Is Ancient Wine's 'gain cards directly to your hand' ability mandatory?

Replies read the wording as mandatory, but one disputes it and there is no ruling.

Yes, as far as the replies go. Its text has no 'may', unlike the Highlander mech's ability, so it applies whenever you gain a card. Dark Prophet Staff cannot then activate cards that Ancient Wine has put in your hand.
