Does anyone think that this plot could/should be used in a HoD deck to counter the threat of A City Besieged? I'm thinking more about low-cost HoD locations (i.e. The Scourge) which potentially face early discard.
Your opponent flips ACB, you flip BS, both players discard a location, both players search a location (in your case a dupe) out of their decks. Obviously when you replay your HoD location it comes back into play without any of the immunities of the agenda and is therefore far more vulnerable, but at least you've got it back in play in the same round it was discarded. Is it worth the risk of giving your opponent this advantage for the sake of getting the HoD location back...?
If you are that worried about A City Besieged, run A Time for Ravens instead and get a Greenseer's Raven. Do it as your first or second plot since you won't win initiative against ACB when it is revealed (I'm assuming a 2 cost location here). You'll have to face 1 turn of intrigue that's all, shouldn't be a biggie if Scourge is your HoD location since Martell are strong there.
Why use this to replace your HoD location after ACB is played instead of using it before to dupe it for the save against ACB? That way, you don't lose the immunity.
Chances are he'll pick a different target when he uses ACB. In the example of a Scourge deck, removing the Brimstone is nasty enough.
And he could always have a way to cancel the dupe, making the argument moot either way. In short, Kennon's original summary pretty much is it.
Oh, undoubtedly. I don't think this plot should be used in an HoD deck, particularly a Joust deck. It's drawbacks are much greater than its rewards in that context. I was just postulating that if you were going to play it, it might be worth playing it early for a dupe instead of late for a replacement.
Novice player question - when you play this, do you get to look through your whole deck and select any location you wish or do you reveal cards until a location pops up and that is the card take?
You can look through your entire deck and take any location you wish, or some other card that meets the criteria for the search effect (such as Riders of the Red Fork).
