It gives two nice keyowrds for 1 dragon for 1 influence. Two because all of them have stealth allready. With
Daenerys Targaryen (QoD) it gives us two addtional power and maybe will stop opponent from defending giving us possibility to use Seductive Promise (Core). But I really don't see this card in Dragon deck especially if we add some burning splash. There are basically better cards available.
Kind of nice though that it has an influence cost, don't you think? (can't be canceled by Paper Shield). Also nice since it's a "suprise" effect - unlike the dragon support locations. I'd like to at least try it out if I get a chance to build and play some dragon decks.
Agree that it's worth to check. Depending how your Dragon theme will be combined with power or burn strategy. With Danerys it gives us 2 power, 1 surprise for opponent, potential threat during second challange. Let's see how it will work.
Instead i'm sure I would use 'make an example'. In a QoD ambush Dragons deck there are the new amazing locations, and Dany of course. One can surely take advantage of the card, but as Berto said it gives us 2 power. While make an example give us 3. If you can cut short, than maybe there's room for both cards.
Since you are probably running hier with a Dragon deck this is three power with Dany out, and deadly is not to be discounted for the chance to kill a character on the first challenge and push unopposed on the other two. I would take this over Make and Example in a Dragon deck without hesitation.

Could It be played after declaring attackers? I Mean for example using Blood of The Dragon(core)?

Yes it can be used during any of the action windows during the challenge phase, one of which is after attackers have been declared but before defenders are and another of which is after defenders are declared but before the challenge resolves. So basically yes you can.

It can give 3 keywords if you use it on a card that is granted the Dragon trait though, eg Rhaegar's Harp, Blood of the Dragon.
