With all the good stuff Stark just Got, i feel Osha has slipped under the radar somewhat.

 

Firstly she is the first Stark to have both intrigue and military which is not an insignificant help to set-up.

 

Second she adds to the viable pool of Ice holders, maybe the best yet for decks that like a Storm of Swords.

 

Thirdly her ability should not be underestimated. For example chumping her into an opening intrigue conflict for a crossing deck.     

I think this is one of the best cards out of the box. Mind games are real. There is so much stuff you can do with a character that can willingly remove herself from the challenge - it's just crazy. And it will almost always screw up enemy calculations.

She's almost a reprint from first edition and was a staple in my decks back then. She's typically underestimated and can be a pain, agreed.

I have to admit I can't find room for her in my Stark deck. With such a First Snow heavy meta, 3 gold is already a bad cost for a character. Add to this that Stark right now hinges on it's 6-costers; yes, Jon and Grey Wind might be good, but it's Robb, Ned and the Blackfish that will win you games. So you usually want to run 3 copies of at least 2 of them, and you want to be able to play them on setup if you see them. This has made me cut all 3-costers in my Stark deck other than Summer. Considering I can tutor Summer on demand to resurect Bran or Rickon, I value her a lot higher than Osha.

 

In the curretn meta the cost is too awkward for a card that doesn't offer enough utility, or really push you towards your win condition. Just my opinion of course.

Well, maybe not in the style of a deck you're playing.

I like Osha, but I can only find a spot for her in my deck, so the times that she can turn up isn't very frequent. But I do love the artwork and her ability is fantastic. It's too bad she enters the meta when First Snow becomes such a bane for Stark deck, though.
