I really like when you do a goofy opening that out of context seems inferior, but is good on that particular kingdom. My favorite opening ever was opening Chapel/Hamlet, still one of my only 2/2 openings (they will probably become more common now with the introduction of several power 2's in Adventures).
Can you explain the Kingdom, and why opening Hamlet/Chapel was amazing? Was it Tunnel?
So, I thought of a combo. It requires 2 cards and an Event.
Bridge, Hermit, Alms.
Essentially you gain Madmen with Hermit and buy Bridges with Alms.
I think the combo here is just Hermit + Alms. Bridge may make it stronger, but it's not in any way essential for this.
You need a $4 or lower megaturn payload though. Bridge and Market Square are the only ones that immediately come to my mind.
Giantany junking or trashing attack is pretty good when you call 6 Royal Carriages on it:

There are exactly 4 cards that do this. Two of them are in adventures.
Here's a very easy puzzle:
You play a card with no tokens on it. Champion is not in play. There are no durations or villages in play.
You play card X and draw four cards. You then play a Scout.
What is card X?
There are exactly 4 cards that do this. Two of them are in adventures.
---------- Accatitippi: turn 10 ----------
Accatitippi - plays Page

Accatitippi - plays Champion
Accatitippi - plays Saboteur
Riphia - shuffles deck
Riphia - reveals Copper, Copper, Copper, Page, Page, Champion
Riphia - trashes Champion
Opponent resigns.
I feel like a huge jerk, even more so since it was only a 25% chance. (he had 4 3+ cards in his deck and one in his hand)
I think you should generally just put +Action on the terminal card you have the most of in your deck. If you have 3 Council Rooms and 6 Goons, I wouldn't put my token on Council Room.
Lost Arts on Goons - The frees up the terminal space to be used on draw. I was able to consistently get 5 Goons in play every turn.
Someone else mentioned this in relation to Miser (which is nowhere near the best), so I think we can expand it to strong terminal payload in general. +Action token on spammable payload cards is pretty good - you know, the ones that just get better the more you get in play. So other than Goons, there's also Merchant Guild, Bridge, Wine Merchant and possibly Bridge Troll.
Almost always, if you have the option between putting Lost Arts on terminal draw or terminal payload, you should put it on terminal draw. It just makes your deck so much more reliable. That's why Laboratory is so much more expensive than Moat, whereas Silver is only marginally more expensive than Duchess.
Lost Arts on Goons - The frees up the terminal space to be used on draw. I was able to consistently get 5 Goons in play every turn.
Wharf/Outpost is bonkers if you have enough +Action, maybe some trashing. Especially if you win the Wharf split.
It's not so much Wharf/Outpost as it is [any reliable engine]/Outpost. It's generally a weak or mediocre card, but with the right deck a single Outpost can literally double your deck output.
I think Wharf works especially well with it because you can play your Wharves before you play Outpost, rather than hoping to draw your starting pieces in your 3 card hand.
That's why I specified reliable. Wharf alone doesn't work well because (as you pointed out) you need a lot of village support. You could also do something with Scheme (especially with stuff like KC or SP). But again, these are just examples of the general "reliable engine".
The worst part about Hamlet is remembering you have to click through two discards lest you discard the action you were intending to play afterwards.Are you listening, Stef and SCSN? I'm feeling a "You are about to discard an Action card. Was this your intention?" pop-up. That'd be cool.
Lord Bottington indeed took over MF. And soon he will turn all of us into rats, he had enough practice over those years. With Stef and SCSN in charge of the AI, that wouldn't have happened.
