Can the attachments cost be paid in influence if the attachement has ambush?

Can the cost of the attachement be 0?

No - you cannot use the "Ambush" ability of any attachment selected when using this card's effect. This is because you are not playing the attachment as a separate action, but putting it into play using the character's ability. As a result, you can only use the cost specified in the ability.

The attachment you search your deck for may have a printed cost of 0. Nothing in the ability places any kind of limit on the attachment chosen (other than that it must be legal to put on a card you control).

Awsome! thanks! This is a great card for anything running 1 or 2 attachements.

"After Braided Warrior comes into play, search your deck for an attachment and pay its printed gold cost to put it into play attached to a card you control. Then, shuffle your deck."

 

Since the card says "and" instead of "then", am I able to search for an attachment that I cannot afford?  Since I cannot fulfill the entire effect, I would imagine this would be an illegal play.  It also does not say "add to hand, and pay its printed gold cost" so if I am able to search an attachment that is too expensive, could I keep it in hand?  Again, I think not....

Well, the better way to look at it is that, since the "and" is before the "to," the entire phrase ("search your deck for an attachment and pay its printed cost") is the cost of the "put into play" effect. Thus, searching for an attachment that is more expensive than what you could pay results in no expectation of a successful resolution - which means you can't initiate the effect to begin with. So no, you cannot use this effect to search for an attachment with a higher printed cost than you have gold.

 

From a purely practical standpoint, you might need to complete the search to verify you have no attachments you can pay for, but you cannot pull one that is more expensive when you search and call the search good.

 

Also, as you say, there is nothing in the effect that says to put the found attachment into your hand if you can't pay for it, so you absolutely cannot just make that assumption.

Cool, thanks Ktom!

By "printed gold cost", does that mean OOH attachments don't cost extra?

That is correct, you can cheat in OOH attachments without paying the OOH penalty.
