Summoning Season (Core) or Building Season (Core).
Response+draw?
Does this event work against an affect that causes someone to search only the top X cards of their deck (like family duty honour, Maester Luwin etc) as this says after an opponent searches his deck and reveal then trigger while the other effects are only searching to top x cards
According to the FAQ, searching the top 5 cards of your deck does not count as searching your entire deck.
Very specific yet interesting circumstance came up with this card the other day and neither of us knew the right answer: I was playing this in an experimental deck where you play Summoning Season/Building Season then play Weasel's Way. I had already done this with Building Season, so when I played Summoning my opponent knew it was coming and chose Ser Jorah Mormont (The Kingsguard) to counter me.
The question arose, though - is discarding a card that has been revealed the same as discarding it from your hand? I played it upon his immediate reveal, so TECHNICALLY it never went to his hand before I played Weasel's Way. Anyone have any input on this? Is there a certified "revealed position" as opposed to "being in hand"?
Actually, it did go to his hand since the effect has to resolve completely before any responses can occur. Unless you use a save/cancel response, the full effect happens and resolves. Then passives occur that are applicable to the effect, then responses can be played to respond to any effect that has resolved. Since the search effect already fully resolved by the time you can play TWW, Ser Jorah is already in your opponent's hand.
Technically the card is not "discarded" from their hand. It's "placed in the discard pile". The wording is very specific.
Ser Jorah Mormont and Darkstar won't be avoiding the discard pile based on this specific wording.
This answer is going to make everyone mad...
I love it.
Good catch, thanks!
haha that is funny i can see someone being a **** with this at melee.
"wanna trade a character for a charcter"
"sure"
after search
"yea we are going to discard that guy you got" haha
It's hilarious seeing people's reaction to this in joust. Usually when you flip those plots over they snicker and prepare to play against a bad deck or ask you if you grabbed your melee deck by accident - then they suddenly lose that smirk as soon as you play TWW and realize the card they wanted most is now in their discard while yours is in hand.
