Sure, it doesn't especially matter for a RBCI, but Foal would need a "when you discard this from play" big-background-arrow thingy like the Page/Peasant lines, rather than a flat-out "exchange". Otherwise you end up in corner-case hell.

This is a discussion I must have missed.  Aside from making it faster to finish a Traveler sequence, what gets broken if we don't wait for this?

whys that? bats + vampires exchange both to and from the supply/out-of-supply with no problem

That was my initial thought as well. Vampire and Bat are not Action cards, so cannot be played in unusual ways using emulators/command cards/throne variants, which, in theory, could cause issues. The official rules cover an Exchange failing because there is no card to get, but I don't think they cover one failing because there is no card to return (or it has been lost under the stop-moving rule).

The logical answer is that an exchange requires both, and so just as you don't return a card if there is none to take, you don't take a card if there is none to return, but that is not officially set forth. I suppose someone could argue whether exchange should work conditionally like Wish or unconditionally like Horse (if you Throne the former you only gain one card, but if you throne the latter you get the +Cards and +Actions twice, even though you only return it once), but I think the plain meaning of the word pretty clearly suggests the former.

I don't know what other problems there could be.

[crj]

My main worry is that I'm not sure it's completely clear how the Exchange mechanic interacts with the Stop-Moving rule. Presumably the intent would be that a Throned Foal didn't let you exchange it twice, but I suspect that would need a special ruling. Using the existing mechanism would be simpler.

Yes, that would also prevent you playing what you exchanged the Foal for on the same turn as the exchange, which also seems like a good idea. (I note that if you get especially creative, say, using a Monastery to trash a Cultist, it is possible to draw a Vampire/Bat, and therefore play it, the turn you got it; I assume that was deemed OK because it's an alternation more than an upgrade?)

The rules DO actually cover an Exchange failing because there is no card to return. From the Nocturne rules:

Nocturne has three cards that tell a player to "exchange" a card for another card. The card being exchanged is returned to its Supply pile, or non-Supply pile, and the card being exchanged for is taken and put into the player's discard pile. This does not count as gaining a card. The exchange only happens if both cards can be exchanged; if the pile is empty, the cards are not exchanged.

And the stop-moving rule would prevent a Commanded Foal from returning to its pile, as it's already there. "Exchange this for a Card X" is effectively identical to "return this to its pile. If you do, put a Card X from its pile into your discard pile."

[crj]

Ah, but can you really not "return" a card to its pile when it's already there?

I can see two potential objections. The first is that the "exchange" ability expects the card to be in play, the second that you can't move a card to somewhere it already is. While both seem plausible, neither seem to be spelled out anywhere.

On the first point, Vampire and Bat are the only cards that currently exchange themselves from play. I've thought for a bit, and I'm struggling to come up with any way you could possibly cause either to be played without being put into play, or to have left play before reaching the "exchange" instruction. So I don't think there's a ruling on that, yet.

On the second point, I've just gone down a rabbit hole that reaches a deeply absurd conclusion. I think I need to post a rules question. (-8

So far as I can see it's silent on the matter?

Have you ever tried Throning a card and using Way of the Butterfly on the Throned card both times? It fails the second time, because by then it's already in its pile.

That was my initial thought as well. Vampire and Bat are not Action cards, so cannot be played in unusual ways using emulators/command cards/throne variants, which, in theory, could cause issues.

Command cards wouldn't work. "Play a card [with X criteria] from the Supply." - Command cards. Foal is not in the Supply. Only Throne Room variants would work.

You seem to be relying on the online implementation, not the rulebook?
