cards in supply: Bank, Colony, Contraband, Familiar, Farmland, Forge, Ill-Gotten Gains, Philosopher's Stone, Platinum, Potion, Secret Chamber, Trade Route, and Wishing Well

I ignored IGG for Familiar, which I think was the right choice, though it could have gone either way. What I really enjoyed, though, was the way my deck was driven by unconventional sources of money, though with turns like

I didn't get to Forge Familiars into Philosopher's Stones or three-pile on Stones/Curses/X like I wanted to, but it was still quite satisfying to use such traditionally mediocre cards to power huge amounts of money. Hurrah for Colony games, I suppose!

Forge is cost in Coins, so I'm pretty sure you could not forge them into Philosopher's Stones.
