FAQ
Official FAQ
- When you play this, you get +, trash a card from your hand (mandatory), and then for the rest of the turn, trashing a card from your hand will give you +.
- This is cumulative, even if the same Priest is played multiple times (such as with Scepter).
- For example if you play two Priests and trash two Coppers, you will get + total: + from each play of Priest, and + that the first Priest gives you for the second Priest trashing a card.
- The bonus works even if the card was not trashed from your hand; for example you will get + for trashing an Acting Troupe due to playing it, or for trashing a card from the Supply with Lurker (from Intrigue).
Other rules clarifications
- If you trash a card to Sewers due to trashing a card to Priest, you do not get + from that Priest, as Sewers trashes a card before Priest's producing effect begins.

Play a third Priest, get +, trash a Silver (you ran out of Coppers), get + from the first Priest and + from the second Priest. See how it goes? Try to have enough stuff to feed them.
Secret History
This started out giving you an Artifact if you trashed a card costing or more; the Artifact had you draw a card each time you trashed a card. Sometimes the Artifact felt really important, and it sucked to have to eat your deck to fight over it. I tried changing the condition to "if you trashed a card that hadn't been trashed yet," then dropped the Artifact, and switched to getting a bonus per trash right on the card. The bonus was + first, but I also tried +1 Coffers for comparison. It gets rid of some tracking but I liked + better.
