Too expensive and too restrictive. Designed for Dothraki deck where we can easily fullfil both activation conditions. However ability comparing to costs is too weak. Location for 3 gold should really have strong ability like hills for example. They can win game for us this card can't even give us solid advantage in the game.

Tell me, drawing cards, or getting power why doesn't mean advantage?
In dothraki decks you dont need gold, they are cheap, so it almost doesn't matter what is the cost of this card. (almost) Military challenge isn't an issue in a pure dothraki theme, and you need the discarding ability. With dothraki you'll swarm the table, and a Valar might end your game, and 'Narrow escape' only helps you if your opponent has no cards in hand. Great synergy with Rakharo, and with correct plot focus on mil challenge.

Cost does matter always. 3 gold spend only for location wich can help us to win if we have field advantage, but will not help us to cover if our opponent is winning. Spending 3 gold for location means that you can't buy rokharo for example, and you have no presence. Keep in mind a lot of location hate in game. Look to all 3 dragon locations for example, they cost one gold and gave renown, +2 STR and stand or immunity and card draw. I mean it is similar bonus for dragon as this caerd gives dothraki. Andcost is 3 times lower. So you can have for the same gold following: +2 STR, immunity, renown, stand, renown and card draw. Is it comparable at all?

The easiest way to see VD's fault is to compare its effect with Aegon's Hill (TTotH). The latter costs the same but provides guaranteed card advantage and you can see your opponent's hand. The other problem with VD is that it only keys on attack. For 3 gold I would expect some badly needed defensive love which is the major fault of any Dothraki centered deck. They're frightening on the attack but have no special advantage on defense aside fromHorseback Archers (QoD).

Further, you rarely need the card draw from it. Jhogo (OSaS) should be the only card draw you need.
