"Cards of your House"

By Aertes, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

This is the description that I've found in several cards lately, specially from the new Queen of Dragons expansion set.
For example, one of it's plot cards say "you and an adversary must look for an accesory of your House in the deck". I think it called Expending the Winter Saves.

My question is: how does this work with the Neutral Faction house card?. This house card indicates that I have not a House affiliation, then:

A) The cards that talk about "cards of your house" mean the neutral cards for me, since my affiliation is neutral.

B) Such cards are useless for me, since being neutral means that I have no affiliation, and not even neutral cards are supposed to be "of my house".

Is A or B the right one?

It's B. Neutral Cards have no house affiliation (see FAQ page ten, paragraph 4.1). So you can't search for neutral attachments with "Spending the Winter Stores", even if you have a neutral House Card. Which sucks.

Ultimately, as Rat says, you cannot have an "in House" card when you have no House affiliation.

In fact I am trying a pure Night Watch deck, also using the neutral faction house card. So B is the correct one, as i was afraid. Thank you.

So the general purpose of using the "Neutral Faction" house card is if you have a decent mix between more than one house?

I completely misread the benefit of the Neutral Faction house card as reducing the cost to play neutral cards by one as that's what I had originally considered "out of house" since they are not technically in any house. Of course the card clearly states "reduce the cost of the out of house penalty" where there is no penalty on neutral cards.
