Ambush and Company of the Cat

By Penek, in 2. AGoT Rules Discussion

Not found answer by the search. So question does Ambush are card effect? I mean does Company of the Cat entering play from its ambush work for its response (Response: After Company of the Cat is put into play through a card effect, draw 1 card.)

Ambush is a card effect. Marshalling it into play is not.

You put it into play through ambush, you can respond to draw a card.

In case Istaril's insistence on "put into play" hasn't gotten your attention to it, when using Ambush from the Plains, you don't "play" the card (so you cannot trigger any response from playing it).

It's not about 'Ambush from the plains' card, it's about the Ambush Keyword. Anyway, Company of the Cat's response is triggered when this card is put into play, so 'Ambush from the plains' triggers its response.

So, my general question, is Ambush is a card effect?

Yes, it is. And with it, the card is not "played" but "put into play".
