Forms of the Ether

Should read: “Action: Choose a card
attached to a domain as a resource.
Put that card into its owner’s hand
and attach Forms of the Ether to that
domain (counts as a [Shub] resource).”

Can I use Forms of the Ether (Ancient
Relics F39) to choose my opponent’s
resource and put it to my hand? Does
my Forms of the Ether attach to his
domain or my domain?

Forms of the Ether “Action: Choose a
card attached to a domain as a resource.
Put that card into its owner’s hand
and attach Forms of the Ether to that
domain (counts as a > resource).” will
allow you to choose a card attached to
an opponent’s domain. However, that
card will go to its owners hand since
the card is not explicit that it targets
an opponent’s card and brings it your
hand (which is how it would need to
be phrased to invoke the Golden Rule).
Because the card does explicitly state
that Forms of the Ether attaches to the
same domain as the previous card it
will attach itself to that domain, the
same way a card that says “attach to an
opponent’s discard pile” would allow
a card you own to attach itself to their
discard pile.

This card seems pretty weak now with

bayou-shaman around: http://www.cardgamed...ou-shaman-r1466

and

Favor-of-eshu: http://www.cardgamed...r-of-eshu-r1490

This card doesn't cost you card advantage, which arguably the other two cards mentioned do. With this one you get to replace this card with the best card you have resourced so far (at a modest cost). The Bayou shaman also lets you retrieve a resourced card, but it goes to the top of your deck, so you are one card worse off.

Favor of Eshu is trickier to evaluate. On the surface you lose a card when you put the attachment down and break even each time you give up a resourced card to gain a playing card. Also playing cards from your resources might just be slowing you down. But Shub sometimes has cards resourced on domains that it doesn't really need resourced (eg from Nug). Here you might put Eshu on your 2nd/3rd domain to recover some of those cards, making it more card-positive.

I like this card relative to Eshu, and for doing what it does, it is a better effect than the shaman had (but the shaman is also a passable -cost character and often you would just use it as such - and having that flexibility is handy).

My biggest problem with this card is that it's in my "automatically resource if drawn early" basket, and my shub deck already has too many of those.
