I'd like to use this card and I can see someone trying to use it that way
A character that cannot be killed/saved/etc. may not be chosen for that effect.
Fortified Position (LoW) or Margaery Tyrell (TftRK). Than You just have to kill it:) for example by using House Umber Berserkers (BoRF) or else
Maybe you could tell us what kind of deck you're playing Latarian to make it a bit easier for us to find more specific means of handling this situation that seems to be troubling you
I was playing a stark direwolf deck, with heavy draw effects. My brother put a ******* wharf rats on me, made me discard many of my cards. I think I'll put fortified position in my plot pile. That seems to be a really good way of getting rid of it.
@angarde Good call with the house umber berserkers and fortified position. I like that strategy a lot.
I also just though of using valar dohaeris on them. That would work too no?
Jeyne Poole would stick them with the player who brought them out.
Meera Reed can blank them any turn, then it's pretty easy to kill them.
Theon Greyjoy (PotS) would allow you to discard them for his effect.A Marched To The Wall would work too.
Fortified position is a pretty nice plot too that works against many deck archetypes that might be in your meta, such as Brotherhood. But be careful though, so that isn't hurting your own deck as much or more.
But any option that blanks the rats are great, because it allows you to both get rid of the effect for the phase AND let you use the rats as military claim soak
I wonder if it could be worth it not to trigger the response just to get a cbk monocon...
It depends if you can handle the discard for every challenge you win...
