negating effects

By dolphinsboy, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Hi all,

just a few questions:

1) interesting situation, i was playing baretheon and my opponent was playing martel, that should explain everything but yeah. lol i play a lord and in response i try to put in formal escorts which come into play if i play a lord. my fellow opponent then plays the event to cancel a response without an influence cost. now what happens to formal escort? do they get discarded, go to my hand, what?

2) i was playing lanister. i played the city of something the one that kneels x characters equal to the number of city plots in your discard pile. so i choose x characters and one of those characters has a response, can my opponent in reaction to me kneeling his character kneel his character to kick off its response?

cost and/or initiation

Fun side note: the card in your hand is not subject to the "one Response per trigger" rule because it is considered a completely different card when triggered from your hand, so when your Martell opponent canceled the Escort's Response, leaving it in your hand, you could have just triggered the Response a second time and put it into play. Canceling Formal Escort, Khal Drogo or any of these other into-play-from-hand character effects ends up being pretty pointless - unless he really needed that +2 STR attachment that his cancel event became.
