Typically, as far as I've noticed, getting a turn 2 Province involves a Necro. So now that it's possible to turn your Estates into low-cost actions on turn 1, how many ways can you buy a Province? I found two and there may well be more. Remember you'll only have 4 cards to start your turn.

Edit: Travelling Fair opens things up quite a bit...

[heron]

I found Wishing Well and Death Cart.

Edits: You can get a colony with Mining Village.

I was disappointed to find that advisor doesn't quite work.

Magpie also works (for province).

Cool, didn't think Colony was doable. For Province I also noticed Ironmonger.

How does Death Cart work? If you Inheritance your first turn, your next turn is C-C-E-E at best.

Edit: Right, Borrow.

Whoa... I was not expecting that...

For Magpie and Wishing Well, where does the 8th coin come from that isn't one of the 7 coppers?

Ironmonger seems like it can give you 3 coins from playing it, and 4 Coppers in hand.

Don't all these just get 7? Probably I'm missing something.

Edit: oh, ok I get it. Well, Tournament.

[dghunter79]

Ironworks.

Also required in the Kingdom:

There's no player on your left to decide which one to discard, since it's a solo challenge. You carry out the card to the best of your ability, revealing 3 cards from your deck, skipping the line where the player chooses a card, skipping discarding it(since "that card" refers to nothing), and picking up the 3 cards you revealed.
So, Advisorx3, 7 Coppers buys Borrow and Province.

Fishing Village or Candlestick Maker guarantee a turn-3 Province.

[CavJes]

I don't think we really need spoiler tags as the solutions pile up; it seems more a light topic of interest. Speak up I guess if you feel keeping them around is better flavor.

A few that don't need Inheritance:

Turn 1: Buy Expedition with EE3C.
Turn 2: Draw up to E6C, Borrow-Baker Token(bread).

Turn 1: Travelling Fair into Death Cart with bread on 5C.
Turn 2: Death Cart, 2C, Borrow.

Turn 1: Travelling Fair into Throne Room and Poor House with Borrow-bread.
Turn 2: Draw with 2E.

[dghunter79]

Turn one buy Stonemason, overpay to gain Graverobber and Inn.

Turn one Save a Copper. Turn two six Coppers, Borrow, Token.

Turn one -- 5 Copper, Token,  Buy Borrow,  buy Traveling Fair, top-deck Rebuild, Copper.
Turn two -- Rebuild, 3 Copper. Rebuild Estate to Duchy. Buy Borrow, Mission.
Mission Turn -- Two Estates, Rebuild,  One Copper. Rebuild Duchy to Province.
(Governor works similarly: buy Governor instead of rebuild, gain Gold, remodel Gold on Mission turn.)

[dghunter79]

5/2 buy Traveling Fair, Borrow. Buy Copper, buy and top-deck Counting House.
Turn two -- Counting House, 2 Copper, Estate. Play Counting House to draw 6c from discard.

[dghunter79]

5/2
1-Borrow, Travelling Fair,  buy and top deck two Fool's Gold
2-two Fool's Gold, two Copper, buy Borrow, Province

Correct; and in case this needs any explanation, "the player to your left" is best interpreted as "the player who comes after you in turn order"; as opposed to a player in a physical location (because often the "player to your left" will not be physically on your left). You come after yourself in turn order, so it's you.

T1: Scouting Party/Silver(or Chancellor, or 3 cost giving +$2), discarding 3 Estates
T2: 4 Copper+Silver+Baker token+Borrow=Province

T1: Scouting Party/Smithy using Baker token, discarding 3 Estates
T2: 4 Copper+Smithy draws to 7 Copper+Borrow=Province

T1: Scouting Party/Envoy using Baker token, discarding 3 Estates
T2: 5 cards(4 Copper+Envoy), draw 3 Copper and Estate, Borrow for the Province.

T1: Scouting Party/Council Room using Baker token and Borrow, discarding 3 Estates
T2: 4 cards(3 Copper+Council Room), draw 4 Copper, Borrow for the Province.
T1: Scouting Party/Ball using Baker token and Borrow, discarding 3 Estates, gaining Magpie and Death Cart
T2: Draw 2 Copper, Magpie, and Death Cart. Magpie draws 2 Copper, Death Cart for $5, $9-$1 from Ball=$8 for Province (I really just wanted to use Ball here... Death Cart is just too strong)

Essentially, Scouting Party, then spend $3 for a card that gives $2, $4 for a card that gives $3, or $5 for a card that gives $4. Draw it, play it, buy Province.

[Kirian]

Turn one buy Stonemason, overpay to gain Graverobber and Inn.

This is particularly brilliant.

[Davio]

With $7 (Borrow and Baker's coin):
Buy 1 Stonemason into 2 Poor Houses ($3)
Buy 1 Stonemason into Crossroads and Beggar ($4)

Turn 2:
Draw 2 PH, CR, Beggar

You now have $8 from the PH and $3 from Beggar, buy Colony

[Simon (DK)]

With $7 (Borrow and Baker's coin):
Buy 1 Stonemason into 2 Poor Houses ($3)
Buy 1 Stonemason into Crossroads and Beggar ($4)

Turn 2:
Draw 2 PH, CR, Beggar

You now have $8 from the PH and $3 from Beggar, buy Colony

You only have 1 buy on turn 1.

[Davio]

Hmm, I somehow forgot to pay for Travelling Fair.

That takes $2 off.

So after Borrow and TF you have $5 to spend with 2 buys, meaning you can get Stonemason into Squire and Beggar ($4) and a single Poor House.
With Squire ($1), choose actions, play PH ($4) and Beggar ($3), total $8.

Enough for a Province, not for a Colony.

Where are you getting two Buys to pick up both Scouting Party and an Action? It costs $2; there's no way you can get it and Council Room and Travelling Fair with only at most $7.

[Mic Qsenoch]

Scouting Party gives a buy.

Well that takes care of that, doesn't it.

[dghunter79]

T1: Scouting Party/Ball using Baker token and Borrow, discarding 3 Estates, gaining Magpie and Death Cart
T2: Draw 2 Copper, Magpie, and Death Cart. Magpie draws 2 Copper, Death Cart for $5, $9-$1 from Ball=$8 for Province (I really just wanted to use Ball here... Death Cart is just too strong.

I think Procession and Death Cart can get a Colony? Ten from Death Cart, two Copper, -$1 Coin Token?

Also:
5 Copper and Baker Token
Buy Borrow, Traveling Fair, Ball gaining Procession and Messenger, and Ruined Village, top-decking all three cards.
Draw these, and Estate.
Play Ruined Village.  Procession-Messenger, discarding deck, trashing Messenger and gaining Butcher.
After the -$1 Coin Token you have $3, three buys, and two actions in play.
Buy Borrow, Mission, and Alms, gaining Peddler.
Shuffle
Mission turn: -1 Card Token, Draw Procession, Butcher, Peddler, Estate.  Procession-Butcher, trashing Peddler on the second play and spending 3 coin tokens to gain Colony.

Only requires 5 events, 4 Kingdom cards, Baker somewhere, a Looter somewhere, and Ruined Village as the top Ruins! 

And if you want to go crazy and maximize VP, you could Butcher the Estate into a Tunnel, as well as gain Border Village and Duchy off the Procession.  EDIT: And you can use Alms on the Mission turn to gain a second Tunnel.

Meaning, I think the current record for most VP at the end of turn two is the above 19... One Colony, one Duchy, two Tunnels and two Estates.

[AJD]

Tournament's gotta be the best one, right? Ordinarily even if you could get a turn-2 Province you might not want one because it doesn't build your engine; but with three Tournament-Estates in your deck a Province is actively helpful to your engine.
