So Visery's text reads: Interrupt: When Viserys leaves play choose an attachment and discard it from play. From the rulebook a duplicate has the text:

Interrupt

: Interrupt: When the overlapping unique

card would leave play, discard this duplicate to save that

card. (Cannot be canceled.)

 

The text for Interrupt reads:

It is possible for multiple interrupts to be initiated

from the same triggering condition. Each interrupt

must resolve completely before the next interrupt to

the same triggering condition may initiate.

 

This could be read as either A or B

 

A) Effect which would remove viserys from play initiates

- Interrupt: discard an attachment

- Interrupt: Save Viserys

 

OR

 

Effect which would remove viserys from play initiates

- Save/Cancel action possible here to save Viserys

 Effect removes viserys from play

-Interrupt: Discard attachment

Viserys actually leaves play

 

I'm assuming B but I thought I'd check.

It's B. Viserys would leave play until after the effect goes through. However, if you save him, then the effect doesn't really complete.

Note that the word "would" on saves ("Would leave play/be killed/be discarded") indicates a timing priority. This is actually one of the trickier technical aspects of the rules, but I recommend you check out the Q&TR on this very subject. In essence, by the time you get to using an interrupt to actually dying/leaving play, you've already forgone the opportunity to save - and if you DO save, the character won't get around to dying/leaving play.

 

It sort of looks like this.

 

Effect Would Initiate (A cancel happens here, and if it does, we stop here)
Effect Initiates.

Effect Would Resolve (A save happens here, and if it does, we stop here)
Effect Resolves (an interrupt to the effect resolving happens here, but resolves before the effect it's interrupting).
