Need a rules clarification -
Question: Does this card in fact allow you to move 1 power for each opponent in a melee game? The argument against is that plot cards are revealed simultaneously etc. etc.
Thanks!

I believe it would. There is nothing preventing you from triggering the response to each plot card being revealed.
Strangely enough that is the same discussion we had in a game last night, and we agreed that you can do for each opponent, as the reveal is the trigger point and you come back to the trigger point after completing the action
You can trigger it for every opponent in a Melee game. If the card said "After one or more opponents reveal a plot card..." then you could only trigger it one time.
Okay, thank you for the help.
With this location triggered effect you could for example ruin an opponent running a The Brotherhood Without Banners (RoR) agenda by moving one power from one of his characters into his house card and for doing so ruin most of his character abilities like for example: The Mad Huntsman (ASoSilence) or Beric Dondarrion (IG)
Can someone correct me if i'm wrong.
Thank you.

Yes, this location destroys Brotherhood decks. It's why they have cards like Orphaned Recruit (OSaS) & Lady Stoneheart (MotM)

But the agenda specifically says "If you would claim or move power to your house, you must place it on a Brotherhood character you control." Thus wouldn't the moving power have to be placed on another Brotherhood character?

The agenda targets "you" and that is the controller of the agenda. The person using Eastwatch is not the controller of the agenda and is therefore not limited by the MUST text of the agenda.

Lucky for Brotherhood decks this location really does nothing to other houses, so not to many Bara players include it - unless their meta is over run with wild Berics.
