... putting a card back on the deck.
GendoIkari plays a Governor.
... getting +1 action.
... (GendoIkari reshuffles.)
... drawing 3 cards.
... Stealth Tomato draws 1 card.
GendoIkari plays a Farming Village.
... getting +2 actions.
... revealing a Governor.
... putting the Governor into the hand.
GendoIkari plays a Black Market.
... getting +$2.
... drawing a King's Court, a Lighthouse, and a Nomad Camp from the Black Market deck.
... playing 2 Golds and a Silver.
... GendoIkari buys a King's Court.
... returning a Lighthouse and a Nomad Camp to the bottom of the Black Market deck.
GendoIkari plays a Governor.
... getting +1 action.
... gaining a Gold.
... Stealth Tomato gains a Silver.
GendoIkari plays a Black Market.

Ok, so to be fair, I never actually got to play KC + Torturer. :(

I don't think it's that Torturer is a card you don't want, rather it's a card that you want to play multiple copies of for maximum effectiveness. Without the ability to do that (which King's Court granted you anyway :P), it's a +3 card militia generally.

...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.
