Eyrie, Balon - Balon, Eyrie. Nice to meet you. (*soo lucking forward to this*)

Hm. This is an activated effect, right? Like it can't be blanked out by Nightmares after I activated it?

... or by removing the location from play?

Interesting that they chose to release an alt art version of this card in the pack, we already have so many of these I actually like this art better ironically.

Do you mean the pack comes with 61 cards? Or is one of the normal ones substituted by the alt art?

How does The Eyrie interact with: "Wildfire Assault" and also "Fallen From Favor"

Wildfire Assault will not be able to kill a character that "cannot be killed".  You are not required to choose this character as one that is not killed by Wildfire Assault.

Fallen from Favor sacrifices a character.  It doesn't kill them.  So, Fallen from Favor does not interact with The Eyrie at all.

True. And if you did use The Eyrie at the start of the plot phase (before they are revealed), you can choose your unkillable char as one you would kill. So you keep 4 chars.

Fallen from Favor: in general, as far as I know, you can't choose a char to "pay" for an effect if he can't be chosen at all. So if you try to kill a char that can't be killed you haven't payed the 'cost' of the effect at all. (Edit: At least that is true for sacrifice effects, cause they can't be saved. I guess you could save a char from beeing killed with a save effect, if it would say "kill a character you control" - but if you have to kill it to pay for an effect, then the effect wouldn't trigger cause the cost is not payed, right... Not entirely sure right now)

Be careful with the wording here.  While you will keep 4 characters in this case its NOT because you chose an unkillable character.  With wildfire you are choosing up to 3 characters to not kill, then wildfire kills the rest but fails to kill an unkillable character.  Had wildfire said choose and kill all but 3 characters, you would not be allowed to choose an unkillable character so it would be one of the 3 remaining.

yeah, sry, that's what I meant, of course.

How does this interact with Tears? (I know I'm kind of double posting here =\)

Doesn't work vs Tears - see the rules reference under Lasting Effects - 'until the end of the phase' effects will expire just before 'at the end of the phase' effects trigger.

So lets say you're playing with Starks (or any family, just using them for reference) and have Ned*With a duplicate* and Rob in play. You kneel the Eyrie to prevent Ned from being killed... Then you lose a military challenge.

A duplicate (Please correct me if I'm wrong) is like an Interrupt, being discarded when the character it's on would be killed. 

My question is since Ned cannot be in the situation to even be chosen for claim(killed) due to the Eyrie, would you be forced to kill off another character in play--In this case, Rob.(EDIT: And not attempt to discard Ned's duplicate*) 

That's a good question. I found this discussion on this very subject for this very card:
http://www.cardgamed...military-claim/
The best answer was that a character that cannot be killed cannot be chosen for military claim, and therefore a different character must be chosen if possible.

EDIT: I completely forgot about the part of your question which you emphasized (duplicate), and is not covered by the discussion I linked. I still believe you would have to pick another character since you still wouldn't be able to choose Ned (the unkillable character) in the first place.

This card can block every ability which requires you to sacrifice a character with wording: ...sacrifice character to do X...

Like Roose Bolton f.e. if opponent is playing him, I can effectively stop his ability from triggering with Eyrie.

Also it can be used to mark opponents weenies so they can't be target of MIL claim and opponent would have to choose other target as a MIL claim.

This is incorrect. Sacrifice is not kill, it's discard.

Yes. my mistake. So in that case Eyrie can at least protect 1 character against Roose Bolton...
