very nice. I originally thought you would only need a 15 card BM deck, but now I see you can use many more. From now on the BM deck can have as many cards in it as you like, as long as they all have a use. Otherwise you could put all the cards in there just to raise Pstone a little bit. will edit OP. some possible improvements:
play all the counterfeits on each other first. This gives you the same number of bank plays, but you can play two banks with all 10 counterfeits in play, and none with only one. You also get more total counterfeit plays for 19 coins instead of 10.
you don't mention it, but I assume young witch is in the BM, and fool's gold is the bane.
HOP-mandarin is better. If you put cultist in the supply and watchtower in the BM you can play a bunch of treasures, gain a mandarin, then re-draw treasures by gaining cultists and trashing them with watchtower. I'm not sure how to do this optimally, but you can do this multiple times by topdecking several HOPs and drawing them with cultists. This is only limited by the 30 cards that cultist can draw, plus venture.
I think you forgot to subtract for buying mint. Or did you take a mandarin?
The base treasures are limited by the number that you would play with normally, (60 copper, 40 silver, etc.)
