About the Philosopher’s Stone. Do you count the cards in your hand as well?
probably not
Cards like Workshop or Ironworks can’t buy cards with a Potion cost, right?
correct also cards that say exactly one more or less can not be transferd to no potion cards
1) No, you don’t count cards in hand.
2) Correct, you can’t. The potion is a parallel cost, and X coins + a potion is not included in “up to X coins.”
Error possession he should be you.
it seems like this set doesn’t play well with other sets unless you have powerful cards like alchemist most should just be ignored since the potions slow you down .
