How does this work in melee? Does it cancel 1 effect (the first triggered by an opponent) or 3 (the first triggered by every opponent)?
Does this card blockade the first effect triggered in the current round (triggered even before this card came into play) or the first effect triggered only after this card came into play?
@arial It cancels the first effect triggered in the current round , so if you play it after the first effect has been triggered it doesnt work for the round.
Experimenting with ways to mess with Greyjoy decks run off of Brotherhood agenda. Currently I'm using a Baratheon Asshai/holy deck with Melisandre (Core) and running HOD Eastwatch by the Sea. I think I'm right in assuming that, since Eastwatch's effect is triggered as soon as an opponent reveals a new plot card (i.e. almost certainly my first location effect each round), and since it's immune to non-plot card effects thanks to HOD, River Blockade if in play is rendered pretty much redundant and ineffective...
Check the FAQ's entry on the "Scope of Immunity." A card's immunity does not protect a triggered effect from being canceled by whatever the card is immune to (because the cancel is not a direct effect on the immune card). River Blockade will cancel Eastwatch in the situation you describe.
Thanks, ktom. Card immunity does not extend to triggered responses on the card - understood. Ah well, back to A City Besieged and Condemned by the Council to get rid of the blighters and allow Eastwatch to work its magic.
Using it already, along with A City Besieged - got to have some ways of countering the cancel-effect of the Blockades if Eastwatch is going to work at all! Winning intrigue against Greyjoy is generally easy, especially with a few Shadow Enchantresses around; although when tricons such as Asha are combined with Brotherhood characters like Beric in a Greyjoy deck it can be less straightforward.
