2)If you Ironworks Estate-inherited-to-Village during Possession Turn, then reveal Watchtower to trash it , which bonus do you get?

"You" can't do that for #2. Do you mean if you have your Estate token on Village, and you play a Possession, and then on your opponent's turn you make him play Ironworks to gain an Estate? If so, then the answer is "no bonus". The Blue Dog rule is in effect here, Inheritance doesn't change it at all. (The person whose turn it is, the possessed player, never gained anything because of the would-gain, so when Ironworks checks the types of the gained card, there's no "gained card" to check, so no bonus).

I think the answer to both 1 and 3 is +1 card and +1 action as Ironworks gained a card (which was only subsequently trashed by Watchtower) that had types Victory and Action, but I have to confess that this answer is off the top of my head without stopping to look at the precise wording on either Ironworks or Watchtower.

1) You get +1 Action, +1 Card and the estate-village ends up in the trash (which is then a regular estate.)
2) Nothing
3) You +1 Action, +1 Card and an estate-as-fortress in your hand.

Oh, I mean that possessed player is "you". I forgot Possession's would-gain.

Then, how about this one?:
4) If possessed player trashes Estate-as-Village by Transmute, which bonus does he/her get?

[eHalcyon]

Then, how about this one?:
4) If possessed player trashes Estate-as-Village by Transmute, which bonus does he/her get?

Duchy and Gold, which the Possessor gains instead. Possession doesn't make a difference for the trashing part here. The card was indeed trashed, and it was an Action-Victory.

Actually no. Donald has said that you just get a Gold. Transmute says "if it is an..." and at that point it's just an Estate.
But you're right that Possession doesn't make a difference for the trashing part. The Estate is trashed, then set aside. Then you gain a Gold, which the Possessor gains instead.

Oh, my bad then. I guess the tense matters here.

1)If you Ironworks Estate-inherited-to-Village, then reveal Watchtower to trash it , which bonus do you get?

So, based on the Transmute ruling, I would think you only get +1 Card in this situation.

...Not that anyone would ever do this...

Hmm... It looks like you're right. That changes the answers to both question 1 and 3.

Edit: No, just question 1.

Yet Donald +1d Adrian's answers.... I don't see a wording difference between Ironworks and Transmute though. But the timing it sort of different, Transmute knows that that card will end up in the trash, so that's where it looks for answers. Ironworks, on the other hand, doesn't expect the card to be in the trash, so it assumes it's getting it's data from the card as it was when it was gained. Could work as an explanation...

[Deadlock39]

On everything else, doesn't "it" refer to what "it" is at the moment that instruction is resolved? (Procession->BoM gains an Action costing $6) It shouldn't matter where "it" is because Lose Track only applies to things that you are trying to move.

I'm not sure how that would change the answer to #3, because the Estate-Fortress went to your hand, and "it" is still an Action and a Victory.  It only changes back to just Victory if it stays in the trash as in example #1.

Yes, you look at the card when you get to resolving that sentence on Ironworks, and this is a weird case where it isn't the same types as when you gained it.

[LastFootnote]

Wait, so…what are the rulings on the inherited Village case and the inherited Fortress cases?

[Jeebus]

I think Deadlock39 is right. That means the answers are:

1) +1 Card -- the Estate is a Victory card in the trash.
2) Nothing -- the Estate wasn't gained.
3) +1 Card, +1 Action -- the Estate is an Action-Victory card in your hand.
4) A Gold -- the Estate is a Victory card in the trash.

4) A Gold and a Duchy -- the Estate is an Action-Victory card set aside. (Correction after subsequent posts.)

[chipperMDW]

Judging by the following from the Empires Rulebook thread:

Sorry; I guess I'm being slow, but I can't tell for sure from your response: does that mean Ritual should be interpreted as checking the cost of the card in the past (i.e. at the time of trashing)?

Since it says "cost" instead of "costs," it goes by what the card cost then, not what it costs now. If this causes a problem I will switch it but having not given it any thought yet, that's how it works.

it seems like it's not so much that "it" refers to an object at a specific moment in time, but that the tense of the verb used implies a moment in time where the object's properties matter: now for present tense or at some hopefully obvious time in the past for past tense. Since most things use present tense like "is" or "costs," most things look at an object's properties now. That's my understanding, anyway.

Aside from Ritual, the other thing I'm aware of that looks at properties in the past is Treasure Map, because although it says "do"...

Treasure Map should say "did" to be clearer that it wants to look at the past.

[Donald X.]

2) Nothing -- the Estate wasn't gained.
3) +1 Card, +1 Action -- the Estate is an Action-Victory card in your hand.
4) A Gold -- the Estate is a Victory card in the trash.

These are correct.

I'm inclined to agree with you. I think the Estate should become yours again when it gets set aside from the trash, as opposed to waiting until it goes to your discard pile. This is mostly because the card that Inheritance itself set aside when you bought it became yours when you set it aside, so it seems that the act of setting aside a card that isn't yours makes that card yours.

Very tentatively, a trashed inherited-something Estate set aside due to Possession is still yours (and thus still whatever types). Adventures says a card stops being yours when it's trashed, but doesn't address this situation anyway. You don't "gain" it when putting it into your discard pile.

[Doom_Shark]

That makes sense to me, but that raises another question:

5) I possess you. "You" trash two treasure maps, setting them aside. Are they still trashed, counting for the "if you do" clause? And if so, then
6) The treasure map either a) loses track of the golds, or b) never technically gains them, but either way they go to my discard pile, not your deck, correct?

I'm pretty sure I'm right about the second one, but not as sure about the answer for the first.

Edit: Spelling

5. Quoted earlier in this thread, Treasure Map's intended meaning is "did", not "do", what matters is if you trashed 2 Treasure Maps or not. What happened to them after you trashed them has no bearing on the situation whatsoever.

6. Not sure what you mean by losing track of the Golds here, as nothing is trying to move the Golds. Treasure Map normally is "gain 4 Golds to the top of your deck", and that is replaced because of the would-gain; instead your opponent gains 4 Golds (to s discard pile, because Possession doesn't say otherwise).

Sorry, wasn't exactly sure about the interactions between the gain to top and would gain, and that is the reason I brought up the lose track rule. As for 5, I couldn't remember if possession read as set aside instead, so that it was never trashed to begin with, or when trashed, set aside.

[Jeebus]

Wow, I haven't been wrong that many times in one thread.

[AdrianHealey]

Watchtower trashes, afaik, after gaining, no?

So I am confused why you don't get +1 card, +1 action?

Or does it trash before gaining?
