Let's say the 9 previewed Kingdom cards are on the board (and for shits and giggles, vanilla Village to make 10).  How would you play it?

I think the most powerful opening would be Squire/Graverobber.  Once you were able to collide them, you could trash Squire for 2 Cultists, and start filling your opponent's deck with junk.  Once the Ruins start to deplete, you Squire/Graverob into a few Pillages, which will be all the more devastating with most of your opponent's hand filled with Ruins.  Then, use your Spoils (and the +Buys from Squire) to take all the Provinces.

I can already see my first game going exactly like this:

Open with Rats; lose terribly but have a lot of fun in the process.

While I'm sure it'd drop to something good, I'd definitely want to try some sort of hermit/squire/rat/cultist (graverobber?) engine, perhaps using a feodum to get some silvers...Pretty hard to imagine it without playing it though, and I'm sure I'd screw it up.

I think you have to hurry on the Cultists. With 5/2 I open Cultist/Squire. I'm not waiting for them to collide. With 3/4 I think I open Hermit/Squire. If Hermit hits first, I'll get another Hermit; if Squire hits first, I'll get Silver and use Hermit to kill the discarded Squire and turn it into a Cultist.

I wonder how strong something like spamming Hermit/Squire is. Squire gives you actions and silver if needed, hermit can trash squire to get cultists. Maybe throw in a sage to help sift copper. Let hermits go mad when possible.
