Reckless Trait cards stack with "play twice" and "play three times" effects. I used King's Cache on a Reckless Bank to play it six times for $66, and had enough buys to buy all 8 Provinces.

Just imagine a reckless possession/kings court(s) combo.  You might be able to sneak a nap in before your next turn if they don't end it first.

Neat combo here.  Tactician and Way of the Owl with a Weaver in hand.discard your hand and draw 6 more cards.  If you have + actions it's basically a free tactician turn and if you don't you at least can use the coins to buys stuff/get nights in play on your often worthless leg of the tactician turn.

This one was really kind of neat, although an extreme edge case.  If you gain a Siren with a Sheepdog in hand and you are at the end of your draw pile you can gain it without trashing if the Siren ends up Being one of the 2 cards that you draw. triggering a reshuffle.

I was wondering if it mattered whether you actually draw the Siren there, and it's easier than that. I just tested it online, and this works whenever the Sheepdog makes you shuffle the gained Siren into your deck--that's where the Siren loses track of itself. You don't have to draw the Siren from the Sheepdog effect, just shuffle the Siren into your deck with the Sheepdog effect.

Cultist / Way of the Mule. It's very handy to play a chain of Cultists for draw and then use the last one as Way of the Mule to make the sequence nonterminal.

Also works with Frog, Ox or Pig.

True, though Pig nerfs Cultist enough that it might not be worth it.

Had a game with Weaver + Way of the Squirrel + a discard attack (in this case Margrave). Weaver proved an interesting partial counter to discard attacks (this would also work with Village Green and Trail) - when I'm forced to discard a Weaver from my hand, I can play it as Squirrel, and at the end of my opponent's turn, draw back 2 cards. Or if I discarded more than one Weaver, even more cards. Thus turning the discard attack into a sifter

Reckless Scheme is incredibly strong. You get +2 Cards +2 Actions when you play it. Then you get to topdeck two Action cards - which can include itself (thus avoiding going back to its pile) plus one other Action card. Get multiple Schemes and you can basically start each turn with the same hand

Ironically "reckless scheme" is much more reliable, safe, and consistent than an ordinary scheme

If I have $6 and Guildhall and Travelling fair is on the board, I can topdeck 4 coppers to guarantee a province next turn.

There are many Tactician combos, so this is maybe obvious or probably in this thread somewhere, but Tactician plus Gamble on the Tactician you just bought can be pretty nice.

Yeah, Tactician in the buy phase in general, really.

For those that don't want to waste a turn to get their Landing Parties back, I just rolled a board with Landing Part and Hasty on a treasure card (Cauldron). Just pay $5 to get them all back next turn (along with $2 and a buy), which was very much worth it.
