Title: Dismantle + Wayfarer
Post by: David Goldfarb on July 25, 2020, 02:05:24 pm
Dismantle says "gain a cheaper card and a Gold". Do you have to gain them in that specific order? This matters when Wayfarer is in play.

Yes. It is short for "Gain a cheaper card. Gain a Gold."

Pretty sure this has been asked about Treasure Trove before.

Demand has a similar wording for gaining two cards. The rule book says: "The Horse goes on top first, then the card costing up to (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/2/2a/Coin4.png/16px-Coin4.png) does".
Thus, I would say there is no choice. The cheaper card is gained first, and then the Gold.

Edit: Spelling.

This is as good a place as any to mention that the picture of demand is really funny.

This was originally (I think) asked years ago about Mountebank. You first gain a Curse, then gain a Copper.

Would the order ever actually be relevant for Mountebank?

Maybe you want to topdeck Copper first, Curse second with Watchtower, so you can draw a Curse first and giving it to your opponent via ambassador

I'm sure there are several corner cases. Here it is in any case. (https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/661367/article/6893644#6893644)

Yeah even without things like Ambassador, order of top-decking can easily matter.

Yeah, for some reason it slipped my mind that you could topdeck gained cards when I asked that

This actually came up in a game I was in yesterday, but I opted not to try it. The Horse gain would have made Destrier cost $4, and I wanted to know if the target could be chosen after gaining the Horse or not...

The Horse is gained as soon as you click Demand, and the Destrier price changes accordingly and is choosable.
