Looking forward to the reviews on this card. I can't see any way that it is playable at 6 gold. Maybe I'm missing something.

Well, paying six doesn't matter if it wins you the game. And under the right conditions, it absolutely would. Compare it to playing a big character on the last turn, where as this lets you essentially ambush in a bunch of big characters if they are in the opponents dead pile. 

 

But it probably depends a little too much on the opponent right now (not all decks will run the characters you want to steal) and Targ isn't really the 'murder everything that hits the board' threat it was in 1st Edition.

 

There's potential for it to be better down the line, though it'll probably always be a jank choice.

Yes, please. Oddly I find the 6 gold rather underpriced for the potential this card offers. Enables potential for a whole new archetype.

In melee at the very least seems fun, especially with ppl playing valar.

This will finally turn my opponent's pillage strategy on its head.

Its dead pile, not discard.

Also, works on your opponent's dead pile, not yours.

Run Valar, Wildfire and Blood of the Dragon.

Wait a few turns.

Play a big gold plot.

Profit.

Undoubtedly. I just dont see how Pillage would relate to the dead pile in any strategy.

Unless you were going against the Mountain. That's about it however.

Yeah, and that's not reliable enough to build a strategy around!

It doesn't say kill, it says return to the dead pile. Does that mean that if a card is, say, bounced back to it's owners hand, it would be returned to the dead pile at end of phase as well, despite no longer being in play?

No. When a card leaves play, any lasting effect on it and/or pending delayed effect is ended.

The "at the end of the phase" delayed effect cannot do anything to cards that are not in play at the end of the phase.

So how does this work when there is a character with the same name in play. Like say I pop my House of the Undying and I have a Littlefinger already in play and my opponent has one in their dead pile. Does that character come out or does he stay there?
