with all the ally, traitor ,mercenary hate this card really is more of a hinderance than a help imo
I agree. So many cards that can hurt whomever has this attached, and that is without looking at specific houses. A friend uses this to make Daenerys Targaryen (QoD) a Dragon, so she can go in with her children for extra damage. If he does try it on me, I will punish him for it ;)

While there are cards for ally hate, how often do you really see them played? Other than oakheart.
Personally, I use Varys (SaS) in every deck I build. Plus, A House Divided (WLL) jumped up in its usefullness after helping me get to the semi-final in a regional last weekend.

But, it isn't just Ally hate to worry about. If they have a Refugee, then Dissension (QoD) gives a nice two-for-one return.

Although, I am now thinking about this card from a different perspective, playing it on an opponent's character and then using the assorted hate to get rid of them, such as Daario Naharis (WLL) or Ser Jorah Mormont (WLL) to discard them.
Would I be correct in that that the attachment on the character is discarded BEFORE Step 5 when Responses are played, so they could play such a character, discard their character with the Harp, and then use the Response from Lady Daenerys's Chambers (Core) to get the attachment back to hand?
Jorah mormons and Daario are probably in every single Targ deck right now. Varys and Oakhart are good too. And the Lannister event A House Divided is ridiculously good. So I'd say there's a lot of trait hate right now.
@NuFenix - I'm not sure I follow. LDC can only be triggered when a Targ character is played (not put into play), so it would only be triggered (typically) during the Marshaling phase.

The Harp would be placed in your discard pile after you discarded their character by giving it the trait you needed them to have. Then, next Marshaling phase, when you play a character of at least the printed gold cost of the Harp, then, yes, you could choose to put the Harp back into your hand.

He is saying, during his marshall, if he puts RH onto an opponent's character, then plays Daario (or Jorah). Since passives trigger first, he would get to discard the opponent's character with the necessary trait.

The question of timing is when does the attachment physically leave play? Does the attachement leave play before or after the responses window?

Either way I can safely say that after the character (and attachment) are discarded, you could get RH back after playing another character during that same marshalling and using LDC's response.
That is indeed what I am suggesting slothgodfather. The reason for timing is mainly to determine if I would need to play a character afterwards to get the attachment back, or not.

Either way, what do you think of using the Harp offensively and using it with cards such as Daario, Jorah, Varys or Dissension, for character removal without requiring burn?

I think with LDC's response to get the attachment back it's a pretty interesting way of getting rid of a character. Use a few effects to bounce those guys back into hand to repeat the process could be interesting also.
Unburnt (QoD) would be my main way of returning them. Let them die to claim, return to hand instead, and can get Unburnt back later as well.

That would create a nice cycle.

If I attach RH to Viserys Targaryen (tCP) does it mean he (now with the raven trait) can discard raven attachments (immune to non-raven cards)?

Yes, he would be able to discard the White or Black Ravens. As you note, if Viserys gains the Raven trait, he is no longer a "non-raven card," so immunity to "non-raven cards" would no longer block him.
