Nighttime Raid vs Climbing Spikes

By tarkin84, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Nighttime Raid
Challenges: Choose an attacking Grey character you control. Until the end of the phase, that character gains stealth. If you win the challenge, choose and discard 1 attachment from play.
Climbing Spikes
Attach to a location. If you control at least 1 Wildling character,treat attached location as if its printed text box were blank. If you control at least 2 Wildling characters,Climbing Spikes is immune to opponents' triggered effects.

Can Nighttime Raid discard Climbing Spikes if there are two wildlings are in play?

Thanks in advance.

Hello sir!

I understand why you are asking. The attachment discarding happens while it is a lasting effect. Therefore it happens passively so to speak. Based on that, I think Nighttime Raid will end up allowing you to discard Climbing Spikes because the discarding is not happening as a triggered effect.

This is a point that has come up before in relation to other cards, so the passive nature of the lasting effect is pretty well settled to be too far removed from the triggered effect that originally created it for immnuity to triggered effects to offer any protection.

Thank you very much!
