Trashing and Priest
majiponi:
I bought Innovation.
When I trash a Catacombs to gain and play a Priest, do I get $4?
GendoIkari:
Seems like this should work just the same as Innovation + Livery, which does work as per this thread. So yes, you get +$4.
Dominionaer:
i think i understand the reasoning but need to clarify why i have a doubt here:
The general rule is, when during resolving an effect due to a trigger an effect get added to the list of effects applicable for that specific trigger, the added effect is usable to the actual triggering already. Correct so far?
So under Innovation there is one effect lingering to "when a card is gained". Gaining Livery and playing it with Innovation adds another effect to the same trigger and due to the general rule gets resolved immediatly; the Livery provides a Horse for its own gaining. Still correct?
I understand GendoIkari's answer to the Priest played during resolving Catacomb's trashing effect adds Priest's bonus effect for trashing to the list of effects usable to trashing Catacomb and so gives $2 for trashing that Catacomb. Correct?
If so, my doubt is in Priest's "For the rest of this turn". For me that translate to "from now on (and not applicable to previous occurences)". Catacomb got trashed before Priest changing conditions. Although a trigger opens a "window" in which multiple things can happen seemingly "simultanously", the phrase in question indicates a timing, dividing before versus after. Furthermore: if Priest would not have that phrase, it would just work as said by Gendolkari. But since it have it, …

That's all correct. The only thing that makes Priest/Catacombs a little different than Livery is that the timing of Innovation interrupts things; you have to deal with a "when gain" while you're still also within the "when trash" timing window.

I agree with you, but Donald X does not. That specific interpretation is actually discussed by me in the linked thread. Or more accurately, based on stuff Donald said on Discord as quoted in that thread, he used to agree with that but changed his mind.

That's not so accurate. I totally think "for the rest of this turn, when x" shouldn't work on an x that already happened, even if we're still resolving things for "when x." I was pushed into agreeing that it does due to how rulings go for other cards. For the moment there's no better answer.
