I could see some small value in this as First Snow defense or to use Margery as money. Kneel Margery to add power to another 3 or less character and gain 4-6 cash before Marg goes back to hand. Makes you wish Tyrell had some more big bodies.

You can't do that. Marg is a Challanges Action, while this is a Marshaling Action.

 

This card will only be good once the "hinted" STR manipulation theme gets some love. So far, that theme only got 3 cards, all from the Core and all Challanges actions, so this event can't interact with any of them.

Currently the best use of this card is selling Left or Right after the other one gets killed. The other good choice is Hobber, who is fairly high STR with an enter play effect. Planning on using it to trade up from 2-3 costers into your 6+ drops is probably too inconsistent at the moment.

Doh. Bad oversight.

Best use I've seen so far: sacrifice a knelt KoF to play another KoF

I'm very interested in seeing what they plan to do with Tyrell.  I could see myself using this card to help pay for cards you can't normally reduce with other cards, like locations or attachments.  It does feel like one of those "in case of emergency, break this glass" cards though, which can mean that your hands could be tied by not having the income or you have some costly characters with a negative attachment that makes them almost useless.  Not sure.

Banner to the lion and use on Bronn LOL. I like how similar in feel this is to Pleasure Barge. Tyrell has these "instant gratification" effects...I like it.

*Sigh* Read the card again.

As the sacrifice is a follow up effect and not cost like on cards that say something like "sacrifice a character to...." it should be possible to save the character with a dupe or bodyguard isn't it?

 

EDIT: forget that sacrifice can not be saved

This card should have been a Stark one... I really dont know what they are trying to do with Tyrell...

It is based on strength which is easily manipulated by Tyrell, not the sacrifice combo possibilities. Will likely get better as we start actually receiving good Tyrell cards.
