Thought I would share this one. Played it random and I think it looks like it was designed:
Moat, Loan, Market Square, Bishop, Horse Traders, Procession, Spice Merchant, Knights, Rogue, Soothsayer,

Only thing that doesn't fit is Horse Traders (But maybe that one if you decide getting to $5 early is important). The rest makes for a really really interesting game with lots of different strategies that show off the effect of the different cards, and trade-offs you need to make at different points in the game.

it's very terminal heavy....  the spice merchant allows for decent trashing, making dame village (Molly) look very good.

but yeah, i can see a lot of interesting options in there.

Horse Traders benefits from all the attacks - mainly this makes the opportunity cost of buying it with your 4 opening a lot less as it basically just replaces itself. 

So many attacks that I wonder if it's worth buying moat for the defense?  probably not...

Horse Traders is interesting if my opponents goes Soothsayer. 7 card starting hand after gaining a Curse? Yes, please.

Knights. Ugh. I would be really tempted to go for a Bishop Golden deck here with a Market Square to get two Golds. Your Knights can't hit me if I only have 5 cards!

Soothsayer slows down Golden Deck a fair bit.  You get to draw the Curse right away to trash if you want, but then you are disrupted for a turn.

Keep in mind that unless you're going HT/ money (and yeah, you're not doing that), you probably have actions in your hand besides HT, so the HT is "dead" except that you drew a card to replace it.

Necropolis and Dame Molly? ;) And Procession. I feel a Marin engine coming on!
