Playing an opponents card as if it were in my hand means their characters can come into play under my control, right?
Does this get around Loyal?
mjgoins, yes if on an opponents deck, then opponents cards you played would come out under your control, including their characters.
GrahamM, no it doesn't get around Loyal. There is an explicit ruling on the in the 4.2 FAQ
Btw, my group found the ruling unexpected.
The core rules presents them as essentially unrelated, much like steadfast, but the FAQ tells us that anything that grants a resource match, by default grants a loyal match, which I think is the bit my group looked at when ruling locally. But this card doesn't actually grant a resource match, so in hindsight that paragraph lacks relevance.
Can I play a charater except in my operations phase through this triggered effect?
I applaud Tom Capor on the design here. This might be the most versatile card in the game. It can improve any deck, and there's really no wrong way to use it.
I like it best to replace cards like Prism of Many View and Pocket Telescope. Those cards were always good for previewing and replacing the top card of the deck, but I always hated losing a card to the bottom of the deck or discard pile to do so. With Attache, I get to PLAY the card off the top of my deck, and that's an infinitely preferable option most of the time. And if I peek the top card of my deck and decide I'm fine discarding it to a De Vermis Mysteriis or Rite of the Silver Key, that's always an option too.
This is the ultimate companion for decks that want to control the top card of the deck.
