throne room + engineer

If I throne room an engineer, I can't trash it twice to gain, right? (wording is identical to Mining Village and this is the original instance of the "lose track" rule). This appears to be allowed on Dominion Online.

Once again, the "if you do" rule takes precedence over any lose-track considerations. You didn't trash it a second time so you never get that card.

lol, Beyond Awesome found this exact same bug in our league match last weekend (and was even nice enough to undo the extra gain).  i mentioned it in their Discord but forgot to post on the forums, so thanks!

This is why I don't prefer the wording on 2nd edition mining village. I feel like it's less clear that if you throne room it, you can't trash it twice for $2. The first edition was clearer.

Well I agree with him removing "immediately" as that was just sort of weird, but otherwise, yeah, I agree with you. The trick I guess is to just know that in Dominion terms, "to" means "if you did".

Oddly enough, Engineer uses "if you did" instead of "to" even though Empires supposedly is all the new wordings.

Related question: if I Throne Room an Overlord, picking, say, Embargo as the first emulation, trashing Overlord, then picking Band of Misfits as the second emulation, can I then emulate Engineer?  Since Band of Misfits says "play this as if it were an Action ... costing less than this", but Overlord is now in the trash, and not in play, thus doesn't turn into Band of Misfits, and thus still costs ?  This was brought up in a puzzle, and I'm not sure if it's correct or not.  Currently, Dominion Online implements it as you can emulate a card costing less than Band of Misfits, not Overlord.

I believe that warrants a new thread.
