I like this in a Clansmen deck. Getting clansman characters into your discard pile is great. Small Council Joff Clansmen deck here I come!

Why is getting clansman characters into your discard pile great?
S you can Crawn son of Calor them into play.
I doubt this will have the kind of impact Much and More had because of that influence cost.

It seems like it'd be good in those Bara decks rolling Melisandre's Scheme (RotK) but I haven't seen much influence there so I doubt it. Small council Joff is Bara/Lann, but both rarely run influence.

This along with Lady Nym's Guard (RotK) both boost Sand Snakes. Once I'm ready to kill the Viper, I've got 3 of this card and 3 Much and More to get No Use For Grief (DB).

"discard the other searched cards" What about
Kraken Tattoo (CoS)? Would this trigger?

My initial reaction is to say that you would indeed get to trigger the Kraken Tattoo after this card is played.
I was wondering if Darkstar (PotS) would trigger, I suppose it is like the Kraken Tattoo (CoS)
Darkstar should trigger as the cards that you're searching are still technically on the top of your deck until they're discarded.

Celric! 1 influence is nothing! This card is simply awesome!
I'm assuming you have to discard the other 4 cards not chosen in the order that they were drawn?

Can this be played if you have less than 5 cards in your deck?
