If you kneel Varys and then you put him into shadows... would he stand during the stand phase?

No, but he wouldn't be kneeling. He would simply be in shadows. There is no kneeling or standing in shadows since it is not "in play." It's like he is in your hand. There are no standing or kneeling cards in your hand.

This is the best Varys in the game. I love this card.

For melee it deserves 5 for such strong ability no doubts. 4for4 stealth and bicons are solid stats. Additionally for 2 gold redirection ability. Treat Ally is not big drawback as we can keep him in Shadow until needed and then use immediately.

Looks like a push for making Lanni more popular in Melee.... and it's kinda working on me

How does this card work in a 2v2 format? Is the word "eligible" going to make it not work, or can you make your opponents attack each other?

You could simply read it that it has to be an "eligible opponent" for the person that is currently active player and attacking. Read that way it, he can't be used to redirect to their teammate because they are not an "eligible opponent".

Yeah, that's what I expected. Oh well, would've been fun
