Because clearly what House Dayne needed was more weenies and inefficient abilities.
I don't know with this one. A single influence per challenge phase to make him 2 cost for 2 str and 2 icons isn't so bad, its not like that's difficult to find even if you aren't running hollow hill. Plus he is a bannerman, so can help Edric out in a Westeros Bleeds turn (and if you are running that event, you should have loads of influence to use his ability!)

But I can't see him being very efficient if you have 2 of them out, and I can generally think of many better cards for the cost. Bit of a niche card for my liking.
He should have been a 3 STR with no icons. Then he'd be a Stony-Salty Dornish Skinchanger…and probably over-powered. B)

He does allow you surprise drop Darkstar into play for free and still reap the benefits of his abilities. He has proven to be very useful to me in my HH control deck that hinges on having fewer characters in play than my opponents. I've got the influence to make him pretty formidable but don't mind killing him for claim in order to keep some of the more powerful/expensive characters around.
