You may return this to its pile to gain a card costing exactly more than it.

Way of the Butterfly is a Way from Menagerie. It is similar to Upgrade in that it gains a card costing more than another card, but instead of trashing the card, it simply returns it to the Supply.

[edit] FAQ

[edit] Official FAQ

You only gain a card if you manage to return the card to its pile. A non-Supply card (like Horse) can return to its pile; a card with no pile, such as Necropolis (from Dark Ages), fails to return to its pile. The card you gain comes from the Supply, and can be any type; if there is no card in the Supply costing exactly more than the returned card, you do not gain one.

[edit] Secret History

At first you trashed the card. That's no good with and Adventures tokens. Also I gave it an anti-Throne wording.
