Quo Vadis NW?

Too expensive for what it has to offer. Regular Renown would be more welcome.

Not hugely impressed. Night's Watch Crossing is the one place I'd consider him, the more aggressive Night's Watch banner decks have better options for characters at this slot imo.

One of few ways to potentially get card draw from a non loyal card, though currently no characters with insight have mil icons (Rodrik gains it iirc so you can't gain that one) so you lose a bit from stealthing them.

You can stealth non-MIL icon characters during Military challenges though if you are just looking to steal Insight.

 

Borrowing Renown or Intimidate could be nice, but it's hard for a monocon whose ability depends on other characters having text.

For what it's worth, not having "No attachments" means he can take little birds and Noble Lineage

I'm thinking of replacing the one Ghost I have in my NW deck with this guy. Similar costs, stats, and effects, but the Ranger trait might be more useful.

It also makes him get all the Milk in the world if the opponent runs that card and is facing a Night's Watch deck - after all, where else is it going?

How bad do they really want it to put that milk on Stonesnake? If they to, the upside is that's one less Milk on Benjen or Old Bear or whatever else you might be running as neutrals or as a banner.

Guys, 

Is he stealing a keyword or just duplicating it to himself?

Just gaining for himself. 

how good is he in a Ranger deck? auto include? 1-of?

He was in my Targ Watch deck (fairly mini curve, lots of aggro) as a 1 of and did fine. In a deck that isn't about aggro I wouldn't bother.
