use deelve 3 tiems on turnz 1 ande 2 to gain thre silvers, then draw al threee plus too copppers to purshace you're very own TURN THRE PROVINCE!

A real question is how many ways there are to do this...so many cards make this possible now.

Also, I didn't need to buy any card 8) (except Province...)

You can empty the supply on turn 1. http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=17800.0

Do you?
Setup: Pooka, Baker or Borrow, some shuffle luck.
T1: 3C 2E: Expedition
T2: 4C 1CG 2E: Baker token or Borrow - buy Province

To do it specifically on Turn 3 just skip your first turn I guess.

If you want to literally not gain any card that isn't Province, open 2/5 with Borrow and Baker; use the Baker token to buy Expedition T1 and then Borrow for the Province T2.

A: So, have you come across Dominion before?
B: I've heard of it. Let's give it a go.
A: Ok, I'll go through the rules quickly.... Now let's deal out a random kingdom.
B: Cool, I think I've got it. I'm sure it'll all make sense after a turn or two anyway, do you want to go first?
A: Let's see, what have we got in this kingdom, Villa, Fortress, Watchtower...
(few minutes later)
A: ...and the supply is empty so I'll stop there. Thanks for playing.
B: Don't mention it. What other games have you got?

To be Fair, you need perfect shuffles to do it.

How can perfect shuffles turn you into a project that provides extra buys?

Uh... if Pooka's in the Kingdom you start with Cursed Gold in your deck. It's simpler just to buy a Gold on T1/T2 and draw Gold, Cursed Good, Copper, Copper, something on T3.

Chris's entire point is that you don't have to buy any cards before the Province.

I was specifically trying to contracdict the hint that you needed to buy cards to do it.

OIC!

I guess you're also trying to minimise shuffle luck, there? Otherwise, just draw Cursed Gold and 4*Copper then spend your starting Coffers. (-8

That still implies you bought Province as a card.

How about: 5 Copper + Baker token + Borrow T1 -> buy Travelling Fair, buy Ball for Remodel and Skulk, topdecking the Gold and Remodel. T2 -> Remodel Gold into Province.
