That's why I wrote "just a Potion" (having Transmute and Vineyard in mind) and "just Debt" (having Engineer, City Quarter, Overlord, and Royal Blacksmith in mind).

Well that's not true either, Alchemist doesn't cost less (or more) than Duchy.
What is untrue in this statement "Cards costing just a Potion or just Debt do not cost $1 or more, so you gain no cards if you trash them." (in Dismantle context of course) - where "just X" means "no cost in coins, but in X only"?

Nothing.

Sorry I get what you're saying now, I was thrown by the wording. I don't know how I'd word it, but I might just say "ignore potion and debt".

I haven't spotted a FAQ for this card, so I made this myself:

Quote
First you trash a card from your hand, if you have any. If the trashed card has any on-trashed abilities (like Hunting Grounds from Dominion: Dark Ages), or you have an on-trash Reaction such as Market Square (from Dominion: Dark Ages), you resolve them now. Then you check the cost of the trashed card, applying any cost-reducing effects, like that of Bridge (from Dominion: Intrigue) or Highway (from Dominion: Hinterlands) - if the card costs $1 or more, you gain a cheaper card and a Gold. The gained cards must come from the Supply. If there is no cheaper card in the Supply, you still gain a Gold (if available) and vice versa. Cards costing just a Potion (from Dominion: Alchemy) or just Debt (from Dominion: Empires) do not cost $1 or more, so you gain no cards if you trash them. If you do not trash a card, you gain nothing.

Too wordy?

Yeah, that's too wordy. Let me take a crack at editing it.

Add one sentence about the cost maybe? Changeling has similar one.

I got my copy of Dismantle today.  Scans of it, and the second edition versions of Envoy and Black Market, are now on the wiki.

Just got my Dutch one in the mail.
They gave it to me for complaining about translation errors to their customer service.

I can't say anything about Dismantle, but Nocturne translations were done by your fellow Dominion players, in-house, for Shuffle iT.  They could have gone with Teufelswerkstatt, but they felt Giftkuche was more evocative, and I agree with them.

Will the word "erhälst" also be seen on the printed cards?

Quote from: The Secret History of the Dominion Promos
Altenburger also wanted the world champion for this coming year to get to make a card. We said no! We are willing to put their face on a card, that is as far as we will go. However, as it happens, Adam is the current world champion. So a world champion did get to design a card.

So Dismantle is AdamH reading the "Neat and potentially useful card interactions" thread?

Here's my go at a FAQ:

Trashing is not optional.  If you trash a card costing , or if you have no cards left in hand to trash, nothing else happens.  If you trash a card costing or more, you gain a cheaper card and a Gold.  Both come from the Supply, and are put into your discard pile.  The cheaper card goes into your discard pile first.  For example, if you trash a Silver (costing ), you could gain an Estate (costing ).  There will almost always be a cheaper card in the Supply, since Copper and Curse cost , but if there aren't any, you still gain a Gold.  If there aren't any Gold left in the Supply, you still gain the cheaper card.  Cards that cost only (like Transmute from Alchemy) or only (like Engineer from Empires) do not cost or more.

...But cards that have alongside either or in their cost, like Alchemist or Fortune, do cost or more.

I'm just wondering if that additional clause is exactly necessary.
