So "pay 1 as an additional cost" means that beyond whatever other costs the player is paying, including draining a domain for non-zero cost events, they're draining an additional domain to pay 1?

I do not believe that is correct.

 

The requirement is simply that you may pay an additional 1 - it doesn't matter where that additional 1 comes from. So, for example, if you have an event that costs 2, you could drain a single domain with 3 resources attached to pay the additional cost.

Neither of you are right; from the FAQ, section 2.15:

 

If a card states you must pay an
additional cost that cost is added to any
current costs of that card or effect. If
the additional cost is “pay 1” any card
with a cost paid by draining a domain
must increase the number of resources
by 1. If the card effect does not include
a cost that involves draining a domain
already on it, you must now drain a
domain with at least 1 resource on it.
 
So you have to have a domain with one more resource than you would normally require:  if you were playing Power Drain you couldn't drain a two domain and a one domain at the same time, you would have to drain a three domain. If you were playing zero cost event, you would have to drain a domain.

So it is. Makes me wish they'd chosen the phrasing "increase the cost," like on Lodge Defenses, which reads more plainly to me.

The perfect home for a Failed Initiate.
