Keep in mind that the value of Poor House goes down as you get more, because they're all treasures. Two can be good but the third is just a Silver, and the fourth is a Copper.

Yeah, but the difference is you could play your Poor Houses after all your other Treasures. With a $5/$2 opening and good shuffling luck, you could literally buy a Province on your third turn.

The difference between what you are saying and what? Buying a Province on your third turn is no big deal. You can do that for example with Death Cart (alone, no combo needed) and some shuffle luck if you want to.

I guess he means the difference between having to play your poor house while you still have all treasures on hand, and having the opportunity to play those treasures first ;)

Mine becomes a discount Expand for your new treasures.

Mint becomes a Disciple variant (buy it before you buy Capitalism).

I suppose Aqueduct would take the tokens from the Farmers' Market pile, and Keep has a lot more potential for points.

Alms becomes harder to use.

Magpie is even better when it can reveal these Action - Treasure cards.

Does it though? The actions are only Treasures during your turns, not at the end of the game.

But, will the vp-counter show it as if they indeed would give points? That may cause some frustrating losses out of nowhere I could imagine.

I would hope it doesn't... does the VP counter include points from other Landmarks like Wall and such?

Well the VP counter doesn't change Orchard points every time Band of Misfits becomes another card, so I suppose not.

Some other interactions pointed out on Discord:
  • Taxman: force your opponents to discard a +$ Action card
  • Crypt: Save +$ Action cards for future turns
  • Mandarin: Scheme all your +$ Action cards in play
  • Forager: counts +$ Action cards in the trash
  • Hero / Tragic Hero: gain any +$ Action card
  • Bridge: becomes non-terminal like Highway
  • +$ Attacks become non-terminal: Goons (already mentioned), but also Mountebank, Giant, Swindler, Jester, etc

Ooh, Capitalism doesn't only work on your own cards; so Tribute gets a lot better.

Ironmonger and Ironworks, too.

Woah... Thief + Capitalism could actually be really strong; or at least enough to scare your opponent away from trashing any initial Coppers.

I've always wanted to have a Copper that topdecks itself.

Adventurer might not be totally worthless with Capitalism. It'd give Venture/Capitalism a run for its money.

Um, Adventurer + Capitalism almost reads +2 cards. I mean, it skips over Victory cards which is nice... but that sounds terrible.

Hence the "might" (i.e. depends on board) and the "not totally worthless" (as opposed to, like, "decent").

It also skips over most of your other draw cards.

It skips over the other useless Adventurers you bought! That's makes it a better card!

Peasant -> Teacher becomes much stronger. Getting ridiculous quantities of coin from soldier is much easier with treasure soldiers, getting treasure peasants for +buys lets you spend that money. All you need for support is a decent draw card (preferably an attack), and some way to get your teacher relatively quickly (sifting or trashing works). Making your soldier a treasure with an early capitalism also lets you use that draw card without fear of drawing it dead, though that doesn't help the fugitive or disciple.
