[Ruling] Scouting Vessel

- - - - -

Best Answer mplain , 19 December 2018 - 10:43 PM

1) After Scouting Vessel is used, can Euron Crow's Eye be triggered 3 times?


Yes. Euron has discarded 3 cards for pillage, allowing you to trigger the reaction 3 times.

2) After Scouting Vessel is used and discards 3 characters, can Ser Gregor Clegane or Corpse Lake be triggered 3 times?


Yes. If 3 characters are discarded, those abilities can be triggered 3 times.

3) After Scouting Vessel is used, can Tywin Lannister (LoCR) be triggered to override the the Vessel's effect?


No. After Scouting Vessel is used, the triggering condition of “exactly 1 card” being discarded from a deck is no longer imminent, so Tywin cannot be triggered.

Scouting Vessel

Interrupt: When a character you control discard a card using pillage, kneel and sacrifice Scouting Vessel to discard 3 cards instead.

RR "Replacement Effects" says: "the [original] triggering condition is still considered to occur."

We're somewhat confused by this entry, some are arguing that you're still considered to only discard 1 card using, so Euron can trigger only once.
Personally I think that this RR entry was written in regard to replacement effects of the type "when X happens, do X instead of Z" (e.g. Benjen Stark, Ser Davos Seaworth), while we're dealing here with another type "when X happens, do Y instead (of X)".

Additional question:

Can I chain multiple Scouting Vessel triggers together to discard 5 or 7 cards from a single pillage?

If you have two Scouting Vessels, you can use the first to cause 3 cards to be discarded, then use a second Scouting Vessel to replace the discard on one of those 3 cards, for a total of 5 cards discarded.
