Card is totally overpowered. Autoinclude in every Dragon Deck.
Actually, if you have Daenerys Targaryen (QoD) then this card isn't as useful. Adding this card into a deck with Daenerys Targaryen (QoD) and your dragons is increasing your chances of being able to stand only one of your dragons while making that one dragon even more powerful than it already is (and likely more powerful than what it needs to be in order to win the challenge).
If you have Daenerys Targaryen (QoD), this card can still make a difference when your opponent is first player and you need to defend without kneeling your dragons (so they can attack later). Standing dragons is always useful, whether to defend, to win dominance or just because Daenerys isn't on the table.
Daenerys wont always survive, cards such as this and Royal Favour can keep you in the game even if she dies.
I'd rather have Astapor than Daenesys much harder to remove and one STR6 dragon with stealth is usually enough to win a challange.
But yes; the card is auto include in dragon decks... doesn't mean it overpowered because of that, only that dragon decks have a quite limited pool of cards that they can use :)
I have one question about this card. You get +2 str till end of phase. But you can only stand after one wining challenge, not every time that dragon participated (and won), right?
