Possession and Non-Supply Cards

As much as I hate to distract people from the scholarly one-card shuffle discussion (Ok, why the heck can't you just draw the one card???)...

I always thought that if I am possessing my opponent, and gain cards that are not in the supply (Spoils, Prizes, whatever), that I (not me as my opponent, but actually me) ultimately gain them.  Similarly, I can do cool tricks with their stuff with things like Ambassador, Island, Pathfinding, etc.

But in this game, my opponent was possessing me, played a Hero and exchanged if for a Champion on t13, but then I got the Champion, not him.  What's up with that?  Are Travelers immune to Possession?  The Hero was (correctly?) returned to the Hero pile.

Exchanging is not gaining.  8)

So exchanges don't trigger on-gain stuff?

Nope. The biggest thing here is that you can't use Watchtower to top deck exchanged Travellers to get to the end faster.

I'm going to use this to exchange disciples to teachers mid-game :).
