Question about Red Warlock

By KyK, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Hi.

My question is:

The red warlock text says that as response after Red Warlock enters play you can search for an attachment. If i already have in play a red warlock and y play a new one can i search for two attachments, one for each red warlock?

People with wich i play said that i cannot, but they don't give a reason for that.

Thanks

You cannot.

The reason why is because the character is self-referential, meaning that the Red Warlock refers to himself by title in its own ability. When a card refers to itself by title, it refers only to itself - not to all cards with the same name.

Look at it this way: Northern Fiefdom says "Kneel Northern Fiefdom to lower the cost of the next Stark card you play by 1." If I have 3 in play and I kneel #1, does that activate the effect on the other 2, meaning that each one lowers the cost of cards by 3? Of course not, because I have to kneel each individual card to activate its ability.

Or how about this: Say that I have the Secrets and Spies Littlefinger in play, which says that Littlefinger does not kneel to attack. You play the Core Set Littlefinger, who says that Littlefinger gets +1 STR for each gold in your gold pool. Does the effect on yours mean that my Littlefinger gets +1 for each gold in your gold pool, too? And does my version make yours not kneel to attack? Again, no. Because by referring to themselves by title, each version of Littlefinger only applies to itself, not to every card named "Littlefinger" in play.
