Why isn't it gaining Silver?

I think we'll find a few of these over the next week.

cards in Hand: Menagerie, Ironworks, Menagerie, Chapel, Menagerie
plays Chapel
has $0 to spend and 1 buy
buys NOTHING!

Maybe I shouldn't follow up on that idea. I also tried an apprentice/horse traders/tunnel combo that failed utterly when the apprentice kept trashing the tunnel and horse traders :) .

The point is I really expected it is not easy to build an bot with Develop. But why does it gain a card which is not in the buyrules for $3, when there is Silver in buy-rules?

Develop is bugged. It will gain the "best card in the supply according to trash priority" so it won't even look in your buy rules.

@DG: the Menagerie bug doesn't surprise me a lot. I added logic to the Menagerie code so it either gets played as fast as possible for 3 cards or waits until it can draw 3 cards. There's probably some flaw in there.
