They're defending. The icon only effects rather or not a person can be declared for the challenge.
Yeah, consider a challenge an exclusive club that the characters are in the queue to enter, and the correct icon is their ID to get in. Margaery's ability is a case of, she's already in the club and is friends with the bouncer, and the person she kneels out gets waved through without the ID check.

I like that analogy. +1

Lmao at how incredibly elaborate, and yet wildly accurate, an analogy that is.
so if a character with only a mil icon is chosen to defend against her, we compare STR normally and procede to the resolution right? she wouldn't just win like an unoposed challenge?

Correct. She says to choose a character (makes no mention of icon restriction) and then states they are "participating... as a defender".

So they are a defending character and count STR as normal.
Can I choose an already kneeling character as a target to participate against her?

No, because everything pre-then needs to complete successfully for the post-then to take effect. If you can't successfully kneel the character, then you don't get the rest of the text.

Yeah that makes sense. Just wishful thinking on my part. Forcing any of your opponents characters to participate is REALLY strong.

At least you can stand them first with Marya Seaworth (KotStorm). ;)

Why would you stand an opponent's character just to kneel them again. Your better off simply standing Margaery so you can use her ability twice.
I guess if you wanted them to participate for another reason, for instance Deadly, you might get play from using Marya on them.

Margaery is once per phase.

I like her. I was thinking of other combos with her. Somebody already mention combining her with deadly. I was also thinking of using her with the Highgarden Honor Guard. Right before you make a challenge with her you put the Honor Guard into play on your opponents side and use Margaery's triggered effect on it. Assuming her melee is not in effect the Honor Guard will win and you gain control of it. Not too shabby.

I agree, she's bonkers good, but I don't think she's enough to make honor guard good. Using 2 cards of mine to purposefully loose a challenge isn't something I want to do.

If I give joust to Margaery and attack just with her, triggering her response, the defending player should declare one character (and only one, as joust states so) as a participating defending character? or Margaery has the only one defender available?
No, joust states that your opponent can only DECLARE one defender. You pulled that character into a challenge, they did not declare him as a defender. So, they could still declare a defender after you pull the character into the challenge because they never did actually declare a character as a defender yet. You just pulled one into the challenge. This is also the same way that she works with Desolate Passage.
Boy if Lanny had any cheap characters with Deadly.....Bronn's Hireling? Baras Ghost of Winterfell works very nicely with her.
Give her a Dragonbone Dagger (THoBaW) :)

What happens if I redirect the challenge (title/Varys)?

I'm foggy on the timing but the character would still be participating in the challenge regardless.

What happens if I redirect the challenge (title/Varys)?

The redirect ability on Lord Commander of the
Kingsguard occurs during step 2 (save/cancel)
of the resolution of the Framework Action
Window in which stealth targets are chosen
and defenders are (not) declared. It cancels
the initiation of this Window, and re-opens
the Player Action Window between declaring
attackers (now against the new target) and
assigning stealth.
What about the Crown Regent? Does that one work in the same way?

I think if you are "Crown Regent" you must choose to be defending player or to redirect the challenge.Then goes abilities,stealth...

Timing of Redirects (they're all a little different):

 

Crown Regent: This redirect comes immediately after declaring the challenge/attackers, and therefore happens before Margaery gets a chance to use her Response. Therefore, when she can use her Response, she will be able to choose from the characters of the new defending player.

Lord Commander: This redirect comes after the original defender (doesn't) declare defending characters. It then rewinds and gives the attacker the chance to declare stealth against the new defender. However, all of this redirect action takes place long after Margaery would have triggered her Response, so any character (controlled by the original defender) will remain in the challenge as a defending character, just not controlled by the (current) defending player. Note that since that character was not declared, it does not count against the requirements for Lord Commander.

"Supports": Like Lord Commander, this redirect comes after the original defender (doesn't) declare defending characters. However, it doesn't rewind and the attacker doesn't get the opportunity to declare stealth against the new, supporting defender. But like Lord Commander, all of this redirect action takes place long after Margaery would have triggered her Response, so any character (controlled by the original defender) will remain in the challenge as a defending character. just not controlled by the (current) defending player. Note that since that character was not declared, it does not count against the requirements for "Support."

Varys: Varys is a Response to an opponent declaring a challenge. Margaery is a Response to herself being knelt as an attacker. These Response opportunities will be open at the same time, so the timing is going to depend on who triggers their Response first. What it comes down to is that Margaery will have to choose from the characters controlled by the player who is defending at the time she is triggered. If Margaery triggers first, that will be the original defending player (and that character will stay in the challenge, defending though not controlled by the defending player once Varys is triggered). If Varys triggers first, that will be the new defending player (and the character targeted by Margaery will have to be controlled by the new defending player).
