Is it me, or is this just e'fing silly? 2 armies in play? Boing! 2 lords? Boing! ...and it's not even limited by attachments :( awesome
Played this card the other night and bounced a maester with 6 chains it was pretty sweet.

This card is so OP its crazy, but i guess they wanted Lannister to have some character bounce

really excels when you play themed decks
This card is pretty damn crazy. It's definitely on my list of cards to watch out. So far it doesn't seem to be THAT overpowered, but I haven't seen more than one or two people play it.
Looks pretty solid to me. A bit situational of course, but has some serious card and gold advantage. And it's not really unusual that players play many cards of the same trait any way, even if it's not a themed deck, so should be useful in most scenarios. If I read it right, I can also play, say two allies, and then bounce an opponent's ally. Kinda ruins the nedliness :P

i have seen a lannister player use it to kick back
Northern Cavalry Flank (SA) and
Melisandre (RotO) in the same Marshalling phase now granted its not terribly overpowered and im not calling for it to be restricted i just think its by far one of the best events i have seen this chapter pack

Sorry meant to say this cycle
I'm not seeing the beauty. If the character has duplicates, only one dupilcate does to the top of the deck, right?
I believe the duplicate would be discarded, but yeah, it wouldn't get rid 'cause it doesn't have "cannot be saved" (like, say, Search and Detain (HtS)). That said it's still a very powerful card, because it disrupts your opponent's play, can drop attachments (and if you're really, really desperate you can bounce one of your own cards to the top of your deck to drop a negative attachment, such as a character agenda), and provides a good card advantage as that's half of the opponent's draw going towards having a card in hand they already had in play before. I've used this to bounce Melisandre to the top of my opponent's deck 3 turns in a row, which is highly satisfying :P.

Also of note that the person who has their card bounced doesn't have to be the player playing the second trait card in the first place, so for example if your opponent has a troublesome lord out, you have one out and play a second, you can bounce their lord back. I've used the card in this fashion in a Lanni Maester deck to some nice effect.

In short, really nice card.

I'm not seeing the beauty. If the character has duplicates, only one dupilcate does to the top of the deck, right?

The duplicate would get discarded to save the character from leaving play. However, most characters don't have duplicates, so the card is still very powerful. It not only makes you waste resources, it also lessens your draw since you have to redraw the card next turn.

this card is so annoying for you if your redrawing either a useless weenie or a very expensive character you have already paid for, really a very good event card for Lannsiter

Dont duplicates have the gained text "discard to save attached character from being killed or discarded"? this card neither kills nor discards, it removes from play.

The FAQ says a duplicate can save a card from any effect that makes it leave play.

Oh okay thank you
Plus, not the duplicate gains the text, but the card the duplicate is attached to. Hence, a dupe save is a character ability (or location/attachment ability, if the dupe's on one of those card types).

Does It work on a char that Comes out from shadows? ?

I would imagine that you could not play A House Divided when your opponent brings something out of the shadows because A House Divided specifies that the card has to be "played" which is the term used for marshaling in the standard fashion. Bringing something out of the shadows is considered to be "putting into play".
