another effect you are currently triggering.

rings said: Heaven help us if we reward balanced deckbuilding that doesn't rely only on a starting-in-play-untargetable card. ****, then we should immediately design some agenda that blank all currently revealed plots. It's outrageous that player can actually start the game with the plot he likes. And sometimes he can even put a character into play! That's unacceptable. Players should not rely on this.

ktom said: Technically, it's ability then kicks in (once it is in play) Why do you suggest, that Threat is first? It seems, problem here is that both constant effects begin to affect the card at the same time.

the1andonlime said: Yes, he will be killed twice. Just to avoid confusion: He is not killed twice (it's illegal). Point is, when you use a save response, he is still participating and still lives, that's why deadly kills him.

Steelemdv94 said: My friend played a dragon card ( not sure of the name) That says pay 1 gold search your deck for the same card and ATTACH the card to it. So how does this work? does it now act like an attachment? would you now add the two str together? or is it just a way of searching your deck for a duplicate? PS - The game is not mine so I cannot read the rule book atm. Attached duplicates are not considered attachments. You don't add STR. Duplicates serve only as a save response. You can download rulebook and FAQ from support page.

@Steelemdv94: Remember that situation you describe depends on many things (who wins initiative etc.), but if you find out that multiplayer game is no fun, try joust. Many people play only 2 player version of game (and believe it's much better fun). Saturnine said: A duplicate can be discarded to save the attached card from being removed from play (for example when it would be killed or discarded). Note that this can only be done with unique characters. Just to be clear: Saturnine wanted to say "this can be done with unique cards" (not only characters). Duplicates are played for free and they are nothing but duplicates (this is not doubling your character). Read page 19 of rulebook.

Saturnine said: But it still happens sometimes that one players card just gets scrambled into another player's deck after a game. Well, good habit: you always should count your deck after a game.

coachdavis said: What happens when you win a power challenge against an opponent with no power? There's nothing to "steal", so you don't get power. Though you can still get bonus power if the challenge is unopposed.

barabanus said: If you look into the rules book, House Specific Keywords section (page 21), you may see that there's an icon in parenthesis after each keyword, so one may think that this property is the same as the icon. Yes, this can be misleading. They only wanted to show that each House has specific keyword.

Welcome! barabanus said: 1. Summer this attachment is played on stalwart character only. These icons (little heads of wolf, lion etc.) mean House Stark, House Lannister etc. barabanus said: So any player must give one gold token to any opponent of his choice in order to play an event card, right? Correct.

Stukov said: May I attach Chains to this inmune Joffrey from The Maester's Path Agenda? Yes. There is no word "choose".

Phloyd456 said: Now when I look at them online, in the description that there 240 cards in the set. Where did you see that?

rings said: Not sure why agendas should be so favored, considering the lack of effort in putting them into play Because agenda is not just a card as well. There is a sense in it that agenda cards cannot be canceled. The idea behind agenda card is to get something and loose something instead and change the basic concept of the game. If you think about summer agenda as the same card as Golden tooth mines, then I understand your point, but if you think about Night's watch guys suddenly loosing all icons, then it's stupid. People would stop using such agenda at all, if that is what you want then ok.

It's not about playstyle. It's all about designing. Some agendas are well designed, e.g. The Siege of Winterfell - it's powerful, so people play it, and it has built in drawback, does not matter what your opponent deck is, drawback is always there. If Kings of summer is a problem, then ban it and print new better designed summer agenda. If Maester's path is a problem, then errata it (at least 1 "maester character only" chain or something). Also having a 4/3 unique who blanks all agendas is not a good idea - in case of Siege you can ruin whole opponent's deck and it kills an idea of agenda.

Ahzrab said: If my opponent plays Valar and Crane would die, can my Lord characters still use his ability to save themselves from Valar? Yes. You need to read about moribund concept in FAQ. Cards that are killed stay on table until the end of action window and continue to interact with the game.

ktom said: No, you misunderstood what I was saying. No, this time I understood what you was saying.

Shenanigans said: Can I use Ambush from the Plains to jump the copy in, immediately attaching it to the in-play Drogon as a duplicate? Yes. Shenanigans said: However (again) the general duplicate rules only mention duplicates in your hand. I don't see which one. Duplicate is a card with same title. Nothing about being in hand, if that's what you mean. Shenanigans said: does the return to hand effect of Ambush From the Plains take effect at the end of phase? My hunch is no, because "that character" is no longer in play Correct.

Hollow Hill is obviously a mistake - it's a response. Check the FAQ. Read also about moribund concept. Lost spearman remains on table even if it returns to hand and you can trigger Hollow Hill's response and get your card always.

ktom said: something that was interestingly not carried over into initiative, even though there are -X initiative modifiers as well, The paragraph does not say anything about -X or lowering, so the title is ok. This prooves nothing. And as we know rulebook is far from perfect. Interesting, how arguments may be made, both ways, based on exact wording (e.g. deadly definition, Red vengeance/Doran power challenge). In the end it's how designers want and write in FAQ.ktom said: isn't the "out of house gold penalty" a positive modifier? Seriously? Even foreingers know what this means. Is it your argument? Ok, but then I will say that Knights of the Hollow Hill stops all gold penalties. Gold penalty = gold bonus, isn't it?ktom said: Language meaning is affected by context. In the "income bonus" context, the mechanics of adding all modifiers together, regardless of sign, and applying the results must be factored in. You said yourself "adding all modifiers". When card says "bonus" it should mean positive modifier. If desingers would want to create a card which stops -X only, then how they will write it? "negative income bonuses don't work"? or "negative income modifiers don't work"? Context is one thing and words meaning, the other.ktom said: I know you hate learning these contextual components, but in a game as driven by context as this, such things are inevitable. I'm just disappointed, that nobody cares about improving this game. Think about new players - they have no idea about historical rulings, they learn from rulebook. And then they need to remember one more silly, unintuitive thing. Any player or TO will be perfectly right to "target" only positive modifiers with cards like Rains of Autumn.

Stasis said: Can Scurvy Cutthroat be used to discard attachments that come out of shadows? No, this card says "After an opponent plays an attachment card" - and cards coming from shadows into play are not played.
