Final score: 2-0 (obviously could be much higher)



I am also now 95% confident that we can also pull of the Empty the Supply in 1 Turn starting from the position after the second Fortress play. Working out a few details still, but I'll note the following improvements that can already be made:

There are two empty slots in the kingdom, but we can actually make that five - Death Cart is not needed for setup (and can be any action we choose to have with our Library and Border Villages), and by including Black Market, we can stick Baker, Pooka, and Young Witch in the BM deck and are now using 6 of 11 slots.

Nice I will try to come up with a solution with only 4 events so that I can try on ShIT when Nocturne gets released.

But we don't have the Library or the Death Cart payload to make it work from here. I haven't seen a way to get the Library in hand faster, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.

I'm fairly certain the other four Events are necessary; at least until we find out there is an Heirloom that is an Action, or some other shenanigans as yet to be revealed.

I think I've got a way to empty the supply. Need to work out the details. But the big picture goal is:

Extra Kingdom Cards: s = Stonemason, p = Procession, o = Band of Misfits, g = Grand Market, k = King's Court, m = Black Market

Stonemason replaces Death Cart in the above method.

Hand: sbbbbbb
Play: s (b -> oo), b, b
Hand: oobbb
Play:
  o as p
    o as s (b -> oo)
    o as s (b -> oo)
    o -> bl
  b, l
Hand: oooobbb

From here we can start to chain Band of Misfits as Procession and gain a bunch of cards, including King's Court; Grand Market is for an additional $6 target of Procession and to generate money for Black Market and our next buy phase (so we can stack our deck with a lot of Advances). This is where I need to work out some details. The end goal an unbounded loop with the following:

Pathfinding on Procession
King's Court chain, play Procession 9 times alternating on Rogue and Graverobber (gaining each other and another action in the chain), play Hunting Grounds and Grand Market three times for draw, coin, and actions.
Ambassador the last Villa back to the supply.
Buy Travelling Fair x5, Bonfire x5 (trashing all the King's Courts and Processions, Hunting Grounds, Grand Market, and Ambassador), Advance Fortress -> Villa

Update:

Here's the cleanest loop I've been able to find:

Gain from Black Market: H = Hunting Grounds, R = Rogue, G = Graverobber, A = Ambassador
Pathfinding, Seaway on Procession

Hand: vfkkkpppG
Trash: RHAkkkppp

k
  k
    k
      p, draw ? (GG -> RA)
      p, draw R (RR -> Gp)
      p, draw G (GG -> Rp)
    k
      p, draw R (RR -> Gp)
      p, draw G (GG -> Rk)
      p, draw R (RR -> Gk)
    k
      p, draw G (GG -> Rk)
      p, draw R (RR -> GH)
      p, draw G (ff draw Hk -> f to hand)
  k
    HHH draw kkpppA??????
A (v -> supply)

+$16, +9 Buys

Bonfire x 4 ($12) trash kkkpppHA, Advance (f -> v)

Hand: vfGkkkppp
Trash: RkkkpppHA

Seaway on Procession is not strictly necessary - we can play a 9th Processed gain-from-trash and then use our spare KC to play GM as our source of actions and buys (and extra money for TF). But since it's already used as an Event in the Turn 1 Win solution, might as well.

(Doing it this way also makes the Procession gain-from-trash plays even, which means you can just start at the same point in the loop instead of alternating.)

All that's left is getting to that starting hand and trash from the oooobbb start in previous post, and that seems like a small task now compared to everything else.

[edit]Oh, we do need cost reduction on King's Court to be able to pick it up, and it can't be Bridge, Bridge Troll, or Highway because that would lower Ambassador to $2; so add in Ferry for that. Maybe there's some convoluted way to do it without Ferry by blinking a Bridge Troll in and out of play, but I don't want to think about that right now.

Well, I just remembered that the particular loop I added only works in a solo game, or with a cooperative opponent (feed them a black market Moat for example) in a two player game.

The setup is strong enough that I’m still fairly certain that you can empty the supply, just maybe not as elegantly as I had hoped. And a turn 1 infinite loop in a solo game is pretty sweet.

I had looked at trying to set up the Band of Misfits / Crown / Mandarin loop initially, but it would be tricky to set up. You need Crown, Lurker, Watchtower, and something that self-trashes (Death Cart is best for money), so that doesn’t leave room for all of KC, GM, Procession, and Stonemason, and all of them are vital to how I’m currently transitioning to the loop.

Anyway, out of ideas for now, but I’ll post my full solo solution at some point. And maybe Nocturne has some other enablers left...

Well, Goat makes this easier. I think I found a working loop without Goat anyway, though.

With the now-released Nocturne Heirlooms, just 2 events suffice for a Turn 1 win with no extra turns.


Events
Advance
Travelling fair

Kingdom
Border Village
Death Cart
Fortress
Lurker
Pixie (for Goat)
Pooka (for Cursed Gold)
Tracker (for Pouch)

Starting hand
Cursed Gold
Goat
Necropolis
Overgrown Estate
Pouch

Play Cursed Gold (gaining Curse), Pouch
($4, 2 buys)
Buy Travelling Fair
Buy Lurker (topdeck with Travelling Fair)
Buy Advance for Necropolis into Villa
($0, 1 buy)
Play Goat, trashing Overgrown Estate, drawing topdecked Lurker
Buy Advance for Villa into Border Village + Villa
Play Villa
($2, 1 buy)
Play Lurker, trashing Fortress into hand
(Hand now only has Fortress. From here, we drain 3 piles. It doesn't matter whether we topdeck.)

Do this 8 times: Buy Advance for Fortress into Border Village + Villa, play Villa
(Villa pile empty, 1 Border Village left in Supply)
($10, 1 buy)
Buy 5 Travelling Fairs.
($0, 6 buys)
Do this 5 times: Buy Advance for Fortress into Death Cart + 2 Ruins
Buy Advance for Fortress into Border Village + Duchy

Game ends (empty piles: Border Village, Ruins, Villa)
You have 2vp (Duchy, Curse)


The luck to pull this off is just the opening hand (1 of 252), so with some patience this could be done on Shuffle IT. There's 3 Kingdom piles to spare, including possibly Baker. Don't know if that's enough to set up also emptying the supply.

You can do it without Goat, which gets the probability down to a much more reasonable 5/126. This is the start (from the Empty the Supply thread):

Hand: upCCn
Deck: [CCCeh]
Play: upCC
Buy: Travelling Fair, Advance (n -> f), Doctor (+1, f), Advance (f -> v)

9 Villas left

Hand: vf
