What would a "Legacy" variant look like?

(If you've not heard of Risk Legacy, here's a link: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/105134/risk-legacy )

I was just wondering what it might be like to attempt a campaign/legacy mechanic with Dominion.  Sadly, I am unfamiliar with Risk Legacy beyond the basic concept, so I'm not sure how it's balanced...it seems it would be difficult to have a satisfying evolution of the game that would be fair to both winners and losers.  Still, there could be some interesting mechanics with Dominion....although most of them would change the game drastically.  Something like:
-Pick a card to guarantee in the next set
-Start with a certain card
-Zaps
-Vetoes
-A certain card is cheaper/costlier just for you
-Start with a "princed" card

I don't know, is this a remotely viable idea?

The only realistic options would seem to be allowing you to have some control over the set of cards for the next game. Any of your other suggestions, or anything you do to give you an advantage in the next game, would just make the next game way too easy for you.

Play two non-prosperity games, then play the third game using the decks from the non-prosperity games mashed together for a colony games without plats

Yes, but each half of a Possession card magically becomes a Scout.
