I just played the following board:
fools gold
throne room, salvager
tactician, inn, cartographer
fairgrounds, goons
possession
Don't remember the last card, neither of us got one.
We both open tactician/fools gold. tact/fg can be very fast, and salvager can help speed it up to fight an opponent who's going for a long game. It's weak to possession though, because a possession on your tactician hand hurts a lot.
My opponent did tact/fg. I half-heartedly got fg, I think we split 6/4 just because I was lucky with my tactician. Then I transitioned- I got a salvager and some throne rooms and a possession, and trashed my fools golds whenever. I built a limping double tactician deck (using inn and cartographer to hit my second tactician) which usually hit a couple of goons and a possession.
Discard attack (goons) and possession together is tricky; if your opponent knows a possession is coming they just discard good cards. I don't think it's that bad though; if you don't possess they are left with a bad hand, and maybe you can throne room a possession.
My opponent resigned when there were 3 provinces left (4 were in his deck, 1 was in the trash) and I had 20 vp tokens. I think he still had a good chance considering salvager. But my double tactician deck was just reaching its peak I think.
I'd like to play this one again. Very interesting interactions. I think tactician/fg/salvager can beat what I did but I'm not srue.
