Noob question: is this played before or after claim?

 

I understand that according to the DUCK rule for challenge resolution, you determine winner before claim. So therefore this should be played before? Or maybe the player has a longer window, and can choose to play it before or after?

Your guess is correct, Put to the Sword must be played during the window for responses to the "D" step of challenge resolution.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does "DUCK" stand for?  This is the second place I've seen it this morning.

Thanks!

Declare Winner

Unopposed

Claim

Keywords

 

Handy way to remember the order of the steps.

I also find it useful to add this information:

 

Declare winner

(reactions to winning, or to winning by a certain amount of strength. Reactions to losing.)

Unopposed

(Reactions to winning/losing unopposed. Reactions to claiming the power for unopposed)

Claim

(Reactions to whatever the claim was: characters dying, discarding cards, winning/losing power)

Keywords

(Reactions to keywords: claiming power for renown, discarding cards for pillage, etc.)

 

I know it might seem obvious to many, but I think it's helpful to point it out.

Clarification: Reactions to winning unopposed are in step D, determine winner. The str/win/opposed status of the challenge is set here.

Only a reaction to gaining bonus power would happen in U (unopposed). None currently exist.

Ok thanks for that, didn't know it. 

Awesome, thanks!

Seeing the above, does that mean that, if I put the (eventual, only) defending character to the sword as a reaction to the "D" phase, I will get the unopposed for it?

No. You determine if the challange goes unopposed or not in the Declare the winner step, before reactions to winning or losing can be triggered (D). After that, you get to resolve said reactions, but they can't alter the resolution of the challange (how many strenght did you win/lose for, who won/lost, if it was unopposed or not, etc.).
