+1 Card on King's Court
+1 Buy on Lurker
a Watchtower in hand
a King's Court, a Lurker and a Mandarin in Trash
2 Platinums in play
buy Gamble to play King's Court (Draw a Lurker via +1 Card token)
play this Lurker three times, gain Lurker (top), King's Court (top), Mandarin (trash)
gaining Mandarin topdecks 2 Platinums
buy Gamble twice to play them
buy Bonfire to trash a King's Court and a Lurker
Here we gain 10$ and 3 Buys by spending 9$ and 1 Buy. The board is now identical to the begging. That is an infinite loop.
After you’ve bought the Bonfire, how do you restart the loop?
Well, you buy Gamble and so on
Yes, I see, having played the Platina mid-loop. Neat - and only requires KC, Lurker, Watchtower, Mandarin, a card that gives tokens, Colony/Platinum and two events!
Actually, Platinums are not necessary because we can just replace them by bunch of Golds. Tokens can also be omitted because we can do like KC(gamble)-KC-Lurker-Margrave-Lurker. We can do similar things via Toil. Furthermore, we don't even need Mandarin; if we played some number of Priests, we can afford to buy Gamble and Bonfire by Bonfire itself (although I don't like infinite loops that depend on Priests).
