As worded, Frost has pretty bad antisynergy with junkers, given that all cards are gained onto your deck.
Summon->Armory->Cemetery on 5/2 Open
This was a really, really good start.
But I got those generals early game. I was also able to buy four colonies in one turn. And I beat my opponent by far. My opponent was the one who bought silver gold and provinces while I bought my cards. You should play that game that I posted and you will see what I mean. Of you open cursed coin/chapel that is very good, which is what I did. Cursed coin was how I was getting platinums on turns 5/6. I don't know how I could've won without those four generals that I was able to buy. I got a lot of provinces from them and they helped a lot with my engine. I love cursed coin! That card probably won the game for me, because I wouldn't have been able to get those platinums so then I wouldn't be able to get the generals. Kings crown is awesome. I used them for 2 cards 2 actions but they still counted for bank. With my crazy engines, bank was able to produce 20 a lot of times.
Town/Road: This seems like a pretty clear $5 to me. Playing a Town and then Road is better than Lab! Sure, you have to draw them together for that to happen, but this can even just be a regular Village or a Smithy if you double play the Road. I think all this extra functionality makes up for the early unreliability. The Road gain isn't even mandatory!
Really Bad Card Idea
Action - $2
When you play this, propose a card. If each other player agrees to it, play this as if it was that card. This is that card until it leaves play. If they do not, +1 Card, +1 Action.
There is a pair of siblings but they are in different expansions. Which expansions do the siblings belong in?
Getting your hands on low complexity promos like... Governor (depends on what style of complexity she dislikes).I agree with almost everything pops said, but Governor is not low-complexity in any way. I hate Governor, but mainly because I seem to be terrible with it.
Dangerous Experiment
Event
$7
Place your Radioactivity token on the Rats pile. For the rest of the game, when your Rats trash a card costing $2 or more, gain a Ratman from the Ratman pile.
Setup: Add Rats as an additional kingdom pile.
What is a Ratman???
I think in the chapel meme thread, it was something that trashed a rat, gained a rat to the top of your deck, and made your opponents discard a rat.
Pooka can be pretty good, but only if you buy it later after you have solid +action support.
Well, that's not true either. You should have Pooka before you have "solid +action support", because the main advantage of Pooka is that it makes you go through your deck super fast and that's actually a big deal and you want it as early as you can within reason (i.e. without putting a Curse into your deck t1). If you draw some of your Action cards dead, that's fine.
There's a 5$ thats very frequently worth grabbing the curse for on Cursed Gold boards in every game.
I'm still not totally sold on taking a Curse to open Pooka. I've had it work out a few times, but usually Pooka just doesn't work if you're opening with another Action, and with the Curse and only six initial trash targets (since you can't trash Cursed Gold), it can be tricky to line up with Coppers. Pooka can trigger unfortunate shuffles, and it loses its utility rapidly as you start buying other things. It's a great card to open with on paper, but it just hasn't come through often enough for me in practice.
What I'm really trying to say is I have no idea how to play Pooka.
Yeah. It's notable that the event that just functions as a 1-shot Den of Sin already costs $3 and is pretty decent. You pay $2 extra to get the Den permanently, that's a good deal. If Den didn't gain to hand, I think it would be about as good as Caravan.
Caravan [...] is basically Den of Sin [...] all those other aforementioned side benefits are removed as well.
This sounds to me like if you were underestimating the value of early speed-ups. It is far more than a side benefit if a card can be useful a whole shuffle earlier; the gap between gain-to-hand and play-next-shuffle is comparable to the gap between a T3 chapel and a T5 chapel.
