I admit I'm still confused by the Winterfell discussion. So: if I cancel Roose with Treachery, is he still sacrificed or not?

Sacrifice is a cost, Treachery cancels only the effect. So yes he is sacrificed and treachery cancels his kill effect.

Good. So the magic word here is 'then'. If Rose would be "Sacrifice Roose Bolton,then kill each of those characters.", then treachery would result in Roose not being sacrificed, correct?

The magic word here is " to ". "Do X to do Y" is the format in which costs are written, and costs (X) are paid in full before effects (Y) initiate.

 

Effects could be worded in many ways:

- Sacrifice Roose. Then, kill...

- Sacrifice Roose. Kill...

- Sacrifice Roose and kill...

These would all be prevented by Treachery.

These would all be prevented by Treachery.

 

And Roose will be sacrificed.

 

Btw Rules Reference specifically singles out the word "Then" so maybe that was the reasoning of Palpa to bring it out. Maybe a tip for next FAQ...

With the current wording, Roose will be sacrificed before Treachery can even be played, yes. With any of my suggested wordings, he wouldn't be sacrificed if his ability would get cancelled.

 

I doubt FFG will add this to the FAQ. They only add issues that are not clear enough from reading the RRG. This matter is non-ambiguous.
