3for3 bicons, immune to events, House Tully, Army with war crest. Wow even without ability this card is brilliant. If we add now to all of this ability to be found by any search effect getting this card would be very easy. Autoinclude in House Tully and to consider in almost any Stark deck.
This card can be put into play from your deck with At the Gates right? I see no reason why it wouldn't work, but wanna make sure.

Could be a pretty solid start for any War crest deck to make sure you always start with an army and a war crest in play.

That's actually a VERY common use for At the Gates in a Stark deck. Use it to get Luwin for his event draw, or use it to get the Riders for your warcrest.
Cool, thanks :)
Isn't the card's text valid only if it is in play? Thus you'd be 'searching' for a second card in the deck?
Normally card text is only valid while in play, unless the card specifically says othervice. This one states that it has this ability when it is in the deck so it works.

if I use family,
Family, Duty, Honor (LoW) and i find only 2 house tully can I still search for the riders?
Family, Duty, Honor onyl allows you to search the top 5 cards of your deck, so if they do not show up in those top 5 cards, no you can not look further into your deck for them. The ability of the Riders doesn't change the parameters of your search, it just makes them fit it if they are already in the area searched.
ok thanks

Correct.
question,the criteria means that i have to pick RotRF in the search? or it is optional?
It is optional to find them, but it lets you find them with any search.

Say your opponent flips Spending the Winter Stores (QoD). You can grab these guys instead of an attachment. Or, you could grab Frozen Solid (LoW) or any other in-house attachment. Same with At the Gates, Building Season, Maester Luwin, etc.
thx bro!
Can i search this card to a duplicate for any charcter? If i use Widows watch?

Sure, but it will end up in your hand, and you can't play it as a duplicate on that character.

Could not At the Gates still grab him if you are using a different house? If he meets the requirements to be found by any search affect I would think that would include searching for an in-house maester.
