I play Storyteller, then three Treasures.  However, once I'm done resolving them, I don't end up drawing any cards from Storyteller.  How?

There are no cards in your deck or discard.

Trivial answer: Birdge Troll/Ball and three Horns of Plenty.  There's another answer that doesn't involve not producing any .

Have your last treasure you play be crown, which crowns a poor house and you have lots of treasures in your hand.
Similarly, have the last Treasure be Crown, which plays Black Market where you spend all the money from the other Treasures you played.
Or, indeed, another Storyteller.

At the start of my turn, I have no cards in hand, deck or discard pile, nothing already in play, and nothing on any mat. I do, however, have an arbitrary number of cards set aside from buying multiple Summons in the previous turn. Find the fewest number of steps (represented by lines of play log) for each of the following challenges:

Challenge #1: Prince an Expand this turn.

Challenge #2: Prince an Expand this turn, with none of the Summoned cards costing more than $4 in the absence of cost reduction.

Challenge #3: As in Challenge #2, but with no cost reduction involved at all, with the Expand being played at the start of turn, and resulting in the gaining and/or trashing of cards costing $2, $3, $4, $5 and $6 as part of its resolution.

You can ignore the mechanism by which everything is set up, but otherwise the challenge must result in a valid kingdom.

1: 3 Summoned Bridges, 1 Summoned Armory (gain Expand), one Summoned Ruined Library, 1 Summoned Prince (set aside Expand).  6 steps.
2: Four Summoned Bridges, two Summoned Armories (gain Prince, gain Expand), one Summoned Smithy, Prince Expand.  8 steps.

3 does not seem feasible.  To play Expand at the start of your turn, you would have to have Princed or Summoned Prince, which is not possible without cost reduction.
1: Is trivially reduced by one step (Ruined Library) by adding the +card token to Prince.

Not sure how much setting up is allowed, but the following solutions for 1 & 2 works within the framework:

1:
-2$ token on Expand, +card token on Lurker, Prince & Expand in trash
Summoned cards Lurker *2, Highway

Play Lurker gaining Expand
Play Lurker (draw Expand) gaining Prince
Play Highway drawing Prince
Play Prince setting aside Expand


2:
Same as 1, replace Highway by Bridge and add some drawing card.

4 and 5 steps, respectively.

Another.

During the start of your turn, play a card whose cost is not only $ but also Potion, debt, etc.

Too easy?

Summoned throne room
Yes. It enables you to play Prince. But I have no idea of Princing them.

Challenge #3: As in Challenge #2, but with no cost reduction involved at all, with the Expand being played at the start of turn, and resulting in the gaining and/or trashing of cards costing $2, $3, $4, $5 and $6 as part of its resolution.

You cannot ever Prince an Exand directly without cost reduction from what I know. What you could do is Prince Throne Room, then play Expand twice at the start of your turn, trashing an Estate for a Catacombs which you watchtower-trash for a Rocks which you watchtower-trash for a Silver. The second time you just trash a Gold to fulfill the condition of the named price points getting trashed and/or gained. I don't want to come up with a way how to get your deck in that state, but if emptying the game by turn 3 is possible, I suppose there's a way to do this.

Actually all kingdom cards can be used for this.
The card you Discipled is not in the supply. It's in play.

Procession on Encampment, revealing Gold each time, then trashing Encampment. Lurker to get Encampment from trash. Library, setting aside Encampment. Procession on Encampment again, revealing Gold again and trashing it again. Lurker to gain it back once more.

You played it, showed gold. Then you bought Bonfire, trashed it. Bought Villa. Played Lurker, gained Encampment. Draw it. Then you played Artisan, put Encampment on top of the deck, then you set it aside with native village. Then you take it in hand and play ambassador to return it into the pile (opponent lighthoused) then you played workshop and gained it.

I think Procession loses track of the Encampment and it isn't trashed.

Technically, Donate happens between turns and not on the same turn.

Why would it? If you reveal Gold, Encampment will be where Procession expects it to be.
