The archetypal example of this rule is the interaction between {{Card|Ironworks}} and the {{Card|Trader|oi=2|early version of Trader}}. If you would gain a card with Ironworks, and then reveal Trader to gain a {{Card|Silver}} instead, you never actually gained anything with Ironworks, so Ironworks fails to give a bonus effect based on the type of the card gained. Since the 2020 revision of Trader, however, the rule no longer applies to it, since the revised version of {{Card|Trader}} does not prevent you from gaining a card. | The archetypal example of this rule is the interaction between {{Card|Ironworks}} and the {{Card|Trader|oi=2|early version of Trader}}.
