Cards you always remember wrong

What card do you always mis-remember, no matter how many games you've played?

For me, it's Embargo. I always think it gives +1 Buy.

I can never remember what gives what when trashing with Transmute.

Sometimes I forget that Graverobber can gain from the trash. It's there in the name: grave robber. But in my mind it's just "You may trash a $5 Action card from your hand, if you do, gain a Province."

For some reason I always mix up Apothecary and Scrying Pool. There have been games where I start trashing my Coppers and buy a Potion to get a sweet Scrying Pool engine going, only to realize what I thought was Scrying Pool was Apothecary.

I tend to forget that Squire gives +$1, since I'm usually just thinking of the options you choose.

I also forget sometimes that Urchin discards all the way down to four cards.  I usually think of the discard attack as quite minor, but in fact it is nearly as good as Militia when used as a finisher after a bunch of Council Rooms, Soothsayers, or Governors.

There's some cards that I use rarely enough that I can't remember all of the clauses on. Graverobber and Rogue being two. I get the Knights mixed up (like a lot of people, I think).

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

I was about to say "nothing" but I forgot about the Knights...  I need to go memorize them right now...

EDIT: Never mind, I just quizzed myself on them and got them all right...   ::)

So, the answer really is nothing!

Develop, remodel, remake, upgrade.  I know what they all do, but when I see them in writing I have to think to myself which one does which...

I don't know any of the knights...

Rogue because I never use it, and I actually always forget the trashing part on graverobber

I often forget that Graverobber top-decks the gained card.  Sometimes I try to take opponents' treasures with Pirate Ship.

I'm not sure if this counts, but Treasuries might as well be Peddlers and Alchemists Laboratories when I'm playing IRL, even though I buy them under the assumption that I will be top-decking them.

Mostly because I haven't played with it enough, I forget that Doctor is terminal. I tend to think of it as being more like Lookout.

Oh, and I can sometimes forget the on-trash benefits of things like Catacombs and Hunting Grounds.

Can we name some that aren't from the two most recent sets?

I forget that library puts action cards in limbo, not actually straight into the discard.

I used to confuse the gain restrictions on Smugglers and Haggler with one another.  Specifically that Smugglers cannot gain over $6 or Potion costs, and Haggler cannot gain Victory.

This isn't quite the same, but sometimes I think that Provinces cost $6 if I'm not being careful, just because of that big old 6 on the front. Especially at >$24 and I'm expecting to quad-Province (not that it happens very often).

24 is a slippery number...A little too divisible if you ask me

I always forget about the Potion clause on Apprentice.

I'm not sure if I could tell you with 100% confidence when the "Gain a Silver" on Jack of all Trades happens.

I often forget the little benefit for the opponent that Vault give.
I know the on-trash effect of Catacombs, but I don't think of it when playing.

And sometimes I think that it gives 8VP (when I'm playing without the VP counter (which is why I usually play with it)). This is a problem especially in Colony games.

I can top that: I do the same with Scheme.

How about all the durations when playing IRL?

I will give +1 to anyone who honestly forgets to keep Tactician in play.

I'm pretty sure it has happened in my group.  If you play a bunch of cantrips or are doing double tac, it happens.  You get so used to just sweeping up all the cards you have in play.

I sometimes forget to discard it from play after the Tac turn. Do I get a +1 too?

That sounds like the single best double-Tac strategy.
