B) Chapel, Cellar, Woodcutter, Village, Spy, Smithy, Bureaucrat, Mine, Laboratory, Adventurer
Overall, I feel like engines in base games are surprisingly difficult to play, because there are lots of weak engines cards. I tried these games against bot without real success at building a good engine. Playing these games I noticed that the expansions made me learn things about engines that I had to unlearn with base game. The most important differences in base game are the lack of powerful $5 engine cards (the best is really Festival) and the lack of money in the form of action cards.
