I loved this card from CCG. 2for1 with intrigue and learned crest. Gives brotherhood or any deck which needs such crest cheap character. In brotherhood deck it gives +1 STR increase for each Brotherhood character. The most important is however triggered ability. We can look into our opponent hand before challanges phase will start. It gives us information what we can expect plus we can get rid of the biggest thread. Amazing ability which probably guarantee autoinlude of this card in almost every deck. It's a little bit weaker than in CCG version but the main ability was not change.

I used this against a friend recently to see what I thought of it - Wow this card is handy. It isn't too pricey, and whilst it is an Ally, there are so many ut there, and not that many cards that really punish being an Ally. Getting to know what my opponent has in their hand, and discard the card that will bother me the most is so good. Sure they get to replace it, but odds are they won't get a better card, or nothing if they have already hit their draw cap.

Yea I have trouble not including him in my decks either. The simple power of seeing what is in your opponents hand is just too good to pass up. It really messes with an opponents head when you truly know what is in their hand. The discard part is just icing on the cake!

The hidden beauty of this is card advantage. You have the option of selecting yourself and ditching a dead card for a shiny new one.

Or if your hand happens to be empty you can ditch dead air for a shiny new card.

Or if you happen to have Brimstone out, you can ditch a card from your opponent's hand and trigger brimstone. And if you have Brimstone + Seal of the Crown . . . whoa buddy!

So, it's jack-be-lucky that works with an opponent?

There are some differences in the ability, such as with Jack, you have to have a card to discard in order to draw.  That is not required for GoHH.  Also, since Ghost says "a player's hand", it is not restricted to yourself or to opponent's.  So if you have a reason for wanting a card in the discard pile (or to discard Darkstar into play) then you can choose yourself.
