Hello.
I have few questions, that are probably matter of Timing Structure. I read the FAQ, but couldn't find answers myself.
1. Player A Initiates a power challenge with Benjen Stark (Core), and declares "Stealth" on player's B Ser Cortnay Penrose (KotS).
Can player B use Smuggler's Cove (KotS) in response, to give Ser Cortnay Penrose "Stealth", so he can't be the target for player's A Benjen Stark's "Stealth"?
2. Player A initiates a power challenge with Littlefinger (Core). Player B Declares John Snow (Core) as a defender. Player A passes, player B trigger Swamps of the Neck (TPoL) to Stand John Snow, and remove it from the challenge.
Is the player A challenge opposed or unopposed?
3. Player A initiates a power challenge with Littlefinger (Core). Player B Declares Catelyn Stark (Core) as a defender. Player A passes, player B trigger Catelyn Stark's Response ability, player A passes, Player B trigger Swamps of the Neck (TPoL) to Stand Catelyn Stark, and remove it from the challenge.
Does Littlefinger's Strenght counts to determine winner of the challenge, even if Catelyn Stark is not in that challenge anymore?
4. Player A controls Ser Ilyn Payne (Core). Player B controls Marya Seaworth (KotS) and have Painted Table (TbC) location in play. Player A triggers Ser Ilyn Payne's ability to kill Marya Seaworth.
Can player B cancel Ser Ilyn Payne's ability with Painted Table? Is that effect to cancel next triggered ability on the stack, or next triggered ability that is about to activate somewhere during that phase?
I am sorry for this wall of text, i just coudn't find answers myself.
