Today for the first time ever I had a straight-up $5-$5 opening with no Baker or Borrow in the Kingdom. The only Heirloom was Pouch. What did I buy with my first $5?
Mandarin?

ugh, this is why I don't hang out in this thread

this is where I say "no Mandarin either" and then people guess the 18 other obvious ways to do this that I also didn't think of

The next best thing I can think of is Summon; there is a variety of openings with Summon that would allow this.

Close, but let me try just one more time:

Opened $5-$5 with no Baker, no events, only Heirloom was Pouch, and the first buy was a $5 card which was not Mandarin.

In the trash are six Estates and one Copper.

What is the card most likely to be present in the kingdom?

I have my own answer but there could always be a better one.
Actually, the answer is Pixie.

No I don’t think it’s that one.

There are no Action cards that are considered "mine" (spare me the refreshing jokes). I buy a Gold. Later that same turn, there are still no Action cards that are "mine". I play the Gold that I bought. What happened in between?

Before you bought the Gold, you had $10 and 2 Buys from at least 3 differently named Treasures, a Venture and a Horn of Plenty in hand, and no Treasures in your draw or discard piles. After you bought the Gold, you then bought a Villa, returning to your Action phase, but immediately ending your Action phase without playing the Villa. You then played a Horn of Plenty, gaining a Cemetery, trashing the Villa. You then played a Venture, drawing the Gold, and playing it.

That works, but there is a solution with fewer intermediary steps.

Under these same conditions, do the reverse. That is:

I...that certainly could involve playing a Gold? And does not involve any of the other parts of the puzzle..?

Here's a solution that might actualyl work.

Play 2 Cultists
Counterfeit-Counterfeit-Counterfeit-Platinum-Platinum-Gold
Buy Graverobber
Buy Ambassador
Buy Bonfire trashing a Cultist, drawing Graverobber and Ambassador
Buy Villa
Play Villa
Play Graverobber to gain the Gold from the trash.
Buy another bonfire, trashing the second Cultist and the Villa, drawing the Gold
Play Villa
Ambassador the Gold (oppoents moat)
Buy Bonfire to trash Villa + Ambassador
Buy Gold.
