[edit] FAQ
[edit] Official FAQ
- This can only gain cards from the Supply.
- You can react with this to any gained card with 2 or more types; it can be a card that was bought, or a card gained some other way, such as via a Falconer.
- You can do this regardless of who gained the card - you or anyone else - and regardless of whose turn it is.
- The types are the words on the bottom line – including Action, Attack, Curse, Duration, Reaction, Treasure, and Victory (with more in other expansions).
- If you gain a Falconer to your hand - such as via Artisan - you can react to that gain and play it, since it has two types.

[edit] Secret History
This started as a Smithy you could play when someone gained a particular thing - first a card they had a copy of in play, then when they gained either this or a 3rd card on their turn. I found it just too hard to pay attention to when they got a 3rd card. At the same time the set was packed with card-drawing, it didn't need more. Some people were sad to see it go, but I switched it to gaining a cheaper card to hand, Matt's suggestion, and then found a better reaction condition for it.
