Can you only activate his Any Phase ability when he is in play (i.e. not when he is in the dead or discard piles)?
If so, are there any times when his ability would be useful?
You can only trigger this ability when he is in play and not from your dead or discard pile as I understand it. However it is useful to save him from dying during a Valar turn. There are also some responses that trigger when a character leaves play so this is a good way to activate those responses without really losing much.
But this just raised a question for me to others with more experience in the rules. Can you choose Ghost to satisfy a military claim and then while he is moribund trigger his ability and still have the military claim satisfied?
Ghost's ability would be much more useful as a 'response' (compare him to Ser Davos Seaworth CS), but can still find its uses. You just have to use it beforehand. Apart from what The Iron Captain mentioned, you can bounce him for instance to remove attachments, manipulate the number of characters in play, escape sudden 'deadly' in 1 on 1 situation, you could also kneel him to pay for an effect, then bounce and play him anew.
Not really impressive, though...
And no, you cannot change the destination of a moribund card, unless specifically told by a save/cancel effect (again, compare to Ser Onion). You can't trick death
Ok, that is what I thought. He is a no attachments card though so you don't really need to bounce him to get of them.
Oh, missed that one. Let's pretend I described a hypothetical use for such an ability in general xD
Pretty useful to help Meera Reed evade a valar.
