So last night I posted another thread and someone replied with this:

What would happen if you maxed out Pirate Ship?
Let's see....
Kingdom:King's Court
Pirate Ship
Grand Market
Philosopher's Stone (to get potion into the game)
Colony/Platinum is available
after that, any 6 other treasures will do. Let's just say Loan, Bank, Venture, Royal Seal, Harem, Fool's Gold.
Rules: You control everything, including opponent play and the shuffle of your deck.
Gameplay -You take the 10 King's Courts and 10 Pirate Ships and 9 Grand Markets.
-Your opponent acquires 52 coppers (his original 7 plus 45 of the 46 kingdom coppers), 39 silvers, 15 potions, 29 Golds, 11 Platinums, and 9 each of P-Stone, Loan, Bank, Venture, Royal Seal, Harem, and Fool's Gold...all for your Pirate Ships to chomp on. Pirate Ship's final value is $209.
On the big turn, your hand starts with KC/KC/KC/KC/GM. Your deck has rest of the KC's and GM's alternating until you get down to the 10 Pirate Ships after that, then your coppers and estates at the bottom. You get 28 total KC plays this way and the math works out perfect: 9 are for the other KC's besides the first, 9 are for GM's, and 10 are for the PS's. The 27 total GM plays are enough to draw the 6 KC's + 8 GM's + 10 PS's that didn't start in your hand. You also get $54 from the GM's. You should end up with 10 Pirate Ships and 3 coppers in your hand with enough KC's still chaining to KC all the PS's. Taking all the money from the PS's would net you 30*$209 or $6,270 + $54 from GM's + 3 coppers =
$6,327 and 27 buys.Is there any flaw in this? This would work, right? And can anyone top this?
