Self-Referencing Cards

I think we have a record in this expansion for cards that mention themselves on themselves - Madman, Spoils, Rats and Cultist all do this.  Actually, do any other cards in the other sets reference themselves?  All I can think of are Transmute and Golem...

Madman and Spoils don't reference themselves, they reference "Madman Pile" and "Spoils Pile". Like Black Market references "Black Market Pile".

Edit: or NV references "Native Village mat"

After checking,

Black Market and many of the cards with tokens and mats- Embargo, Pirate Ship, Island, Native Village, Trade Route- reference themselves, too.

There was a <a href="http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=723.msg9963">What's Missing puzzle</a> about this a while ago (uh, spoilers).

And yeah, so far fully a third of the Dark Ages cards we've seen have been self-referencing, but only eleven cards before Dark Ages.

Oh, how I wished Goons referenced itself. "If you have any Goons in play, when you buy a card, +1 VP."

You don't like the stacking effect of playing multiple Goons?

We have a few lists of lists. What we really need is a list of the lists of lists.

Highway, Princess and Goons kind of reference to themselves, don't they?

I mean, the "this" stands for "this card" which is the Highway/Goons/Princess.

And then we need a list of all lists which do not list themselves.  (Does that list list itself?)
