Enables us to use twice location ability. We can use for example Longship Black Wind (CbtC) to give second attacking character deadly and eventually draw two cards or Longship Iron Victory (KotS) to give participating character +4 STR and draw two cards. Cant be used on Longship "Foamdrinker" (TWot5K) as it's effect is a response. One time usage very situational, don't think will be played widely.

I think this card might be a little undervalued. Since it only specifies a location, you can use it to copy an opponent's location effect. Good targets include:

 

Stark:

Frozen Moat (BtW)

Frozen Outpost (LoW)

White Harbor Dromon (TGF)

Winterfell (FaI)

 

Lannister:

Coin Mint (LotR)?

Lion's Gate (ASoS)

Pentoshi Manor (AHM)

Volantis Inn (AHM)

 

Baratheon:

Bitterbridge (SoW)

Highgarden (TftH) also 1 gold

Huntress (AJE)

Massey's Hook (ASoS)

Salla's Escort Ship (KotS)

Smuggler's Cove (KotS)

The Painted Table (TbC)

 

Martell:

Blood Orange Grove (TCP)

The Scourge (ODG)

 

Targaryen:

Aegon's Hill (TTotH)

Hall of Dragons (AHM) also 1 influence

 

Hitting a player with their own Pentoshi Manner or The Scourge would be great, and if I understand how costs work, using this on Coin Mint to steal all the gold the Lannister player just bought would be amazing.

I dont think it works on coint Mint, since taking the Gold from the Gold Pool is a passive ability, and this location gives you the ability to copy, not to use instead! Thats my opinion!

Yes the ability that puts gold on Coint Mint is a Passive, but I think that Ours for the Taking can copy the Any Phase: ability on Coin Mint that allows a player to move the gold off of Coin Mint and into a player's gold pool. Thus, the Lannister player would use an Action to play Coin Mint, and then the Greyjoy player would use an Action to steal all the gold from it.

I found a thread that confirms my thoughts on Coin Mint and also states that Ours for the Taking can use a location's ability Any Phase instead of just the phase denoted by the location, I hadn't thought of that.

In pretty much every Greyjoy deck I build. Great for doubling up on Scouting Vessels. Very useful with Pyke (FF) against a Baratheon player or just for Asha's (FF) sake. Combining with Great Wyk (AH) could be interesting.

it still works on a kneeled location?

it still works on a kneeled location?

It does, location needs to have Any phase: or appropriate phase ability, and the cost for that location's effect has to be kneeling location.
