Edit: I know, that can work nice, if you got Golem and Treasure Map in hand.

Making that work seems like it is more difficult than just making two TMs collide. Of course, let the edge cases come...

You opened 5/2 and grabbed Jester.  One opponent went for Golems, and another went for TMs.  Your Jesters just happened to hit the right things, and the whole setup was a complete accident?

I recently tried a deck with one Coppersmith, one Counting House and multiple Golems. This also was a trap.

Well Golem + just 1 Counting House is guaranteed to get all your Coppers in your hand.* Golem + 1 Counting House and 1 Coppersmith might only pick you up a couple Coppers; depending all on luck... also, with no +buy, unless it's a Colony game, it's pointless... just buy 1 Copper and the Counting House/Golem is a Province every time you draw the Golem... what good is having $14 or $16 to spend instead?



*Edge case: you draw both in the same hand.

Arrested Development.

If you have Netflix or Amazon Prime, you can stream the original three seasons. It originally got cancelled 2006, but Netflix has produced a fourth season that's coming out in 3 weeks (plenty of time to watch the first three seasons).

Too slow. Sometimes I got no Golem in hand, sometimes I got Golem and either Coppersmith or Counting House getting a terminal conflict. Took 19 turns to get 4 Provinces.

Yeah, if it's a Province game, I'm positive that you would be better off replacing the Coppersmith with a Copper... though I believe that's been shown to still be too slow for most boards.

I tried to watch AD two years ago, but didn't really get hooked on it after 1 season. The last two weeks I've been giving it another shot, and it's really good. I would recommend pretty much everyone to watch it.

I think the problem with these setups is that if you don't get to $8, there's nothing you can buy to improve your deck.  You non-Golem hands are aren't just weak... they're very nearly wasted.

IMO, an deck like this desperately wants a sifting +action, both to draw the Golems more frequently and to play the terminals that collide with them.  I recently stumbled into a similar setup: 1 Golem, 2 Scheme, 2 Apothecary, and 1 Coppersmith.  To my surprise, that was good for something like 7 provinces in 15 turns despite an unopposed enemy Sea Hag.

I definitely would have added an Arrested Development if it had been in the kingdom.

I have actually encountered it with Coppers a lot. Mainly I just feel like I've seen threads with the +Actions question a ton lately, mainly on BGG (threads like this).
