Does Catapult's Treasure type check happen before or after the trashed card lands in the trash? (since an Estate inheriting Crown would revert back to a non-Treasure once in the trash)

Of all the obscure rules questions i have seen, this wins the title of most obscure. Congratulations.

It is relevant though, and would eventually come up.

And it was very convenient to have asked during our own (and Donald's) lifespan, rather than waiting until it comes up in a real game.

I can envision the plausible scenario.

I don't mind the questions; I just have only so much time to spend on them.

That particular combo (2 Kingdom, 1 Event) should come up on the order of 1 in 23k games. Shouldn't take that long for it to happen on DO17 in random games.

/inb4 someone submits it for a Dominion League Championship Match design challenge.

Plus a situation where it's actually good play to trash your Crown.

Plus a situation where using cost reduction to Inherit Crown is a reasonable option as compared to Inheriting something different.

This one might be the toughest because you would almost always rather inherit the cost reducer directly. If it's Bridge then you can Crown it to get hella reduction. If it's highway it makes it so you can reduce costs a lot without winning the split of real Highway cards.

Well, there's still Ferry. Plus, I think Inheriting Crown is usually better than inheriting Bridge, because inheriting nonterminals is usually better than inheriting terminals.
