If you trash a potion card with a salvager, should you get a potion as money too ? I believe so, but Goko seems to think otherwise.

[AJD]

You don't. The Alchemy rules state this explicitly about Salvager.

[TheMirrorMan]

Thank you!

Salvager specifically says "cost (in coins)", which means that it ignores all non-coin costs. The same happens with Forge.

Salvager does not say this. It just has "+{an empty coin symbol} equal to its cost."

That'll teach me to make a comment like that without checking the card. I know Forge does say "in coins", though. I guess a better comparison is Apprentice, which does say +1 Card per {coin symbol} it costs.

Apprentice specifically mentions Potions, giving 2 cards for each P cost.
Trashing a Familiar gets you 5 cards.

[Warfreak2]

Rather, Apprentice gives +2 Cards if it has a Potion in its cost, which isn't quite the same for fan cards that cost PP.

No gratuitous edge-casing in the Rules Questions forum, dammit!

Man, I was playing IRL yesterday and tried to Forge an Alchemist and two Coppers into an Alchemist. Fortunately my sharp-eyed opponent—playing with Forge for the first time and Potions for the third time—correctly pointed out I couldn't do that.

(I almost feel bad for going on to beat her with my Alchemist/multi-Goons engine. Almost.)
