Is the challenge considered unopposed??
If they only defended with one character and you use scouting vessel then it is considered unopposed.
I freckin hate playing against this card. It is like my own personal huge blindspot. Turn after turn I defend challenges and forget to take it into account.

this really is top 3 greyjoy cards outside of wintertime marauders and maybe iron mines
I love this card, messes with your opponent's mind and lots of unopposed challenges thanks to this
If I use this card against a player who is Lord Commander of the Kingsguard (Or another Title which gives +3 Military Strength from one of the variants) and he used only one character, which i switch off, what happens? Does the title bonus still apply, or not?

The titles do not apply their STR to any given character, they are simply applied to the encounter provided that you control at least 1 participating character. So, using SV against someone's only defender, if they have the title for the appropriate challenge they will still have 3 STR defending.
ok. So characters are not automatically taken out of challenge with STR 0?! Great to know, thanks! :)

Here are a few things to note: Nothing removes a character from a challenge unless it says it does. Things such as Frozen Outpost (LoW) or High Ground (QoD) will stand a character, but that does not remove them from a challenge. However, an effect like Silent Assassin (ASoSilence) most certainly will.

Scouting Vessel only ignores a defender's STR, it doesn't reduce it. The end result is effectually the same but conceptually different. Meaning, when you use scouting vessel someone could not trigger the effect from The Brazen Beasts (ARotD) because a character's STR was not reduced to 0. It was simply ignored/not counted.

You can even initiate a challenge with a 0 STR character (though to win you have to at least have a STR greater than 0 - and obviously a STR that is greater than or equal to that of the opponent's defending STR).

I'd like to see some more discussion on this.
