Re: Atomic Transmutation
Yes, but if Andrew, Devin, or myself say it, it really doesn't matter if the online consensus is different. It's our responsibility to hand out official rulings for Munchkin.
As for other interpretations: By giving a very specific timing, it's clear that it does not mean at any time during your turn prior to Charity, but just before. And, by specifically saying one card, and not a card, it indicates that you can do this for only one card. To do what your friend implies, the wording would have to be something like, "During your turn, before Charity, you can discard a Door from your hand and draw a face-down Treasure, or vice versa. You can do this as often as you like." Adding to the argument against this other interpretation, it is way too powerful.
Again, the wording supports the interpretation Andrew and I have presented. There are plenty of other cases where you'll find that a once-per-turn restriction exists but hasn't been explicitly stated in a separate sentence.
