Gold, and Province since they are in every game. I any guessing you want to adjust for frequency though. – user1873 Jul 5 '12 at 14:09
Colony (when in play), Platinum (when in play), Province, Gold, Chapel... (I'm at work and can't check, but I'd have to guess Bishop as the next card on the list) – Powerlord Jul 5 '12 at 19:45

The card that immediately pops to mind:

Chapel

Here's an article on dominionstrategy.com which outlines why this card is considered the best in the game. No other card allows you to shape your deck so quickly and early, ensuring you get useful and powerful draws to ramp up your deck.

If you look at the best openings ranking linked by Dor Shemer, you'll see many openings at the top of the list that include Chapel.

councilroom.com hosts stats for millions of online games played at dominion.isotropic.org.

It's currently down but it should give you the most accurate answer when it goes back up again.

For example, here is a ranking of the best openings from google's cache
