Post by: majiponi on October 21, 2022, 12:38:26 pm
Empty all Supplies on turn 1 without spending an Action.

Supply: Stonemason, Importer, Cavalry, Guildmaster, Livery, Pooka
Landscapes: Way of the Butterfly, City-state
Starting Hand: 4 Coppers, 1 Cursed Gold

play a Cursed Gold
gain a Curse
play 4 Coppers
buy a Stonemason, overpaying $5
- gain a Stonemason
--- gain a Livery
----- spend 2 Favors to play it
--- gain a Guildmaster
----- spend 2 Favors to play it
----- gain a Horse
------- +1 Favor
------- spend 2 Favors to play it(as Butterfly)
--------- return it to gain a Cavalry
----------- +1 Favor
----------- +2 Cards, +1 Buy
----------- gain a Horse
------------- +1 Favor
--------- spend 2 Favors to play that Cavalry(as Butterfly)
----------- return it to gain a Guildmaster
------------- +1 Favor
------------- gain a Horse
--------------- +1 Favor
------------- spend 2 Favors to play it

Now we can gain any Action cards to play them immediately.
And we can still upgrade the Stonemason we bought.
Butterfly it to pile out cards!


Hint: Game #110132647.

Hard Mode: from a single buy.

Empty the Supply on turn 1.  My solution does not spend any Actions.

Supply: Stonemason, Importer, Cavalry, Guildmaster, Livery, Pooka
Landscapes: Way of the Butterfly, City-state
Starting Hand: 4 Coppers, 1 Cursed Gold

play 4 Coppers
play a Cursed Gold
gain a Curse
buy a Stonemason, overpaying $5
- gain a Stonemason
--- gain a Livery
----- spend 2 Favors to play it
--- gain a Guildmaster
----- spend 2 Favors to play it
----- gain a Horseä
------- +1 Favor
------- spend 2 Favors to play it(as Butterfly)
--------- return it to gain a Cavalry
----------- +1 Favor
buy a Guildmaster
- gain a Guildmaster
--- +1 Favor
--- spend 2 Favors to play it

Now we can gain any Action cards to play them immediately.
And we have a Horse to gain.

How do you get all the supply cards costing at most $3, and all Provinces?

Gaining and Butterflying Cavalry repeatedly should give you unlimited +Buys, but you only have $60 from 10 Guildmasters and Livery played as themselves. That's not enough to buy 8 Provinces, 8 Estates and 60 Stonemasons (Butterflying 10 of them into Importers and 40 into Silvers), and Butterfly'ing Horses only gets you cards in the price range $4 to $6 with the given kingdom.

I think you need to also require a Looter, Poor House, a $6 Action and a $7 Action in the kingdom, so that Butterfly's "Upgrading" can reach all price points for free. Then you only have to buy all the $0 cards and can Butterfly the Ruins to get all $3- cards in the supply. Fortunately there's exactly four free kingdom card spaces still available. :-)

Good question.  I thought I need more Kingdom cards to wipe out.


We don't have to have all cards in deck.  Stonemason useless cards to gain more cards.

Pile out Golds.
Play all of the Horses normally.
Infinite Buys lets you gain 53 Coppers.
Buy a Province.  Butterfly Horse you gain to gain a Cavalry (Butterfly it to return), which let's you gain another Horse.  Repeat until you draw everything.
Play all Coppers and Golds.
Buy a Province to wipe out all Pookas.
Draw them, using Horses and Cavalries.
Buy a Stonemason, overpaying $2.
Gain 3 Stonemasons to play, trash Pookas for Silvers.
Repeat it twice.
Buy all Silvers.
Buy a Province to draw them.
Play them.
Buy all Curses, Estates, Importers and Provinces and wipe out everything!


EDIT: We even don't have to trash a card to pile out.  I will upgrade the log.
