Counting House is the best card ever

Key cards: Ironworks, Worker's Village, Scheme, Counting House. 

This was likely Counting House's intended purpose: Extreme Deck Control, with failure punishable by nearly automatic loss.  Success is rewarded by an everlasting thing of magnificence. 

So if you have the gall, and the Kingdom's just right... 

I've said some unkind things about a good friend.  I will probably be amending the article on the wiki at some point.

King's Court is like bacon; everything's better with it.

I'm sure this can be optimized, but basically the idea is that I build a fools-golden deck that can make itself more powerful while greening.

This wouldn't really benefit from card gainers, I don't think, since there are relatively few cheap components involved. Trashing the starting Estates would help with pulling the engine components together, though, I guess. (Part of the strategy here is to use Counting House and Chancellor to filter the deck to find the Schemes, Woodcutter and KCs...) Maybe Quarry to get the KCs... This was a turn slower than axlemn, but I really like putting together engines that are (eventually) 100% deterministic.
