Can someone please explain how to do the forum/trader infinite combo?

Make Forum cost $0, buy a Forum (getting your buy back), reveal Trader to gain Silver instead of Forum, repeat. Even once the Silver pile is empty you can reveal Trader and not gain the Forum.

If you have a (Goons|Merchant Guild) in play while you do this you can generate as many (VP|coin tokens) as you want (you still buy a card each time).

This only requires Trader, one of Goons/Merchant Guild, and any cost reducer. It seems like something that will most definitely come up relatively often. At least the Merchant Guild variety is not that good since it puts all those silvers in your deck and thus you won't really be able to use those tokens, and the Goons variety, well, that should just end in an opponent resign.

And forum. A four card combo, which is *super* rare.

Infiniten vp, lol.

To elaborate on what "*super* rare" means (because one person's *super* rare might not always be that different from another person's relatively often), it means that someone who has played 100 000 games of Dominion probably hasn't ever seen that combo in a randomly generated kingdom.

I still have never had TrFair+CH on the table.

3 card combo, which is hyper-rare, which is not infinite, which is still evil.

Play Council Room, play Pillage to let others have 4 Greens in their hand, play Lurker to gain Pillage.

[Accatitippi]

I've genuinely had Forum-Trader-Bridge-Tower, which is Goons' little brother in this instance.
I piled the Silvers, but didn't realize that doing that via Bridge-Forum would have been way faster than what I did, which still was pretty fast (37 Silvers and twoish provinces by turn 13 I think).

[TheOthin]

The first person to get there always empty the Forums after getting whatever giant # of VP. Why would they need to be able to end the game? The combo is no longer accessible by the opponent.

Oh, duh. So they might not be able to end the game; but they can at least empty both Silver and Forum piles. Then it could take up to 8 more turns to end the game after that.

Unless Bridge and King's Court (or a combination involving Ferry) is the method of cost reduction, there will already be a third pile with a maximum of 5 cards in it that costs $0. I think there will be very few games where this combo is pulled off but the game doesn't end that turn.

Then again, there will be very few games where you get the time to drain the entire Silver pile either...

Even if there is a $0 cost pile, you might not have enough buys left to empty it that turn.

Somebody please make a bracket where we get to rate super rare, hyper rare, very rare, etc.

How about this? Practical?

Annex & Possession
Possess your opponent, let him buy Annex to make his deck green. Taking <8>? No problem, he can't do the same to me. With Chancellor, Scavenger, Messenger, Scouting Party, it is more practical, I think.
