need an example to understand it
how to understand the new faq 3.39?
Player A flips Valar.
Player B kneels Maester of the Sun and discards The Darkstar from hand to save Arienne Martell. The Darkstar ends up in play during the save/cancel step.
When Valar resolves, Arienne lives (since she was saved), Maester of the Sun dies (killed by Valar), and, according to 3.39, The Darkstar dies.
(Before the FAQ, there was fairly strong argument that since The Darkstar missed the initiation of Valar, he avoided its resolution.)

The flipside of this question came up in a game earlier: Valar flopped with Aeron Damphair (KotS) in play. Since his effect resolves as a passive after Valar resolves, he goes to the bottom of the deck and the 'non-unique Holy character with cost 3 or lower' put in play by his effect lives. It took us a moment to work that out within the new rule, but it was clear enough once we thought it through.
