Challengers!
Do flag possession and flag loss effects still work on a card covered by other cards?
The rulebook's Effects section says when flag effects apply and in what order they resolve.

No. Only the top card of a stack holds the flag, and its flag effects trigger only at the moment the flag is gained or lost. Flag loss effects resolve before the possession effects of the new flag holder.
