Secret History
Briefly this was like a Pawn when gained/trashed, only with tokens in place of + and +1 Action. I always like the idea of a when-gain that can draw cards, but it never survives, for the same reason: in the default situation, you don't want the cards. And then the triggered +1 Buy was problematic. So, no choice, it just gives you the other two.
