A Martell weenie that is not an ally? With a nice effect to boot? A couple more like that and icon manipulation is looking good!
This card is intriguing (bad pun intended). Looks very useful, great for defense as well as offense. We'll see if she makes an impact.

Also, looks like Stark is getting an equivalent to this card called Riverlands Hunter; House Tully trait and (without a doubt) a Military icon. I wonder if Baratheon or Targaryen will get a power equivalent? My guess will be Baratheon and it will be an Asshai trait character to make A Noble Cause decks brutally powerful. It seems like Martell is in the best position to capitalize with this new mechanic though, since they can giveth and taketh away icons with the most ease.

I gave her a rusted sword. She started terrorizing my opponent.

That sounds like a bad idea. If she has more than one icon, she won't count her strength either :(

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm dumb.
On defense giving her icons isn't a bad idea, though, since if they have no monocons they still won't win the challenge.

I am considering building an icon manipulation deck using this and Yezzan's Grotesquerie purey to defend challenges.

Combine with Greenblood Vessel for defending with a walking Burning on the Sand.

Or Greenblood Merchant to either give her the icon to attack with, then remove an icon make her back to monocon. (Amusing trick a friend did. Attacked with one, used Brimstone after winning Intrigue to give a second one a Pow icon, then removed her Int icon with a Greenblood Merchant.)

Or combine with Dornish Heritage so even their monocons become bicons and thus do nothing.

With a pair of these out, you can generally get UO as attacker, whilst denying as the defender. Such a solid card in every Martell deck. Don't leave home without her.
