Stats very solid, tricons, stealth and learned treat are standard for Tyrion. Two very powerfull abilities. Passive one which can draw into any challange all knelt (!) clansman characters if tyrion participate in it. and responce which saves Tyrion from being killed. Auto include in clansman deck.
A tricon char with stealth and a crest, is good in itself, but with those abilities. I'm dead.

Of all the previews, this seems the most silly... sure, he's not as good in a non-clansmen deck but who cares? He's solidly above average already! (Compare him to cranogmen, who cost the same but dont have intrigue challenges)

With clansmen, he's just stupidly good :(
Can he still bring in the clansmen if he's defending a joust challenge (or given joust by a different card)?

Defending against Joust allows you to only "Declare" one defender but doesn't restrict number of participants. The additional Clansmen are not "Declared" but are participating through an additional card effect. Similarily, you could use Tyrion to stuff the new Melee Bob.
If Tyrion is declared as an attacker during an intrigue challenge, are the clansmen without intrigue icons considered participants as well? I know the text says "all knelt clansmen", but is it legal for them to paticipate if they don't have the relevant icon?
They all participate. It is legal.
This card is truly op!
I am a new player and I saw this card for a first time 2 days ago in a game with friend. I thought he had printed it and I had to check if it was official.
I have only 1 question right now is "When will this becomes restricted?"
Why would this become restricted? What problems are you having with this card? Tyrion should really only be winning one challenge. You can't really stand him except for Distinct Mastery (Core).
Even if you could stand him, it's not like he is claiming Power. Tyrion is not going to win you a game by himself.
