During your turn, a card is in the trash, then later in the same turn, you buy the card.  How?

You gain it from the trash with Rogue or Graverobber, then use Ambassador to return it to the supply while your opponent has a Lighthouse in play, then you play some Treasure cards or whatever to get enough money to buy it.

Ninja-d by the next page I didn't see.

Graverobber, Moat-ed Ambassador (or return 2, card in question first)

Buying a non-Martin knight with Haggler in play, revealing Martin, gaining Martin off Haggler.
That's a partial solution, but not quite sufficient. You'd resolve the Haggler's effect before you gained the top Knight, so Sir Martin wouldn't be available to gain yet. You need a component or two more to make it work.

During my buy phase, I buy one Knight and, as a result, I gain the top two cards from the Knights pile.

How?
Haggler+Squire+Watchtower.

Two-player. Graverobber, draw it with some cantrip, then play Ambassador, return that one first followed by a second copy. Opponent gains the second one, you can buy the original.

Next-page ninjas strike again.

Bigger question is why?

It has some on-gain or on-buy effect you want and there are none of it left in the Supply.

Okay so, buy Dame Anna or whoever with Haggler, gain Squire from Haggler, trash Squire with Watchtower, gain… no, Dame Anna is still on top, so you gain her from the Squire and then your buy… fizzles? I'm actually not sure what happens in this situation, but the buy fizzling seems more likely than it being transferred to the next Knight down.

You have ten Hagglers in play, buy a Knight, gain ten Squires, explode them with Watchtower and gain all ten Knights.

Then the game ends on piles. Hope you planned for that.

You have 2 points from Dame Josephine so it's fine.

That works!

There's a trickier solution that doesn't use Squire, though.

Yup, that's it!

(And the buy does indeed "fizzle.")

I never thought about how Gaining from an On-Buy effect actually ends up Gaining in reverse order.

You have a Followers in your hand.  Ignoring Actions required, I play four cards and force you to give it to me.  What did I play, and what else was in your hand?

Note that you have to be *forced* to give it.  You could easily discard it to the Militia.

Also KC-Bureaucrat-Bureacrat-Masquerade when your hand is 4 VP cards and Followers.  Or a mix of Bureaucrat and Cutpurse for a hand with VP and Copper.

You could also do it with 2 actions if we allow Possession.  (Possession and Masquerade, passing Masquerade.)

Yep.  Also works if the other Cutpurse is a Pillage.
