I just realized something: Wayfarer's variable cost would mean that if you gain it with Populate, and you have a Livery in play, the only way you can get a Horse from the Wayfarer gain is if you choose to gain it first, and if there's any previously-gained cards that turn, the last one was $4 or more.  The reason for this is that the Horse is gained immediately after the card that caused it to be gained.  So, if Wayfarer is not the first card gained from Populate, the last-gained card would be either a Horse from the previous Populate gain, or a card less than $4 gained by Populate.  Either way, the last-gained card is guaranteed to be no more than $3 if Wayfarer is not the first card you gain.  So aside from the obvious case of top-decking, that's another situation where the order would be relevant

What is the obvious case of top-decking?

What is the obvious case of top-decking?

For example: if you have a Watchtower in hand, or a Tracker in play, by choosing the order you gain the cards, you can choose what order the cards are topdecked.  If you're topdecking more than five cards that way, that can have a practical effect

Or, actually, if one of the cards that Populate's gaining is Villa, that's another case where the order of topdecking would matter, if you have at least one card with draw left in your hand - or if you have Way of the Chameleon out, letting you swap out Villa's +$1 for +1 card!
