Has anyone ever tried to make a challenge denial deck using this version of Catelyn? The idea would be to use her and King Robert's Host to lock out intrigue and power challenges, and then since it's Stark, just utterly dominate on military icons. This could be played over Alliance, making it easier to get everyone out, and Jeyne Westerling can be used to grab any of the Bara kings and you go to town on them.

Nice Idea!
I don´t think King Robert's Host is much needed to lockk out power challenges in a Stark Deck but anyway it´s not that easy to get her going. You need
1) to make it winter: Plot: A Time for Ravens (ACoS) -->White Raven (TWoW) OR Crown of Winter (LoW)
2) a card in the shadows:Plenty of possibilities which depend on your deck built: The Red Keep (TftRK), Arya Stark (CoS), Meera Reed (TftH), Ser Mandon Moore (TBoBB)
3) her: Plot: Summoning Season (Core) OR Jeyne Westerling (ASoS)
I've been thinking about it too. Using Storm Dancer as a major draw engine. Haven't really tried to put a deck together do, but if you do, please share it and I'd love to give my input on it :)
I really don't get why this version of Catelyn doesn't have 'House Tully' trait. The other two obviously do have it.

Can characters with "immume to character abilities" like renly or red viper, still do intrigues around this,i'd say know because it says opponents not characters but would like to know the rules on that

Catelyn's ability is targeting the opponent, not the character, so immune characters still cannot make intrigue challenges.

Just because I'm obligated to point this out every time it comes up:

 

Caitlin's ability does not "target" the opponent. It doesn't "target" anything. An ability only has a target if it uses the word "choose" to select the thing it acts on.

 

Other than that templating technicality, Lauren's answer is 100% correct. Caitlin's ability directly affects opposing players, not their characters, so any immunity on the characters doesn't help. So the player would need to be immune to character abilities in order for them to ignore her ability.

 

Note that It's always important to pay close attention to how things are worded when determining when immunity applies. Even though the end results are pretty much the same as, "Opponent's cannot declare Intrigue challenges against you," if Catelyn said something like, "Opponent's characters cannot be declared as attackers against you in Intrigue challenges" instead, then her ability would be directly affecting the characters, and their immunity would matter. 

Okay thanks guys, i thought that was how it works, thats helped clear it up for me
