Hi There

Can Shaggydogs ability be used again on the same attacking charcter, basically, can I kneel a Direwolf to trigger ability then after action window is resolved kneel another Direwolf on same attacking character.

Example.

Player attacks me with STR 4 character.

Can I kneel Shaggydog as the direwolf to trigger SD ability on above character, then kneel another Direwolf card to give above attacker another -2 thus nulling his chalange per say barring any effect or responses attacking player may have.

I think I can due to his triggered ability not being, eg, " one per phase " I thought it was a no brainer but two players have raised the issue of the Rob Stark and Direwolf attachments mechanic as bieng way too strong, so I thought I'd better double check.

Thanks

Just show them new Ser Barristan.

Yes, there's nothing to stop you from triggering Shaggydog's ability multiple times.

I don't understand this part.

In your example, what you end up with is an attacking character with 0 Strength. The attacking character is not removed from the challenge and the challenge continues to resolve. If you have defending characters with at least 1 total strength, you win the challenge. If you declare no defenders, nobody wins the challenge, but it still resolves.

The complaint is from the attacker who says it's too easy to reduce their attacking STR to 0, so they can't win. No offense, but it's typical "it's unfair, therefore illegal" reaction people always have until they figure out how to deal with the cards and built their decks accordingly.

Sorry, I didnt phrase that sentence too well. I just meant that the challange cant be won by him if we take it as the attacking player had no way of responding by upping his strength in anyway, thus he was stuck on 0 STR.

Thanks

Were fairly new to the game but Ive already had that type of problem with the Targayen players Dragon deck. I was getting hammered all the time and not seemingly able to even get out the traps. It took me a good few games to realise the strenght of his dragons were connected to his Dragon freindly locations and breaking the connection between each card was key.

Ive been pleased with the results so far.

Thanks
