Horn Of Plenty and Bank. Just played this and it gave me a headache which to play first in the buy phase each time they "collided".

Shouldn't be that hard?  Just figure out if you'd rather have $1 extra to buy or the ability to pick up a card worth $1 more with HoP.

Is Loan/Tunnel a nombo? The idea: trash coppers with the Loans, while discarding Tunnels to get Gold, then proceed to use the Golds to buy Provinces. The reality: the golds don't come as fast as expected, the loans then start hitting the golds, and you start seeing hands like "Gold, Gold, Loan, Tunnel, Tunnel", which isn't good for much.

Loan/Tunnel probably just needs the right assistance, courtyard perhaps. Horn of Plenty with bank is ok, certainly compared to smugglers/workshop with bank.

Shanty Town + any terminal non-drawer card !

While talking about Throne Room + King's Court, I will add with them (if not already done) : secret chamber and counting house.
And of course, Watchtower+Library ; if you play Throne or KC before them, this is only to draw one single more card !

And according to me, loan/tunnel looks pretty nice. Especially when you have a faster way to trash your coppers... I bought once two loans to get them ! Because tunnel is, and will remain the best source of gold, as long as there is a way to get gold. Plus it deters opponent from buy Militia/Goons and so on...

Chocolate is like victory points in Dominion. Both taste good but they'll hurt you if you eat too much of it instead of something else in your early days.

Apparently it is a nombo, DG.
It's not very good, without more help anyway.
