As announced in the title, at the start of my 9th turn, I still can not buy any key card for $5.
I looked a bit in the log and the only thing I could find was:
turn 4 maybe silver instead of workers village?
wizards turn 6: I should put copper/silver or silver/workers village on top of the library, to maybe buy a card for $5 in my next 5 card turn.

what do you think?
Thanks for help.

Turn 7 You could just play Horse traders to get to $5.
Instead you made 2 village, remodel and the HT miss the reshuffle.
To gain Silver and Remodel Copper into Estate.

Open Horse Traders/Silver.

Opening remodel is awkward when hitting $5 is this important and there is no 2-cost you want in your deck.
You need a lot of luck for it to work out (=hit estate the first two times), and even if it does works out the result is not game-breaking compared to the silver/horse traders opening.

I don't really like the Remodel open. You have relatively few key $4 engine components, and with Catacombs, Journeyman, and Horse Traders you can handle a few Estates. Meanwhile not hitting $5 sucks. So you really want Silver / HT here.

From there you get a Ghost Ship and then probably mostly WV / Journeyman
