Gain
From DominionStrategy Wiki
To gain a card is to add it to your deck (that is, all cards you own, rather than just your draw deck). Without specification, gained cards go into your discard pile. The most common way to gain cards is through buying them, though there are other ways, mostly through gainer cards. It is also possible to add cards to your deck without gaining them, via Masquerade or via exchanging a Traveller. Some cards have an effect when they are gained, and a few cards have an effect when another card is gained, or would be gained.
Normally the player does not get to use the card when he gains it, except:
Silver gained by Trading Post from Intrigue Passed Card gained by Masquerade from Intrigue Gold or Silver gained by Explorer from Seaside Card gained by playing Transmogrify from Adventures Silver gained by Rocks from Empires
Official Rules
- When a player gains a card, he takes the gained card (usually from the Supply) and puts it onto his Discard pile (unless the card says to put it elsewhere).
- The player does not get to use the card when he gains it.
