If you have a bunch of Quarries in play and you've inherited Catacombs, you can gain a King's Court when you trash one of your Estates. Not sure if it's technically gaining it with Catacombs' on-trash effect.

I was thinking along the same line, but I would have thought the estate-you-inherited also goes down in coin cost, because it's an action card at that point.

It's a when-trash ability, so it happens after you've trashed the Estate. At that point, it's no longer your Estate, so it's just a regular Estate.

Correct. It's quite confusing interaction since you use the on-trash effect on Estate while at the same time utilizing that it is actually no longer there.

Yeah, this is just bs rulings, haha.

I don't think this works. Quarry lowers the cost of your Estates as well, they are Actions.

They're not your Estates, they're in the trash.

I'm not sure of the timing on "when you trash" this abilities and whether or not it's still considered yours when you check the price. You could be right.

Your first turn you have $2, and so expect to have $5 on your second turn.. but you don't.  How?

Similarly, you have $5 on T1 and so expect $2 on T2, but don't -- how?

Your opponent buys lost city?

[ThetaSigma12]

Borrow?

Noble birgand?

[Dingan]

Ah, guess those work, but not the solution I was thinking.  And also to clarify: you don't have >=$5 to spend (so Lost City doesn't work).

[LostPhoenix]

Buy doctor with $5, trash 2 copper.
Draw 3 estates, a copper, and your doctor, causing you to have $1 turn 2.

[ephesos]

You bought Save with $1 so you could have $6 next turn.

Or you bought Scouting Party/Silver on $5 so that you could get rid of all the Estates and hopefully get a good draw for the next turn.

Or Travelling Fair, or Expedition, or Ball, or Donate, or Nomad Camp, or...

[faust]

You bought Travelling Fair/Curse, topdecking the Curse!

Or, more realistically, Travelling Fair/Advance (Nercopolis into Sea Hag).

[Awaclus]

The second one is probably more difficult to think of, although WW got somewhat close.

Since people have stopped guessing, the other actual answer is it allowed my opponent to upgrade his Estates into Governors with my Governor.

Or your opponent bought Travelling Fair/Advance-Sea Hag/Mission.

[Dingan]

Holy crap, there are way more answers than I thought of.  /fail  Here's what I was thinking:

Opponent goes first and opens Mission - Alms - Masquerade, then you do your T1, then your opponent plays Masq, you pass them a Copper and they pass you an Estate.

Q1.
You bought Travelling Fair and Ruined Market to topdeck to buy 2 Fool's Gold on T2.
Or you bought Villa on T2.
Q2.
Nomad Camp

Q. Gain a card costing $5 before the cleanup of T4 when you have WORST SHUFFLE LUCK.
No Coin Token, no Event.

Using Shelters:

$3/$4 split, else just buy a $5 cost.

If starting with Hovel in hand, buy Great Hall trashing Hovel, then T2 buy Overlord.
 11 cards in deck, and one cantrip: you will have Overlord T4 at the latest, play it emulating Soothsayer to gain Gold.
If starting with $3 and no Hovel, buy Silver. T2 buy Mill trashing Hovel.
 11 cards in deck and one cantrip, $9 total money: you will either have $5 in one hand, or draw Mill.
  If you draw it with $3, play it and discard Estate and the card you drew to get $5.
  If you draw it with $2, there is $6 left in the remaining 6 cards: your next hand is all Copper, use it to buy a $5
If starting with $4 and no Hovel, buy Nomad Camp.
 T2 with Nomad Camp and $3, play it and buy a $5.
 T2 with Nomad Camp and $2: last card in hand must be Hovel. Play Nomad Camp, buy Mill trashing Hovel.
  As before, 11 cards with cantrip, Nomad Camp acts just like Silver.

5/2 or 2/5 openings are trivial.

On 3/4, you can do this:
  - open Watchtower/Doctor(overpay 1) (shuffle)
     - if you reveal WT, put it on top of your deck
     - otherwise, trash.
  - on T3, things split up depending on what happens.
       - Case 1: hand is WtCCXX
          - buy Squire, trash, gain Rabble.
       - Case 2: hand is WtEEEC
          - don't play Watchtower, next hand is CCCCC.
       - Case 3: hand is CCCCC
          - buy $5.
       - Case 4: hand is EXXXX (in this case you always trashed, since Wt is not in hand)
          - next hand is EEWtCC or better; then buy Squire, trash.

I cannot really get 4/3 to work though.

I have a simpler answer.

3/4 split:
T1: buy Silver
T2: buy Nomad Camp
T3: if you have...

$3: you have $5 on T4
$4: buy Nomad Camp to have $5 on T4
$5 or more: you already have $5

4/3 is very tough. I used 2nd Edition.

[ephesos]

4/3:
T1: Doctor, trashing Copper(or Estate, better unless we play Doctor, will address)
T2: Draw 2 Copper, 2 Estate, shuffle 4 Coppers, an Estate, and a Doctor, draw 1 (5 cards in deck). Buy Lurker.
 3 possible draws: Copper, Estate, Doctor. Estate is just as good/better than Copper draw.
T3: Draw at worst either 4 Coppers and an Estate(Doctor T2), or 3 Coppers Doctor Estate(Copper T2)
 $4 no Doctor: Buy Doctor, overbuying by 1. Shuffle 2 Copper, 2 Estate, 1 Doctor, 1 Lurker. Trash top card if it isn't Lurker. Guaranteed Lurker in next hand.
  T4: Lurker Squire gaining Rabble
 $3 Doctor Estate: Play Doctor naming Copper. Shuffle 3 Copper, 2 Estate, Lurker(or 4 Copper Estate Lurker, Copper replacing Estate from initial trash). Guaranteed Lurker in next hand.
  T4: Lurker Squire gaining Rabble.
