<p><strong>Yes</strong></p>

<p>Mine says you are gaining a card.  Watchtower says you can reveal the Watchtower from your hand and either trash or put the gained card on your deck.</p>

<p>Yes, you can.  The card you get from Mine is definitely <strong>gained</strong>, therefore you can react to it with Watchtower and put it on your deck (or trash it!) if you like.</p>

<p>There's not usually much reason to do so, but the cards don't actually conflict - you can use them both in this manner if you really want to.</p>

<p>When playing Mine while having a Watchtower in hand, can you put the upgraded treasure card on top of your deck instead of in your hand?</p>

When playing Mine while having a Watchtower in hand, can you put the upgraded treasure card on top of your deck instead of in your hand?

Yes, you can. The card you get from Mine is definitely **gained**, therefore you can react to it with Watchtower and put it on your deck (or trash it!) if you like.

There's not usually much reason to do so, but the cards don't actually conflict - you can use them both in this manner if you really want to.
