Very sitational card. It can be used as a meta for swarm or rush decks but can backfire badly. i think more stable would be plot control like Fear of Winter (BtW) or Blockade (Core). Could be considered in slow deck with quite expensive characters or army.
I have seen this one used in Bloodthirst to great effect, especially given Martell can search it out with the task plot. Ally means its not foolproof, but a decent number of anti ally cards cost gold and therefore won't get to work until after gold is counted once, and that alone is worth the price to me.

It was amazing in my version of Greg's GJ KotHH Char-Lite deck.  I could still see a cheeky 1x in a HoD Aegon's Hill deck, though.  More for fun than efficiency.

Actually, Old Way with the new Iron King's Guard and this guy and tons of boats could be super annoying.
