One of the most important chain attachments. Very often used to put into play
Pyromancer's Cache (TWot5K) or with 2nd step of playing Bronze Link (FtC). it acts as additionla gold plus elem,ent of surprise for our opponent. Core of Maester agenda deck.

I use this card to bring out-of-house cards with a cost of 1 into play. I'm assuming there is nothing wrong with this considering it clearly states "a character or attachment card of printed cost 1 or lower into play from your hand" with no mention of house restrictions.

That's correct Thane. My favorite surprise play lately is to wait until an opponent has an important character participating in a challenge, give them the dragon trait with the Copper Link (GotC), then use this link to put into play Dragon Bite (AE) onto their character. Immediate, no saves, death.

Note they can save against it, such as by leaving play (Viserys Targaryen (Core) for example), as it removes them from the terminal effect. But unlike most terminal effects, that one wouldn't care how strong they are.

The next turn you can do it again by triggering the bronze link to return it to your hand,then trigger the other two links all in the same motion.

Love it, been using a similar setup and it truly works with almost any build - especially if you aren't running an agenda as you can then run The Maester's Path (GotC) so that the links don't take up precious deck space. Whether it's preventable or not NuFenix, the satisfaction gained using ones power against them is just too delicious not to appreciate!

My personal favourite lately has been running a Devious Intentions (BoRF) through the pale link - There is no situation where this card isn't awesome
