Under the following restraints:
* It's your turn in a 2-player game
* You start your turn with 0 points and with a 5-card hand
* You have no Durations out and no coin tokens available
* You play no Actions, and no Treasures other than Copper, Silver and/or Gold

What is the maximum number of points you can have at the end of your turn?

What was the maximum number before Guilds came out?

If I have found the right solutions, the numbers are 38 and 35, respectively

I can get 92 with guilds, 86 without.

Just have all of the kingdom cards (black market) and all of those other cards and whatnot, all of the curses, and and get rid of gardens, vineyards, colony, etc until you have zero points. Then buy farmland, trashing something costing four and gaining a fairgrounds.

Can't beat heron, but here's my answer: Your deck is Gold, Gold, Gold, Silver, Silver, Trader, Native Village. Trader and at least $8 worth of treasure is your hand. Overpay Stonemason for 6, gaining two Border Villages, gaining two Death Carts and 4 differently named Ruins. Trade one of the Ruins for a Silver. This makes your 8 Vineyards (they're on the Native Village mat) worth 3VP more each and your 7 Gardens (also on the NV mat) worth 1VP more each and your 8 Fairgrounds (also on the NV mat) worth 4VP more each and your 7 Feodums (on the mat) worth 1VP more each. That's 70 points. You have only 0 points in the beginning because Gardens and Fairgrounds don't count cards on your NV mat, they only count cards in your deck.

EDIT: My first answer would've been impossible due to 3-piling, but luckily fixing it only costs one point.
EDIT 2: No wait, I can do better than that! Though now the fix to the 3-piling problem costs 2 points ;__;

I also thought of abusing Horse Trader's reaction to start the turn with a 5-card hand and play the turn with a 6-card hand, but can't find a way to make it any useful.
