City of Shadows

Type: Agenda House: Neutral
Game Text:

You may ignore the "House X only" deckbuilding restriction on any card with the Shadow crest. Whenever you bring any card with a "House X only" restriction that does not match your House card out of Shadows, pay 1 additional gold. If you do not have any cards in Shadows, you cannot claim power for unopposed challenges.

how does this work. do I need to pay 3 additional gold for an out out of house, house x only card or just the one? Would it still be the normal 2 gold penatly for normal out of house from the shadows.

The out of house penalty applies only when playing cards out of hand [that's why all non-neutral shadow cards have "House X only"]. So you only pay 1 additional gold when coming out of shadow. Although as far as I remember this does not apply for character abilities like "Challenges: Pay the rest of the cost to bring card out of shadows..." [like Meera Reed (TftH)], in that case you just pay the normal unmodified cost [I'm not 100% sure, so I could use some confirmation on that part].

You would always pay the additional cost to bring a card out of shadows. Since Meera says to pay the cost to bring her out of shadows, and the agenda specifies the extra gold to bring her out of shadows, she would still be three cost (in my opinion). I've been known to be flat wrong, though

Out-of-house gold penalty of 2 gold applies when marshalling (playing from hand during marshalling phase). Bringing out from shadows is not marshalling and does not have an out-of-house penalty. That's why, as Raven said, shadows cards are restricted to their houses.

This agenda increases the card's cost to bring out of shadows by a total of 1 (and 2 to put the card into shadows during marshalling).

sounds good, thanks for the clarification!
