Would you lose the value of this card if played during setup?
Would you lose the value of this card during setup?

Yeah, you would.  The FAQ defines the word "play" as:

 

Character, Location, and Attachment cards are “played” from the hand during the marshalling phase, by taking a player action and paying their gold cost.
 
Thus, revealing Zollo in setup would not trigger his Response as he wasn't "played".  On top of that, no-one has any gold in their gold pool until the "Count Income" step in Marshalling, so there wouldn't be much point in dropping him in setup.

Use Zollo's effect if you want to destroy a friendship.

This would destroy the Redwyne Straights + Knights of the Hollow Hill combo.

It's pretty much pointless to try it after HH errata eitherway

What was it? Can't find it.

KotHH now counts as five cards at your command I think

Just to check the timing of this, each player counts income when they become the active player in the Marshalling phase, correct? So the only time you could steal gold with him is if they have any gold left over after their marshalling and you go second?

There are a few ways of getting gold before marshalling, but generally, yes, that's the case.

Even without his ability he's a 1 gold bicon with 2 str.  Always worth considering.  Almost certain to include in a Dothraki deck.

Good point. I maybe prefer the Targ Dothraki 2 drops but a one-of could sneak into my Dothraki build. And he does do a nice job of holding off dominance and shadows pop-outs.

Yeah, taking the 1 gold a Stark opponent saved to get meera out of shadows is worth the price of admission alone!

He's also hilarious in melee, when someone picks the Master of Coin

Why? Master of Coin doesn't get his/her extra gold until he/she counts in come in the Marshaling phase. Am I missing something? Why is that any funnier than normal? Or is it just particularly ironic?

Wow. We were totally playing that wrong, and looking through the manual, I'm not even sure how we made the mistake. We were also drawing with Master of Laws at the same time. Whoops.
