I have no cards in hand and House Dayne Reserves on the table. It, as well as all of my other characters, are knelt. You do an intrigue challenge. So I trigger the "return to hand" effect. You win the intrigue challenge. The only card in my hand available for you to discard for claim is House Dayne Reserves - which therefore ends up in play again. Standing.

We are about to reveal plots. I have about 6 characters on the table. You have 1. And it's a 1-STR weenie. I'm almost positive you're going to reveal Valar, or some other huge reset plot. So I trigger the "return to hand" effect, figuring the House Dayne Reserves will do me more good in my hand than in my dead pile.

There are a LOT of reasons the owner/controller would want to use the effect.

No, although there is a mechanic that is similar to what you're thinking it always specifies something like (any player may trigger this effect). For instance, Steelshanks Walton says "Dominance: If you won dominance this round, take control of Steelshanks Walton. (Any player may trigger this effect)."

Unless otherwise specified, card effects can only be triggered by the card's controller.

oh okay thanks (: ya guess are some good reasons why would want to thanks
