Question about Timing with Maester Attachment and Lord of Light Protect Us

By jack merridew, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

So lasdt night i was playing a Baratheon Asshai deck against a Greyjoy Maester deck and this situation came up.

I won a military challenge and to save a character my opponent knelt Maester Wendamyr, I then played Lord of Light Protect us and had enough Asshai characters to bounce Maester Wendamyr back to his hand. The timing question came up when my opponent wanted to discard an attachment with the Tin Link attachment on Wendamyr, we ruled that he was allowed to discard the attachment before he got bounced back to hand,

i just wanted to clarify

The way I see it is that the triggered response of the attachment was done during the same player action window that allowed you to play that event card, so it still applies until the whole player action window resolves(which means placing all moribund cards into their appropriate piles or the controllers hand). Once the moribund cards are put at rest, no triggered responses for anything done in the player action window can be played since the window has resolved.

I could be wrong though.

Just to clarify the situation, was Wendamyr being knelt to save himself, or to save another character? Since you canceled the save, whomever Wendamyr was saving should have been killed for claim. If he was saving himself, I was just wondering why you would choose to send Wendamyr back to hand with the event instead of letting him die for claim.

As for the rest of it, Bomb is correct that when Wendamyr is sent back to hand, he becomes moribund for the rest of the (framework) action window. That means he is still physically on the table until all passives and Responses are done. Since he was knelt as part of the window, he can still use the Tin Link Response "on the way out."

He was knelt to save a different character, and i played it to have that character die and my opponent have to pay for Wendamyr again, it seemed correct but any time im unsure its off to the boards

Did he? I thought Wendamyr was saving himself there. I was kinda glad you snet him back to hand - he came right back next round.
