Title: First time I've made NV/apoth work

Contraband in early game to buy lots of actions, then pseudo trash with native village/apoth.  My opponent didn't really stop me from getting what I wanted with contraband until later, so that helped.
Native Village mat: 8 vineyards, 1 province, 1 contraband, 3 estates.

Post your NV/apoth games; I try a lot but this is the first time it has really worked for me.

Whats the strat here? Use Apocs to filter out the Victory cards to put them on top and then Native Village them?

Didnt realise that would be so strong, will give it a go next time!

I recall the standard Apo/NV combo being decent, but not spectacular.

A bit similar to the Golden deck where you need to spend some turns setting up, but once you've gotten it you can keep going.

Open Potion/Copper.

If count.Copper<8, buy Copper
If $8, buy Province
If $2P, buy Apothecary
If count.Potion<2 And $4, buy Potion
If count.Native Village<1 And $2, buy Native Village

Never play Native Village blind; only ever play it when you know the top card of your deck is green. After you get 3 or 4 Apothecaries, you'll be able to chain them to draw your whole deck every turn (by reordering them to draw each other, and then your Native Village) and use your Native Village to set aside the Province you bought last turn, then buy a new Province.



EDIT: I'm wrong, you only buy 1 potion. Also, ignore the misclick on turn 18. ._.

Did it last night. Played the opening slightly wrong but got lucky with NV hitting an early estate blind. There was also Caravan as a small GS counter, plus I picked up a GS as well since I would have the action to spare.
