Title: Noble Brigand vs. Watchtower
Post by: BubbleBoy on June 03, 2012, 06:33:39 pm
Say I play Noble Brigand and force my opponent to gain a Copper. He reveals Watchtower from his hand, trashing the Copper. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the intention, but based on the wording of Noble Brigand I must ask: Do I gain the trashed Copper?

Side question: Say we have the same scenario, but my opponent reveals Trader before Watchtower, thus trashing a Silver instead. Do I gain the Silver?

I'm guessing no to both of these, but I'd like to know why or why not.

No, because Noble Brigand is referring to the cards it trashed, not to cards trashed by other things around the same time.

That makes sense. Thanks for the reply, Donald!
