Mission + Baths: $4 for 4VP.

Charm + Peddler/Prince: Charms can gain you multiple Provinces.

Death Cart + Advance: Pick up lots of fodder to gain expensive actions easily.
Charm really works well with prince because if you play any actions you cannot get province and it is really hard to get more than 1 crown in play and still have 8.

Capital+Herbalist: Don't discard your insane 6$.
Capital+Mandarin: Same here. Not quite a combo, because you don't want that many mandarins.
Capital+Mint: Same here, but you'll be a bit sad to trash your 5-cost just to avoid the debt.
Capital+Crown: Get your 6 twice before discarding is really nice.
Capital+Counterfeit: Awesome. Get 6 twice, without punishment, which is more than enough compensation for trashing a 5$.

Noteworthy that Capital also gives a Buy, so with Crown and Counterfeit, you get two Buys (three with Counterfeit).

I want to make some snarky comment here about real world finance wheedling money out of nothing and running away from the debt...

Possess your opponent, buy Messenger, get 3 cards for the price of 1!

Coin of the realm + Legionary
Coin of the realm counters Legionary by letting you keep two draw cards instead of a village and a draw card. If you have 4 coins of the realm and terminal draw you can usually draw your deck despite Legionary Harsh attack. Remember to alternate your coins of the realm.

Possession - Messenger

Possess your opponent, buy Messenger, get 3 cards for the price of 1!

I don't think this works.

Possessed player buys Messenger, triggering its on-buy effect.  Messenger says:

"gain a card costing up to $4, and each other player gains a copy of it."

The possessed player chooses a card, but never gains it since Possession redirects everything that would be gained.  Therefore, there is no "it" for Messenger to copy, so each other player gains nothing.

Raze + tunnel
This is probably bad but
Raze golds to reveal 6 cards into your hand. Put raze or gold into your hand and rinse and repeat.

You would still get an extra $4 without giving your opponent(s) one.

Well, in that case it's essentially a free Messenger with your $4 card.  If you wanted a free Messenger, that can be good - but really, why do you want Messenger in a Possession game?  You want to use your terminal space on Possessions.

Legionary/Masqerade.

Legionarys attack is already brutal by itself, but you can still keep some village/smithy-stuff to start with. The threat of a subsequent masq makes it very dangerous to do so, and the attack becomes a real pain.

I predict Legionary is going to be almost as infuriating as Torturer when it is activated.

It's worse because you can't just gain all the curses and play count or forge or buy donate

All true. You still end up with a 3 card hand, but man, you could draw something better, but it has to be almost certainly worse.

This works even better with Watchtower.

Ferry / Band of Misfits

You can Ferry a BoM so it's only $3, so that you can gain them easily.  But then when you play the BoM's, they can only be played as $2's (if there are any $2's).  You can then later move the Ferry token to a different pile, then now your BoM's are more useful.  So the question is: When do you want to make that transition?  It's nice that they're cheap, but bad that they're useless; then later, it's nice that they're useful and you have a lot of them, but that came with the opportunity cost of not being able to reap their benefits until now.

Example game:
http://gokosalvager.com/static/logprettifier.html?http://dominion-game-logs.s3.amazonaws.com/game_logs/20160602/log.0.1464902019423.txt
In this game, I didn't even realize the BoM would only be able to be played as $2's until I played one, haha (I've also made the similar mistake with Border Village -- not realizing that you can't gain a $5 with your Ferry'd BV).  Hermit to gain BoM easily.

Capital + Storyteller

Play a storyteller with capital for 6 extra cards.  By itself, this isn't anything special since it still gives you debt, but if you can find a way around the debt via a megaturn or just not buying things, it can be powerful.  To illustrate, with artificer you can draw your deck with storyteller+capital and use artificer to gain more of each of these cards.  Once you get going, you can just start gaining provinces with artificer and drawing back the cards you discarded with storyteller+capital.  I realize that Storyteller + Artificer is itself a strong combo, but Capital really seems to do a lot with it, keeping you from having to buy more than a couple other treasures.

I mostly just like the idea of accruing a huge pile of debt that you never intend to pay back.
