Loyal Guard

By sahandriel, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Okay so I was playing this again after several months of school, and I was wondering, my understanding of the duplicates rule is this: Once you play the duplicate they go under the character being duplicated but once you have to use the response you discard the top copy and the lower one becomes the current copy.

if this is the case they why stack Loyal Guard on say Renly or Robert to save them, am I missing something about this rule, or is there errata about this care. I have looked in the FAQ and found nothing.

Thanks for replying

You're missing the fact that you discard the duplicate (one of the "lower copies"), not the actual character (the "top copy") to save it.
