Answer: Yes (I think) -- gain Moneylender w/ University, play WT (drawing nothing), play other WT, draw Moneylender, play Moneylender-Copper, gain 2 HoP's with 2 HoP's, gain 2 Duchies w/ 2 other HoP's, buy 2 Estates, win by 1 VP.

Gain Ratcatcher, then you can gain 2 Provinces with your 2 HoPs instead of Duchies because you still have the Copper and you can still buy a single Estate. This assumes that I can count.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Reserve cards do not count as "in play" when they're played -- they do when they're called.  And therefore don't contribute to HoP.  So depending on what you drew with the RCer, you might only have 7 uniques in play (in which case I wouldn't be guaranteed a win).
Just use the 2nd Edition Moneylender and don't trash the copper ;)

from about 10:30 or so (the start of my last turn). Can you find the winning line (you probably can)?

My deck was Copper, Ruined Market, Death Cart, Counterfeit, Count, Vagrant, Fortress(x4), Hunting Grounds(x2), Mercenary(x2).

Tricky one.

On that last turn, when you had 5 cards remaining in your deck, you could have trashed two Fortresses with Mercenary.  Play two Fortresses.  Either Vagrant is the bottom card in your deck (as was the case), or you can play Vagrant to draw your last card.  You have three actions remaining, which you can use to play Death Cart, trashing Hunting Grounds to gain three more Estates; and Ruined Market.  You can then play Counterfeit.  You have 10 coins and 3 buys, which is enough to buy Death Cart (emptying the Ruins), and the last two Estates.

I believe it's possible.

Gain Fortress, topdeck whatever.
Play Fortress - draw whatever
Play Stonemason - trashing Fortress - gaining Stonemason x2
Play Fortress - draw Stonemason
Play Stonemason - trashing Fortress - gaining Stonemason x2
Play Fortress - draw Stonemason
Play Stonemason - trashing Transmogrify - gaining Stonemason x2
Pay Silver x2 - buy Fortress


I think there are also some lines to gain points, too.  But, I'm not in the mood for extra credit.

Gain Stonemason, topdeck Province (SM 5).
Play Fortress, draw Province.
Play Stonemason, trash Apprentice, gain 2 Fortresses into hand.  (F 0, 2 empty piles)
Play Stonemason, trash Fortress, gain 2 Stonemasons.  (SM 3)
Play Treasures, buy Stonemason, overpay by 2, gain 2 Stonemasons. (SM 0, 3 empty piles)
You win!

You can 4 pile by gaining Village off Artisan and doing combinations of Stone/Village and Stone/Stone gains and drawing, making sure to use Apprentice at some time when it can draw 2-3 cards, then overpaying to get the last 2 Fortresses. It's more complicated to diagram out since there are different cases depending on whether you draw Village or Stonemason first but all the cases work. You can get at least 1 Estate along the way, maybe 3 is possible with certain draws.

I tried to find an ending that emptied the Transmogs but didn't see one.

Could I have won here?  I believe there was just the 1 Copper in my discard pile.  I don't think I could have.

EDIT: What about if I still had my Hunting Grounds in hand (I had to play it earlier because it was my only draw card, but I think I could have avoided playing it had I drawn my Patrol earlier)?

I agree that it is impossible.  You don't have enough gains.  You could Forge a Sage (or something) into the last Farmers' Market to get an additional buy, but the only pile you'd have enough buys to empty is the Fortune pile, which you have insufficient money to empty.  Having a Hunting Grounds doesn't help, because you'd have to use the Forge on that to get the Estates, and then you still need 5 buys to empty piles, and you only have 3.

It looks like it only works if you own the cards that were used in that game, btw.

I've got one of moderate difficulty.  If you want to play it out:
Game Id: 3381502
Decision: 198

Rabid's last turn was really complicated.  For extra credit, you can roll back even further and see if you can end it on his turn!

Procession: Butcher. Trash Butcher+ 3 coin tokens for province. Trash Loan + 3 coin tokens into hunting grounds.  Trash the played butcher and gain hunting grounds. 2 piles empty, 26 - 20.  Play Mountebank, curses empty.  Buy province, 26-25 win.

I've tried a few times, still can't win as Rabid.
If you don't have 2 x curse in hand it is fairly easy.
I keep coming up 1 gain or 1 point short.

In one of sangatsu's videos I found this endgame scenario. sangatsu's discard pile contains 3 Coppers. Find a guaranteed win.

Presumably all the Curses are in the trash (i.e. the opponent is guaranteed to not have one in hand)?

In the game the opponent didn't have one in hand, but there is a guaranteed win even if they do.
