This is possibly one of the worst cards ever printed. A challenge loss condition on top of getting less cards than you started with on top of your opponent getting to see your entire new hand. No synergy with Darkstar, and if they cancel it you might as well concede the game. That it's on the Martell motto event with decent art makes it even more painful.
It doesn't even feel particularly thematic. Losing a challenge for a chance to hurt yourself further has nothing to do with patience or revenge. I guess it's like poisoning yourself? This could give you two additional cards and drop the challenge loss restriction, and it still wouldn't be worth the risk of cancel.
Darkstar (PotS) is there anything else to combo this with?
The Prince's Plans (TIoR)
...?
EDIT - Nevermind, that card only reveals top of opponents' decks
Noyne (THoBaW)
Nope. All I could think of was a deck crammed with nothing but draw and some uber-combo it wants to reach. And unlike stuff like Much and More it actually reduces your hand size, and if they cancel it the games over.
PLOT: Play this event only if no player has revealed a plot card (cannot be cancelled). After your opponent has revealed 8 or more plot cards, claim 10 power for your house card, then if you do not win before the next draw phase shuffle all Martell cards in play back into their owners deck. You may also choose to shuffle your hand, of at least one card, back into your deck at that time, then reveal the same number of cards from your deck that was returned to your deck and add them to your hand. (Place this card next to your plot deck until the effect completely resolves.)
btw, how do you add "spoiler" tags to something?
Regardless of what the card could be however, it is what it is, and unless there are some really strange cards in the future I think this card is less playable than a crossroads.
"Plot" to the beginning of the action. That way it is in plot phase, before the player has revealed a plot that round.

You immediately lose the game. Why are you still playing? Seriously. Get a clue.
"House Martell only.
Response: After you lose a challenge by 4 or more total STR, discard your hand of at least 1 card to choose an opponent. That opponent must discard their entire hand, if able. Reveal the same number of cards discarded from your opponent's hand from the top of your deck, and put them into your hand."

Response: After you lose a challenge by 4 or more total STR, discard your handof at least 1 card. You may then put up to X cards from your discard pile into your hand, where X was the number of cards you discarded.
I'd say the risk of being cancelled, silght card disadvantage, and condition of losing ensures this isn't op, but still a very nice effect - princes plans without the influence and with choice of cards.
Red Vengeance (PotS) and The Viper's Rage (TftRK). Is it possible to then play both cards?
