Win with an all-blue deck

<< < (3/3)

Turtlegods:
Compared to Ghacob's solution, I feel like these are cheating--but they work!

Variant 1 & 3 can be solved in the same fashion:
Tower, Alms, Watchtower, Trader, the rest of the kingdom is arbitrary.
Use Watchtower/Trader to trash the entire deck and then empty any three reaction piles for 30 points.
I wanted to do something with Keep but I don't think I can with only two landmark/events and no ability to play coppers or have coppers in the deck at the end of the game...

Variant 2 (technically a solution to 1 & 3 as well):

Needed cards: Watchtower, Caravan Guard, Trader, Salt the Earth. 
Play coppers to gain 1 Watchtower, 4 Caravan Guards, and 1 Trader. Trash deck (except Hovel) and proceed to trash all Colonies through Salt the Earth. It's a 7 card golden deck and therefore immune to shuffle luck.
Variant: use alms instead of copper to gain necessary components.

The Colonies don't count towards your score at the end of the game (they're not in your deck nor on your mats), hence it is not a solution to variant 2. Apologies if I have not been clear about the criteria.

Keep, Alms, Fool's Gold seems like it accomplishes something, though probably it just accomplishes a tie (your FGs vs. their Copper)

Does this work?

Kingdom: Fool's Gold, Caravan Guard, Market Square, Tunnel, Watchtower, Cemetery, Mint
Events: Alms, Expedition

Alms for Watchtower
Alms for 3 Cemeteries, revealing Watchtower to trash
Alms for 10 Fool's Golds, 8 Market Squares
Expedition to earn $11
buy 7 Colonies
Expedition to draw everything
play 8 Market Squares, 10 Fool's Golds
buy Mint to gain it, revealing Watchtower to trash
buy Colony
buy 7 Expeditions

Everything is in hand proper (not in my deck). Hovel is in deck. Replace Colony to Tunnel for variant 1.
