Opening Inn?

Given a 5/2 start, you can use the first $5 buy on an Inn and shuffle it into the deck. Then, there's a 5/6 probability that you'll draw the Inn turn 2. If you do, then your 2nd turn is guaranteed to be $3 (you draw the last card, reshuffle and discard two estates, leaving you with a hand of 3 copper and 1 estate) and your 3rd turn is likely to be a $5 (there are 4 Copper is your draw pile so depending on what you bought with the $3, it's probably around a 50% to hit $5 or better).

Is it usually worth it to open Inn in the hopes of getting really good opening cards? Or, would you just take the $5/2 instead of hoping for the $5/3/5?

I'd do it if inn/tunnel were on the board. However, at http://councilroom.com/openings, the only inn opening on the "good" list is inn/tunnel and it's ranked #705 :(

Inn is essentially a village+warehouse, neither of which is a great opening.

Embargo/inn? Seems like a long shot.

I had someone open Inn/Silver on a 5/2 start where I opened Sea Hag/silver. They won the curse split 7-3 :( though some of that was bad luck.

Depends on what is on the board, but courtyard/inn sounds pretty sweet to me. embargo/inn could be deadly on the right board. You are guaranteed to play your embargo T3!
