You still have to pay the printed cost though right, if its a character or if it otherwise states that you have to pay a cost?

I assume the (1) out-of house penalty and (2) the "House only" restriction do still apply since only the "put into play" bypasses all restrictions?

House-only is a deckbuilding restriction. So you can play any card in this case until it's not from your deck.

Has anyone had any success with this card? After House of Dreams was released I keep looking at this card but I'm really not sure.

If Greyjoy had more draw this would be better (as it gives you the option of playing a card that doesn't count towards draw cap). However, since Greyjoy is rarely, if ever, hitting draw cap a location that gives draw is just going to be better than this every time.

exactly! I think I would rather pay 4 for Golden Tooth Mines (Core) than 5 for this. House of Dreams won't help much - you can't really build around this card..

Try it, and report back

Sounds like a lot of fun in theory!

must I pay the gold penality in order to play card from one'opponent discard pile?

Vincu

Yes. But it works well with events.

Does its ability work if I had multi-affilation cards?

Yes, so long as one of those affiliations is Greyjoy.

Why does it state "top card of one opponent's discard pile" when it is also (Limit once per round.)? Do you have to choose one opponent's discard pile to pull from when this comes into play? Otherwise, wouldn't "an opponent" be more appropriate, since you would pick an opponent, and then you would hit the limit of once per round?

Or is this just more terrible templating from FFG?

Really, one and an are functionally the same there. It is just pointing out that you can't do it to each opponent once per round.

How does a death resolve if I play a character from a opponents discard pile during marshalling (after paying OOH) who then dies next phase as claim for a military challenge? Does that character go to my dead pile or my opponents? Since it was assumed to have come 'from my hand' and since I payed the gold price for the character, doesn't that give preference to my dead pile over that of my opponent?

When a card goes to an out of play area, it goes to the card owner's out of play area.

See 3.31 in the FAQ.
