Opening Questions

In a solitaire game:

1) Most cards before Turn 2
2) Most cards in an opening
3) Most unique cards in deck after opening
4) Fewest cards after opening

I'm guessing the answer to 1) is
Stonemason/Death Cart*2/4*Ruins

I think 2) Would be
Stonemason/Nomad Camp*2, then Stonemason/Death Cart*2/4*Ruins, then buying another 2 coppers

Not sure about 3)

4) Best answer so far is $6 doctor, trashing 3 estates, then mint, leaving you with a 4 card deck

1 and 2 I think are right.

4) Doctor for $6, trashing 3 estates. Draw 5 coppers, buy mint. deck is doctor, mint, 2 copper.

3) probably stonemason-nomadcamp-nomadcamp-stonemason-deathcart-ruin1-ruin2-deathcart-ruin3-ruin4-ruin5-curse. That plus copper and 3 shelters is 13 different cards.

Liopoil's 4) is the best. I tried to come up with a solution that involved playing Doctor after buying it for $5, trashing Coppers and using the extra coin token to buy a mint, but there'll always be an Estate in your hand to stop that

Also that's a hell of an opening with some $2 cards being on the board, but not many. Stonemason will be able to get decent cards out of the Mint, and this is probably a better opening than Mint/FG when FG is on the board.
