− | * | + | * {{Card|Cellar}}, {{Card|Oracle}}, {{Card|Storeroom}}, and {{Card|Storyteller}} were originally phrased as +Cards, but were re-worded in later printings to be "draw". Go by whichever wording is printed on the cards you are using. |
− | * Way of the Chameleon can be used on cards without any +Cards or +{{Cost|}} (e.g. {{Card|Chapel}}) or cards with equal +Cards and +{{Cost|}} (e.g. {{Card|Market}}) even though this would normally have no effect. | + | * Way of the Chameleon can be used on cards without any +Cards or +{{Cost|}} (e.g., {{Card|Chapel}}) or cards with equal +Cards and +{{Cost|}} (e.g., {{Card|Market}}) even though this would normally have no effect. This will still override {{Card|Enchantress}}. |
− | + | * Cards that give choices (e.g. {{Card|Courtier}}) give you bonuses in order listed. So if you use Way of the Chameleon on Courtier, and choose +{{Cost|3}} (which becomes +3 Cards) and {{Card|Gold}}, you gain the {{Card|Gold}} after drawing. | |
− | + | * If a card you play would activate another card's +Cards / +{{Cost}}, that won't be affected by Way of the Chameleon. For example, if you play {{Card|Lurker}} as Way of the Chameleon and trash a {{Card|Cultist}}, you still get +3 Cards from doing so. And if you play {{Card|Herb Gatherer}} as Way of the Chameleon and play a {{Card|Gold}}, you still get +{{Cost|3}}. | |
− | + | * Similarly, Boons are not affected by Way of the Chameleon. So if you play {{Card|Druid}} as Way of the Chameleon and receive {{Boon|The Field's Gift}}, you'll get +1 Action and +{{Cost|1}}. | |

|Text=At first you could mix up the four basic +'s any which way. It's too hard to communicate what happens with +2 of something - can you split it up or not - in the space available, plus it was too many options. I fixed both things by having it just exchange cards and {{Cost|}}. Then I added "this turn" so you didn't have tracking on [[duration]]s. | |Text=At first you could mix up the four basic +'s any which way.
