One of my favorite plots ever! (It has become a bit silly with the Lead Link though :P )

Probably my favourite plot as well! Does wonders with lead killer combo, but Hatchlings' Feast is also capable of wiping the enemy board. I'm even interested in playing it with other houses then Targ, using for example attachment Shaggydog or Salla's Escort Ship.
Targ hous loves this card so do I as a targ player. Very combo oriented, key for current maester decks.

Yeah, it's a pretty amazing plot. With Lead Link, it becomes like a one-sided Valar, but better.

Twn2dn, I wonder who we can blame for showing us how silly this has become? ;)
@Shenanigans: Lol, though I hear it's just as bad (and much less consistent with in-house themes/mechanics) with the Robert maester deck.

I actually don't mind the Lead link in Targ, I just hate that it's used so easily by Bara/others...I admit I'm biased though.

Please let me know if I am understanding this card incorrectly. All characters get -1 Str and are discarded from play if their Str is 0 'for the duration of the round?' Or, is this only in effect during the plot phase? If this is the entire round, then this card is going into my Stark deck for some serious Shaggydog rape.
For as long as the plot is you active plot card :)

This card is key in most (for what I know) Targ burn decks and yes, I would absolutely consider playing it in a Stark shaggydog deck. Preferably with some plot switching stuff so that you can surprise with it!

Let's this plot is out and somebody triggers a burn ability with a kill effect included like incinerate or something. Would the character be discarded or killed as it would mee the criteria for both.
The first player chooses what happens when two passive effects conflict.

Thank you. I'm glad you were able to decipher my poor spelling.

Does this plot only affect the characters who were already in play on the plot phase or newly summoned characters as well?

It effects all characters regardless of when they were played.

With this plot If I play Poisoned Wine and character would be discarded,can I move Wine to another char,then to next one,then to next one....Discard,discard...

No. After you attach this to a Character and it gets discarced, poison wine is discared as well immediately.

You don't have a action to use its reaction because it is moribund:discard.

Thanks.So I need Griff(CD).:)
Can I save character from be discarded using Seafarer's Bow attachment, to increase the STR for partisipating charactrs?

Can I save character from be discarded using Seafarer's Bow attachment, to increase the STR for partisipating charactrs?

If you use the bow before plots are revealed, yes. Otherwise no, because the bow's ability is an action, not a response.

Can I save character from be discarded using Seafarer's Bow attachment, to increase the STR for partisipating charactrs?

 

It is important to note that you can use Seafarer's Bow to protect one character by kneeling the character or attachment before the plot is revealed, but both effects of Seafarer's Bow only last until the end of the phase. This means that you can keep the character from being discarded during the Plot Phase, but once the phase ends the character's STR reverts and it is immediately discarded.
