im out of touch with the rule on attachments and control, does this give you one of your ops characters for one turn? or for the rest of the game?
You only have control whilst this is attached to their character. So when it is discarded at the end of Dominance, they get their character back.
wow, this card is pants then, can get the same effect permanently alot easier and cheaper

Ummm what cards are you running? Not trying to sound mean but I don't see what card you could be talking about that does same effect cheaper and easier. Only one is Enslaved or Seductive Promise but both are more conditional.

There are save/cancels/immunities to consider with Seductive Promise. This just grabs anybody.
"Why would you play The Red Queen's Faithful (CD); it doesn't actually help you win the game?"

Hopefully now we won't have to hear any more of that jive.

Hi all, I may be a house baratheon player, but I am afraid that this card imbalances the game in favour of House Baratheon. Although it may be a good thing, but I seek fairness in all cards. No more power rushing with renown characters against House Baratheon? Increase market value of Melisandre (core)? I feel uneasy with this card. Is it my own opinion? or does it reflect the feelings of others?

Can Davos save this from being discarded and immediately attach it to another character which you will then control till the next dominance phase?

Oh man, that would be a nightmare combo! Thankfully for the balance of the game, no. There is no response window at the end of the Dominance Phase (or any other phase) for Davos to trigger his ability. From the FAQ:

(2.6) End of the Phase
Each end-of-the-phase Framework Action Window should be played without step two (Save/Cancel) and without step five (Responses). No triggered effects can be played after the initiation of the end of the phase.
okay so what happens if after you took the character you opponent filled their field? Does the character get discarded or do you keep it or what?

??. What does filled their field mean? Im going to assume that it means play a 2nd copy of a unique char, if thats the case then when mels favor is discared the char returns and becomes a dupe.

i mean if it take a char during my marshaling and then my opponent plays another character during his in the place if the char i just took. He would already have 4 characters by the end of the dominance phase so what happens to the the character i took?
It goes back to your opponent?

Unless im missing something, what difference does it make that he has 4 characters? There is no character limit in agot, you can have as many
characters out as you like.

From your previous statements it seems like you think there is a 4 character limit per side?
in the tutorial video there are only 4 location spots and 4 character spots
There is no limit to characters or locations in play.

Can someone explain why the character goes back to the owner when the attachment it discarded? So what if the attachment is discarded where does it say it goes back to the owner?? It does not say anything like while attached to character or to give it back at any time.

Faq:

 

(3.28) Duration of Control Change
Unless otherwise stated (for example, with a
specified duration), the change of control is
permanent until the card that switched sides
leaves play or control of the card switches
again via a card effect.

 

Note that attachments that grant control effects
end when the attachment granting control
leaves play

If a Rhaegar were in play and killed between when this was played, and the end of dominance, could you potentially have control of the character for more than one round?

I don't know why this should not work. But it's a nice idea...

From the FAQ:

 

(v1.0) Rhaegar Targaryen F82
When the round is brought to an end by
Rhaegar's ability, the current phase and
all phases remaining in the round are also
considered to end. If the round ends during
a challenge, that challenge ends without
resolution.

 

So while you skip dominance, its still considered to have ended.

Question about using the Favor. Can it be used to take control of OP unique character with same name as unique character you control? 

 

Example: Playing Joust, Baratheon vs Baratheon pair up happened. Player 1 Controls Stannis. Player 2 also controls Stannis. Can player 1 attach favor of player 2's Stannis to take control of him? Or is this illegal move? (Both hapen to have Stannis from the Valar Morghulis Set)

No it can't. Step 3.29 of the FAQ has the full explanation.

Thanks. I know its something that would rarely happen. But wanted to cover all the bases. 

The only way to keep this card 2 rounds is by killing Rhaegar Targaryen (BoRF)?
