Title: Groundskeeper, Inheritance and Innovation
Post by: Jeebus on January 11, 2019, 03:27:07 pm
I have Inherited Groundskeeper, and I have bought Innovation.
I gain an Estate, playing it via Innovation on when-gain. The Estate ("Groundskeeper") is now in play, and I'm still resolving when-gains for gaining the Estate. Does the Groundskeeper when-gain trigger now, giving me 1 VP token? If it said, "when you gain a Victory card, if this is in play," there would be no question that it's "yes". But as it is I'm not sure. ...But I guess it should still work?

I checked, and online it does give you the VP token.
Title: Overlord, Inheritance and Duplicate/Changeling
Post by: Jeebus on January 11, 2019, 03:44:38 pm
This is a bit different, but kinda related. I have bought Innovation. I buy an Overlord, playing it on when-gain as a Village. Can I now call Duplicate, or exhange it for a Changeling? I'm pretty sure the answer is "no". The Overlord currently has the right cost for this, but I assume that the trigger includes the cost: "When you gain a card costing $x" is different from "when you gain a card, if it costs $x".

Checked and behaves correctly online according to my assumption.

This is correct.

Duplicate looks for a card costing up to $6 being gained, which didn't happen, so you can't use it.

Changeling additionally requires that the card didn't move from where it was gained, so you extra can't use it.

Right. Of course I've been thinking about Innovation not working with Changeling (or Watchtower, Cargo Ship, etc.) all along, and then somehow forgetting when writing this question. Anyway, thanks for your replies!

Incidentally, this means the Triggered Effects page on the wiki needs to be corrected, for anybody reading this that wants to.
