Nice to use on your claim soak in marshalling to kill a guy, then you are in the position where if they do a mil challenge you are getting to use it again next turn. Plenty of good targets for it as well, I got Bran with it yesterday, core Sansa, Arya, Doreah, Tickler, Brothel Madame, Janos, Caleotte, Selyse...even reducers aren't terrible to target.

Printed strength is good too as Winterfell and the Wall don't help, and its not like Martell has burn.

Really good card.

Arianne is the best target for this. Point and click return to hand usually

At 8g though...

Not really, if you were using Arianne anyway you get the character in play as normal.

I prefer Bastard Daughter myself. "Go ahead, do a military challenge..."

Arianne and Venomous = 8 G :)

man I wish this wasnt loyal, I'd so run in a Sun deck with Greyjoy.

Arianne and Venomous = 8 G :)

 

Yes but Arianne isn't a using 8 gold if using her ability because you are putting a 4 or 5 cost character into play most of the time with her, so you aren't loosing gold advantage of putting the blade on her.

If this card leaves play before the end of the phase, (e.g. with Trading With Qohor), does the poisoning still happen?  Or does the attachment need to stay in play till the end of the phase?

The killing still happens, because it is all part of the initial effect––the bomb has already been deployed, so speak, it's just on a timer. 

 

If it had been templated as 2 effects (e.g "Reaction:  When VB enters play, put a poison token on a character. + Reaction: When a phase ends, kill each character with a poison token.")  then it would still need to be around.
