Can anyone explain the usefulness of this card to me? As far as I can tell, it's only useful to *sometimes* force a player to pay for an expensive character twice. But that hinges on being able to win a challenge against an expensive character in the first place.

What am I missing?

If they defend with more characters than claim kills, you can force them to lose another character to the top of the deck. It also clogs their draw a little bit, which is always nice.

I guess you could also play this in melee to mess with another military challenge that you were not involved in, but I don't know how all of the player action windows work in melees since I pretty much only joust.

You don't play this when you win, you play it when you lose. The Losing player chooses a card to bounce to top of deck which effectively costs them the gold investment in the character and -1 draw. It is fairly easy to lose a military challenge to trigger this.

Agreed with Darksbane - you play it as the loser of the military challenge. Imagine it in a Targ Heir to the Iron Throne deck that does *not* use military, but instead goes for intrigue and power challenges. You can lose those military challenges if you want, and then play this and return (for example) an attachment-stacked Beric Dondarrion to the opponent's deck. There's a *lot* that can be done with this card.

You can also do things like return your own Ser Arys Oakheart to your hand and play him again to discard another ally. This card has a huge, huge amount of potential.

Sorry, one other important point: Neither Paper Shield nor He Calls It Thinking can cancel this card. That means that the majority of the Martell tricks fail, and you can steam roll for the win. The only couple cards I can think of that can consistently cancel this are Fear Cuts Deeper than Swords and To Be a Kraken. There are probably others, but it's important to note that.

What effect does this card have on characters with duplicate(s)? Do the duplicate(s) get discarded or do they stay in play?

You can discard a duplicate to stop the character leaving play.  Otherwise the character goes on the top of the deck and the duplicate(s) are discarded.
