wild guess. it's cards that can theoretically gain the card into your hand, but are not guaranteed to. Rats can't, because it draws before gaining, and so does Bandit Camp.

Two cards that can are Remake and Count. Also, Urchin, with the help of a second one.

You are very close!

Two cards that can are Remake and Count.

A bit too theoretical? No.

This one is really really close, but doesn't strictly check the condition.

And we have a winner!

Explanation
The condition was, cards that gain cards to hand by themselves. The cards in the Honourable Mention category were gainers that could draw after the gain and hence get the card to your hand; and masquerade, which gets you a card in your hand, but doesn't actually "gain" it. While urchin can gain a mercenary "to hand", you need two of them to do it, and the urchin that gains mercenary is not the same as the one that gets it into your hand, anyway.

I still think Remake and Count should make the list, because you don't need any other kingdom card to make it work. Just an OE. Gain a copper, trash your hand, including the OE, draw a copper. Or trash an estate, gain a silver, trash the OE, draw the silver.

Cute! I hadn't thought about Overgrown Estate as a non-kingdom card, so I see were you are coming from. It depends on the exact way the condition is worded.

I agree that Count should, but Remake requires another kingdom card from Dark Ages or there won't be an Overgrown Estate in the game.

This one shouldn't be too hard - what's the common property in this list, and what cards are missing?

Village, Bank, Witch, Market, Count

Bonus question: Any honourable mentions? (I'll offer up a single one: Nobles)

I won't say what the property is, but I think the missing cards are
Copper, Estate, Gold, Library, Mine, Venture, Trader, Prince.

For honorable mentions, maybe Smithy and Treasury.

Cards whose name is a substring of the name of another card.

Aren't pretty much all short names honorable mentions? Spy, Inn, Mint, City, etc.

Minion could be a honorable mention because it's in Dominion.

I don't see how any of these qualify...? Certainly not in the same sense as the others mentioned. But I guess discussing/debating honorable mentions on these things is silly, because anyone can just make up their own standards for what warrants one.

Well, the other honorable mentions that were mentioned had one extra letter. "Sp" appears in Spice Merchant, "In" appears in Wishing Well, "Min" appears in Mining Village, "ity" appears in University.

The others were forms of words that would qualify.

My original thought was that the puzzles were going to be so easy that using spoilers was unnecessary.
But the real easy puzzles ran out quickly, so I'm okay with spoiler tags.

One card is missing.

They all cost 2$ or less... but there's more than one missing, and I can't see anything else they have in common. It must be something external to the card itself, since, say, curse can't do anything by itself (other than lowering your score).

Jack of All Trades

The name of the card has equal or more words than its cost

In a two player game, I chose to play a mercenary but decided not to trash any cards. To have not played the mercenary would be a mistake (strictly worse than playing it), but trashing cards would have been a mistake too (strictly worse than not trashing). I did not play it for the following reasons:

- to have it in play (e.g., for horn of plenty or peddler)
- to get it out of my hand (e.g., shanty town, farmland, or even something like forager)

What was the rationale behind my decision? I can only think of exactly one scenario where all of the statements above are true.
