Apparently, all official cards using "for" or "to" wordings are optional, that is "You may trash this for +2Vp.". All mandatory cards apparently still use the older "if you do" wording: "Trash this. If you do, +2VP."

If you do: +2VP."I used to not care about this because I feel it's a Dominion specific thing, but people insisted it was misleading to write "Discard a card to draw a card.". Make of this what you wish.

Excellent, thank you.In my Antiquities Fanspansion, I have an altVP with "Trash to gain VPs" and didn't want it to be King's Court + altVP = 5 billion points.

People are always freaking out over cards being strong with King's Court. Cards are strong with King's Court. That's what King's Court does. Like Possession and Fortress, you should usually ignore if something feels overpowered with that card, unless it's downright broken (which admittedly is a matter of perception, but I wouldn't call +4 more VP broken).Either way, have you compared your card to Distand Lands yet?

And there's plenty of effects stronger than Throne Room + Tactician (if it worked).

There are lots of ways to achieve this other than Throne Room.
