Trivia
Preview
Embassy is dull but okay; it lost out on numbers. It was a borderline card that people really didn't need to exist.
Wheelwright is unrelated. You discard a thing to gain a thing. Another way to discard those Tunnels and Weavers. And note that it's the second new way to gain cards, for the set where cards do things when you gain them.
Secret History
This tried out for Seaside first, but was a good fit here, where it can activate when-discard abilities, or discard expensive cards that came with stuff.
