I run a Targaryen dragons deck (in case my signature and avatar didn't make that immediately apparent), but I still include Widow's Watch at all times, seeing as it's so incredibly useful in a deck with a few key uniques, especially when combined with one or two learned characters. My question is whether or not attaching a dupe counts as playing a unique card. When I play Balerion the Black , for example, can I kneel my Oldtown Advisor to take out a duplicate, play the duplicate and kneel my Widow's Watch to take out a second duplicate? If so, this card would significantly shorten my 70 card deck for me and keep my dragons/Daenerys very safe at the same time.

According to the faq Dupes are considered to have no text, titles, traits, or crests. Which means that sadly they cant be used to trigger widows watch

****, I must have developed selective amnesia. I was thinking that a duplicate had everything but the title wiped, since the title is what makes it a duplicate to begin with. Oh well…

The fact that playing a dupe or putting a dupe into play is only considered to be playing/putting into play the dupe (instead of a card with that title) has other implications as well. It is the reason, for example, that if you bring a second copy of Meera Reed out of Shadows (to dupe a copy that is already in play), you don't get to blank more cards.
