In an IRL game, I bid 40 for Mountain Pass. I then proceeded to Smuggle 2 Provinces (I played two Bridges first) and use gainers to cause a 3-pile and win.

this actually belongs in one of the two threads, or both depending of if your identify as homo-combo-sexual or trend more toward Combo Fluid.

After opening Potion-Silver in the hopes of getting one of the 3P cards, I did not hit 3P until the 5th shuffle. I should just have resigned at that point.

Last weekend in a Familiar/Apprentice IRL game against my 12 yo brother:
I split 5/2, and opened Apprentice/nothing (I really like to live dangerously).
First shuffle, Apprentice-c-c-c-c hand, buy Potion and be sad.
Second shuffle, Apprentice-c-c-c-c, trash a Copper and be sad.
Later in the second shuffle, e-e-c-c-p, be very sad, start to take in Curses.

We played it out, it ended on Curse-Market-Apprentice piles, the score was 30 to -5, and I never managed to trash two of my Estates.

Not sure why I'm posting this here, but it was intriguing to watch, I guess.

Plot twist, his brother was stacking the deck and swapping cards with sleight of hands.

I had the flag.  My opponent played a Bishop and trashed a flagbearer from their hand, taking the flag.  But as it turned out, I also had a flagbearer in my hand, so I was able to trash it too, immediately taking the flag back!

Castles + Keep + Museum = Humble Castle worth 8 points as soon as you get it, and then another +1 for every castle thereafter!

Played a game with Young Witch where the bane was Watchtower, and Sheepdog was also in the game.  So, I could choose to use the Watchtower either as the bane, blocking Young Witch's curse outright, or I could gain the curse and immediately trash it.  So, there were a couple of turns where I had both Watchtower and Sheepdog in hand, so I would gain the curse, then immediately trash it with Watchtower, and react to the gaining with Sheepdog for +2 cards

Worth at least 8 points, right?

Oh, that's pretty cool!  It's almost like it makes the action into a "now and at the start of your next turn" Duration!  Plus it would still gain a more expensive card!

Way of the Turtle + Bounty Hunter + Castles

I just had a game where all three of those were in play.  Also Replace, but that was a much less significant card.  I bought several Bounty Hunters, and simply kept them aside when not needed.  Then, whenever I'd draw a Victory card in my initial hand, I'd use a Bounty Hunter on it.  Castles became a viable strategy.  And since the Castles all have different names, Bounty Hunter would get a $3 bonus each time it Exiled one, making it that much easier to buy the next Castle!  Replace added a bit of a bonus, too.  Trash copper to Estate, normally not a very useful move, but since Estate would get Exiled quickly, they didn't weigh my deck down, and the cursing of my opponents helped.  And Replace also helped to get some of the more expensive Castles as well.

Ill-Gotten Gains, especially if you have a source of extra buys, makes it really easy to pick up Wayfarers, at the cost of gaining one copper

And if you happened to also have Monastery in your hand, even that extra copper's not actually a cost, since you can immediately trash it

Populate (on the right boards, of course) helps power up your Horn of Plentys (though you have to get those separately).

On a board with no buys, the extra Province I got from this put me over the top.

I did that with a Province accidentally yesterday (glanced at it and thought it was an Estate). I still won that game, but just barely

Played a Bounty Hunter and Exiled a Cavalry for $3.  Then, went into my Buy phase and bought another Cavalry, discarding the exiled Cavalry and getting +2 Cards +1 Buy and going back into my Action phase (with the Action I had left over).  The cards I drew were a Copper and an Estate.  Played my Cavalry, then went back into the Buy phase and played the Copper I drew. The Copper I drew and the +$3 I got from Bounty Hunter thus paid for the Cavalry, so I netted a free Cavalry along with what I would've bought anyways!

But did you really want a free Cavalry? It's strictly worse than Sleigh unless you're trashing it for some benefit.

Excluding the on-gain abilities, Cavalry and Sleigh are just a weird way to use up an action into a delayed net of +2 cards (or horse fodder for trashing, if you have need of that; there are games where the horse pile runs out)

So, eh, getting one for "free" is often quite a skippable deal unless you're flooded in actions. The best time to get a Cavalry is when the on-gain +2 cards is going to let you continue playing a meaningful turn.

Such as the + from Bounty Hunter.

Way of the Mouse was Improve, and Flagbearer was in the game.  So, I could get the flag by buying Flagbearer.  And then later, I could play it as Improve, trashing itself, gaining a $5 card, and also taking the flag back (but even if the flag hadn't been taken from me, Flagbearer's not that useful in your deck, so replacing it with a $5 card is still good)  And since both Improve and Flagbearer have +$2 as their on-play ability, it plays the same way

Was that 4 Black Cats in the starting hand?! There were 9 Black Cats that reacted, and only 5 that were drawn, unless I'm missing something.
