Not exactly awesome, but it could deliver a decent surprise. Worth having in a deck that leverages Tactics.
The best thing about this card is the flavor text....
If you want an unrestricted jumper, they're getting scarce.
Too expensive and too restrictive. Compare it to 'Night Class': http://www.cardgamed...y_52_117416.jpg
It's less expensive and less restrictive. The subtype (Tactics) might help to make it more playable, though.
Can you pay the cost with Claret Knight? I thought he was immune to triggered effects?
Yeah, I don't think that works.
I could be wrong, but in past rulings it's seemed to me that he is immune to anything that happens as part of a triggered effect. Best ask Damon for a definitive answer though.
Exhausting Claret Knight will definitely work. It's a cost, not an effect. Otherwise you couldn't exhaust him to commit to a story, either!
Exhausting to commit to stories is a framework action, not a triggered effect. I'm still uncertain about this. Time to email FFG I guess.
You guys may be right, my grasp of the rules is dodgy at best. I emailed FFG and I'm awaiting their response.
EDIT: Confirmed by Damon that you can pay card costs with Claret Knight.
