I recently played these two cards and I was surprised that they do, in fact, combo. I would have guessed that they wouldn't but I'd like to understand why.
Craft Teacher
Each time after you build the major improvement Joinery, Pottery, and Basketmaker's Workshop, you can play up to 2 occupations without paying an occupation cost.
Saddler
Each time after you build a major improvement, you can pay 1 food to plow 1 field.
1. Craft Teacher played
2. a) Build Pottery
b) After Pottery, play 2 free occupations using Craft Teacher after the Major, one of which is Saddler
c) Here I can plow a field off of Saddler
To me it seems like the Saddler would have needed to be in play before I built the Pottery for it to trigger. But it is both played and activated "after you build".
How do I interpret this and why does it work this way?
