Looking forward to using this with Kings Landing (SaS) to draw alot of cards or with King Robert's Hammer (TBoBB) to do some strategic standing.

Thre are some others like Massey's Hook (ASoSilence) or
Smuggler's Cove (KotStorm). Bad condition treat. I think this card is one of many which are not included in decks due to limited space. Attachments generally have not many slots in decks and card on it's own does nothing. Effect too weak to build deck around it or at least give it some support.

Is King's Robert hammer weak? Is Massey's Hook weak? Is Marya seaworth weak? Is vigilant weak? Of course we play in different styles, and thats the wonder of this game. I've made a deck using Lords and Ser Guyard Morrigan, and focusing on power challenges. After almost 30 games it is still undefeated. And this card is one of the key cards in the deck. Everyone stands. 8))

Throw it on the new knights tourney grounds card thing for getting dupes back.

Did I say they are weak. Of course they don't. But they are uniques, to get them you must add more copies, do you still have place for attachments to location where there is so many location hate and so many good events to add. Is it worth to waste 2-3 slots for support card for unique 2-3 locations? I mean I generally against two cards combo. Probabilty to get them both is not high and second on its own does nothing. Anyway I didn't test this as I don't play bara. If it works for you that maybe is worth to give it a try.

If you use this with House Umber Berserkers (BoRF) and Robb Stark (Core) and The House of Black and White (tHoBaW) in an Alliance Deck or whatever - if you set off HUBs to kneel THoBaW in Marshaling, and then win a Military challenge with Robb, can you use the effect twice? (once for HUB, once for Robb effects)

What if the challenge in which Rob participates involves Deadly, and that kills a character - can you set it off 3 times?

I've been wondering if I could try to make a silly Shagga Deck with this sort of theme.

Vigilant only stands the attached location once per challenge.

So your first example works. The Berserker's kill allows you to trigger the House's response. The when you win the mil challenge with Robb, the House stands for Vigilant and Robb's response allows you to trigger the House.

If deadly is also involved then the House will trigger for either deadly or Robb's effect, but will already be knelt so you can't trigger it for the other one.

Thanks - I totally forgot that I was only winning one challenge in my example - so if I went into the military attack with THOBAW standing - would I then be able to set it off with both Deadly, and then Robb?

I guess what I'm worried about is if there is no chance for Vigilant to happen between Deadly and the Response, though now that I think about it - would it go:

Challenge won -> Process keywords/claim (inc. Vigilant, Deadly) -> Responses?

If so - I think it's time to make a deck to test this puppy out!

Even if you go into the challenge with the House standing, while both Deadly and Robb can trigger it, the House will already be knelt for one of them. The opportunity to stand for Vigilant will have passed by the time you start to trigger responses.

Simplified flow would be:

Challenge won
Vigilant and deadly go off(first player picks order)
Regular responses. Either kneel the House as response to deadly's kill, and then Robb's response(at which point the House is already knelt). Or use Robb's response, and then kneel the House for either Deadly or Robb, but the House will be knelt for the one you didn't pick.

Ah okay, just as I feared - thanks a bunch though!

That might actually open up some choices as deadly is a lot easier to get than Robb (though he could always be replaced with other challenge-based kill effects from Baratheon cards).

I'll still see how it goes :D
