Really bad Dominion joke

Why doesn't Han Solo play Dominion?

Because in Dominion, a Smuggler can never get a Princess.

It's actually not super hard.

Player 1's hand:  Tournament, Ambassador, Province, X, X
Player 2's hand:  Smuggler, Moat, and several non-Province cards.

Player 1:  Plays Tournament, reveals Province, gains Princess (and draws it), plays Ambassador (player 2 reveals Moat), selects Princess for the Ambassador's target, it gets returned to supply, but does not go to Player 2 because of the Moat.  Turn ends.

Player 2:  Plays Smugglers, gains Princess (a card that costs $6 or less).

Of course, this is bad play for Player 1.  And sort of for Player 2, since he could've done the whole thing just by not Moating the Ambassador (but, then, he didn't know what Player 1 was going to choose).

No. Ambassador cannot return Princess to the supply, because Princess is never in the supply.

Ah, yes.  In that case, I'm going to go with "it's impossible as the game presently exists," because I'm pretty sure that there's nothing else that can do any kind of shenanigans with returning cards to the supply or pseudo-supply other than Ambassador.

So what happens when you ambassador a card that is not originally in the supply?

I'm curious too, this also applies for Black Market decks.

In the case of prizes or BM cards, I think the answer is nothing.

There are no cards that are available in multiple copies but are not in the supply, to the best of my knowledge.

By "nothing", you mean the card remains in your hand since it can't be "returned"?

Why does the Scholastic publishing company refuse to accept the Alchemy expansion?

Because Donald X. didn't call it a Sorcerer's Stone.
