Death Cart + Silver + 3 Coppers with Stonemason on board?

Nice! So, new challenge, produce $12 instead of $11 in the buy phase of T3 (without Baker). This was my actual solution.

Shelters.

T1 ($3): Stonemason - Poor House - Poor House
T2 ($4): Stonemason - Squire, Beggar
T3: Necropolis - Sq - PH -PH - Beggar
Play Nec, Sq for Actions, PH, PH, Beggar
This gets you 1 + 4 + 4 + 3 = 12

Well, there are several variants. The more challenges, the more fun. I did say the previous answer were correct.

(...)
The problem is, Procession says "You may play an action card from your hand twice. (...)", so if you have an action card in your hand, playing a Procession always involves a choice.
Wow, how didn't I see that... I thought it still had the Throne Room wording for some reason.
Anyway, there's another way to do better.
Toss in Outpost and Prince, with a Princed Throne Room. Only Copper and Curse are depleted, and you have no treasure and no way to get money in your deck(Z does not give you money). No Ruins in play.

I will argue that the second turn Princed Throne Room is a direct result of the Outpost play, since without it, you would not be able to play a second turn, and you have no choice in the matter whether to play the second turn or not. Thus, it is a direct result of your initial play, which played Outpost.

You only have 9 TR's, 9 Heralds, 9 Golems, an Outpost, and 25 Z's for action cards. Also, you have some unimportant amount of non-Action, non-Treasures(like Province, Duchy, Estate, Silk Road, Gardens... you've pretty much won anyway, why else would you be doing this?)

Turn 1:
Start with only Golem and non-Actions in hand
Prince'd TR plays Golem
* plays 2 TR's, with 2 Golems in hand
** plays 2 Z's twice
** plays 2 Z's and 2 TR's, with 2 Golems in hand
*** plays 2 Z's twice
*** plays 2 Z's and 2 TR's, with 2 Golems in hand
**** plays 2 Z's twice
**** plays 2 Z's and 2 TR's, with 2 Golems in hand
***** plays 2 Z's twice
***** plays 2 Z's, then 2 Heralds
****** hits and plays Z
****** hits and plays Herald
******* hits and plays Herald
******** hits and plays Herald
... for the rest of the Heralds
************ hits and plays Outpost
No actions and no Treasure in hand, Copper and Curse bought out, so no choice to buy.
Turn 2: repeat Turn 1 exactly
The total for each turn is 9 Heralds, 9 Throne Rooms, 9 Golems, 25 Z's, and an Outpost, for 53. Multiply by 2, and we get 106 actions played.

And, if you have an opponent to work with, you can get to infinity: Prince TR for both of you, and both of your decks have only Possession. The only way out is for one of you to resign... But that's just a bit cheaty.

There is one card missing from the set up above in brackets.  Name it, and why.

Inn, because it's on gain effect is really fun to use, creating interesting shuffling situations.

Black Market, it's basically a superset of all other kingdom cards (not including itself).

Are you sure the missing card doesn't go outside the brackets?  If it does, then the answer is Bureaucrat.  A lifetime of red tape, pencil pushing and meaningless busywork has left him empty inside, much like your empty set.

Courtyard!

Your brackets have 9 spaces between them and Courtyard is the only card with 9 letters (including spaces).
Well, there are probably others, but I'm just assuming there aren't any.

Exactly 1 card is missing in this list. What is it?

Edit to add a hint:
It has to do with their trashing effects.

They can all trash any card from your opponent's deck. Swindler.

Not quite true, because Saboteur can't trash cards below $3. None of them can.

You could say they can trash any card of cost $3 or above and below $6, so  I guess Swindler is valid. There are other solutions though. A really convoluted condition makes          Thief a solution too.

There is yet another solution. The set is not distinct enough I guess.

You could also say that they can trash another copy of themselves from your opponents' decks. That would also make Swindler a valid answer, and perhaps Bishop and Governor as well.

I had only looked at it for a minute and thought it was the ability to trash Action cards, but didn't notice Counterfeit.

There is also Loan. And Rats (among others) is not there.
