I have no idea what the answer is, but this question popped into my head.

How many times can you trash the same Fortress in one turn?

How many times can you trash the same Fortress in one turn?

Oh man this number is going to be huge.

Remake is key, since 1 Remake allows you to Trash the same Fortress twice. Should be the only card that can do that.

Kingdom: Remake, KC, TR, Procession, Fortress, Rats, BoM, Graverobber, Rogue, Junk Dealer

So Procession first... using Throne Room -> Procession, you should be able to play 10 BoM as Remake, twice each, and 9 Remakes, twice each, sending all 19 cards to the trash.... for 19*2*2=76 trashes.

Use Graverobbers and Rogues, get all the Remakes and BoMs back.

10 KCs let you triple 19 actions. KC BoM as Remake 10 times, then KC Remake 9 times... that's 19*3*2 = 114 Trashes. If you start that off with a TR, you should get an additional KC'd action... so play Chapel or whatever for 117 Trashes.

117 +76 = 193.

Now play 10 Junk Dealers and 20 Rats, for 30 more.

223 total.

Not even close to confident that that's the highest, nor that I didn't make a mistake somewhere.

Improved it using Black Market. Replaces Junk Dealer in my solution. As long as you can pull more than 10 cards from it that allow trashing, as well as enough Villages to play all those cards, it should increase the total some.

Get from Black Market:
Upgrade
Junk Dealer
Chapel
Remodel
Develop
Expand
Forge
Forager
Steward
Count
Death Cart
Hermit
Dame Anna
Altar
Trading Post
Lookout
Salvager
Apprentice
Bishop
Jack of All Trades
Trader

21 cards that Trash that I haven't used yet. 1 of those was used already for my extra KC, so 10 extra Trashes by replacing Junk Dealer with Black Market. Also, you could gain the last Remake (put Armory in the Black Market also) and play that... so 223 + 12 = 235.

Why not put the fortress in the black market since you only need one?

Also you need a scrying pool in the BM to draw your deck.

lol, oops! I'm sure I missed that because I didn't start with Black Market thinking at all. I also realized that I can put Young Witch in the Black Market to get an extra Kingdom pile (Forager, since it's non-terminal trasher). So, that plus Fortress + Scrying Pool in Black Market (and a few Villages for the terminal trashers) should add 18 to my answer for a total of 253.
