Generally speaking:
In House: a card with a House Crest matching that of it's controller's House Card
Out of House: a card which does not share a House Crest with it's controller's House Card

I'm not familiar with the term "On House"

He may mean out-of-house.

There has been a lot of confusion around the new locations reducing out-of-House Targaryen armies : people were thinking that all armies out of House-Targaryen were reduced. Instead, if you are not playing the Targaryen House, only Targaryen armies cost is reduced.

This wording out-of-house is also used on the Alliance agenda.

The in-house wording is used in High Ground ability.

"out-of-House Targ card" would have two separate play restrictions: "out-of-House" (meaning that the card must be non-neutral and not have the House affiliation you are playing) and "Targ" (meaning that the card must have the Targaryen affiliation). So as you say, the reducer works for cards that have the Targ affiliation, but only if you are not playing Targ. (It's a little more complicated in that if the Targ card you want to play is dual or multi House, it cannot have the affiliation you are playing along with the Targ.)

I hadn't thought of this before until reading your response, but taking into consideration the way people say things such as "I'm running a Brotherhood deck out of house Martell" that could lead to potentional confusion when a location reduces the cost for an army "out of house Targ." I'm just pointing out the potential cause for the confusion you mention.

I believe the "on house" question is specifically that, involving the same things ktom mentioned before such as power or attachments on the house card.

I think this was a switch from "a card whose House affiliation does not match that of its controller's House" terminology that had been used back in the CCG days, mostly to save on space. It's one of those terms that should probably be added to a glossary section of the FAQ.

Daenarys:

Can you please reply to your post to explain where you got the On House terminology from?

Hi there, i have only just looked again at this thread so apologies for the delay.

The onhouse term is actually used on a card i believe and was raised as a query by my friend. When i am back home and can look at all the cards and clarify with him i will put all the details and specifics so this can be answered.

Thanks all

I have finallhy found the card i was trying to reference. I made an error with my terminology but would still like clarification please

Sir Gregor Band F18

Sir Gregor Band gets +1 STR for each non-house card in play with 1 or more power on it ?

Thanks

It's just the plain English meaning of "on" in Ser Gregor's Band text (and in all text that refers to power on cards). I honestly have no better way to explain it.

?????? I am talking about non house , not in reference to the power

thanks

So there was a typo in the thread title. Not "on house", but "non-house". That means look at all the cards on the table with power on them that aren't House cards. That's all.

"Non-House" in a card text will refer to the card type.

If the text is supposed to refer to a card's House affiliation, it will make a reference to a card's affiliation (eg, "non-Stark," "out-of-House," "an affiliation that doesn't match…" or something similar).
