I think Stark is going to suffer with this.
Also any baratheon deck with Melisandre (RotO)
Does this work like you have and control example 5 prized characters in play and you put valar and then infamous to get all prized powers for your own characters?
^ of course i must remain one lannister character alive
Nope, power for each prized character would be given to your opponent separately. You can take power for one character with one Infamous!.
Also note that if The Blackfish (AH) gives Prized 1 to a charcter that already had Prized X, you can't use Infamous! to claim X + 1 power. You have to choose which of the Prized keywords you respond to, even though they are both on the same character.
Yes, if somehow a character had Prized 5 (that would be a ridiculous card indeed), then Infamous could steal all 5 power because it would be claimed all at once. However, if 5 different characters that each had Prized 1 were killed by valar, only 1 power could be stolen because each Prized 1 resolves separately, resulting in 1 power being claimed 5 times.
Correct. The event is responding to a specific power claim, not to all power claims before you reached responses. So you can choose which power claim you are responding to, but you don't get all of it from different sources.
Even during a 2 claim, unopposed, power challenge. The 2 power from claim is one power gain you can respond to, and the 1 power from unopposed is another power gain you could respond to.Except as mentioned when winning a power challenge you don't claim power from the opponent you "move" the power
haha, you are correct.
Could you please clarify, if I win a power challenge, which was unopposed, I'm going to take two power (one power, as part of the power challenge, from the losing opponent, and one more power for the unopposed challenge from the power pool). Does it mean, that after playing "Infamous!" event, both these power will be stolen?
No. For a couple of reasons:
1. The event can only be played in response to a single "claim power" effect. Resolving claim for winning the challenge is effect #1. Taking the bonus power for winning an unopposed challenge is effect #2. You cannot respond to two effects with a single event. You have to pick one or the other.
2. The game mechanic for "claiming" power is when you take power from the power pool and put it on a card in play. The total number of power in play always increases. But when you resolve the "claim" effect for a power challenge, you actually MOVE power from your opponent's House card to your own - the total number of power in play stays the same, it is just redistributed. So winning a power challenge does not create the required "After a player claims 1 or more power for his or her House..." effect that is required in order to play Infamous!
(Note that the difference between "claiming" and "moving" power is the reason one player cannot use Infamous! against an opponent's Infamous!.)
So, in the situation you describe, this event can only be played in response to claiming the bonus power, not the claim effect, for winning an unopposed challenge, meaning that the Infamous! player will only get one power.
