Donate should definitely be on the list.
How does guarantee? You are probably right, I just want to confirm (and my brain isn't functioning enough to think about it).

Works for 3/4 and 4/3:
Turn 1 - Buy silver
Turn 2 - Donate down to silver and 4 copper (4 or 5 debt)
Turn 3 - Pay off debt
Turn 4 - Buy 5 cost action
Thanks! I'll add it.

I've just added Enhance (ONLY IN SHELTER GAMES), which I think always works?

Yes, you're guaranteed to have a hand with at least $3 and a non-Victory shelter if you open 3/4.

The following Events/Projects also work:
Scouting Party: Open Double Silver, buy SP on T3 unless you have $5+ or three Estates/Shelters in hand (in which cases you don't need it to get $5 on T3/4).
Banish: Open Silver/Exile (in any order) and exile the Estate/Shelter from your $4 hand.

City Gate: Open Silver (or double Silver) and buy CG on T3 unless you have $5+ or three Estates/Shelters in hand (in which cases you don't need it to get $5 on T3/4).

I think the list of Events and Projects is now complete with these additions, as I've considered each of them that can be bought with at most $4 or with debt and wasn't yet listed. (I'm not quite certain in the case of Pursue, but I think you can't make it work in all cases, no matter whether you try to Pursue silvers on T1, T2 or T3.)

Pixie/Goat also works - buy Silver and trash an Estate on your first shuffle.

That's the only kingdom card I found that's not yet on BBobb's list.

I think you can remove the "only itself" caveat from Animal Fair.

If you gain an Animal Fair by trashing Necropolis on one opening turn, and buy nothing on the other, you have a 10 card deck, so one of your 5 card hands will have Animal Fair and at least one Copper.

Thanks! Will do.
