Say I buy Conquest (Gain 2 Silvers) and there is only one Silver in the Supply, so normally I could only gain one card, but Changeling is also in the supply. In that case, is it possible to exchange the (first) gained Silver for a Changeling (putting it back in the supply) and then still gain the (second) Silver after that? I would have thought it would be but it always pays to check.

Presumably in that case I would also get 2 VP for gaining silver twice by doing so (plus 1 for any Silver gained earlier in the turn).

Yes. Since the pile is no longer empty after you exchange the first one, you are able to gain the second one. And gaining followed by exchanging is still gaining, so you still get 2 VP

This sounds familiar!

Donald X confirmed a long time ago that gaining multiple cards at once acts like separately gaining each 1 at a time, with relevant things triggering in between.
