With cards that can save trashed cards, I've thought of something.  Have the reaction part say "when you trash a card, you may reveal this.  If you do, set that card aside, and put it in your discard pile at the end of the current player's turn."  The only problem is, what happens with thief...

Not a new idea, and not the only problem.

One mechanical problem -- what happens if multiple people try to reveal the reaction?  Who gets the trashed card then?

Balance problems -- well, it can get really, really swingy with trashing attacks, particularly Saboteur.  There are already ways to steal Provinces (Possession + Amb/Masq; trashing attacks + Highway + Graverobber/Rogue) so maybe another way isn't so bad, but still -- it's something to think about.

What happens with Thief is:

1. Opponent plays Thief
2. You reveal and trash a Silver
3. You reveal your reaction
4. The Silver is set aside
5. Thief tries to gain the Silver for your opponent, but fails by losing track

Oh, didn't notice that!

Might be OK then?

There still is the balancing issue, though.  But it might still work, it would have to be playtested.

Well the specific issue I brought up is no longer a problem because it won't let you steal Provinces (except in specific cases with Possession). The self trash rescuer would then have a best case of comboing with tfb, which seems acceptable to me. In theory, at least.
