Crossroads, Fortune Teller, Lookout, Death Cart, Sea Hag, Wandering Minstrel, Festival, Merchant Ship, Stables, Nobles
If it makes you feel any better I'm coming off a string of incredibly frustrating losses. I don't know if it's rotten luck or if I've somehow lost my ability to play a halfway decent game of dominion but it seems like every session I play lately ends with me wanting to bang my head against a wall. It doesn't make a crappy game like this any easier to deal with but I guess I wanted to say that I feel your pain.
Maybe bad luck, but you did only have 5 Coppers in a deck of 16 Cards, $2 is about average for your money density. Your opponent's luck, on the other hand...

It if makes you feel any better, I experienced the same lately.
well, i did - $5 in 15 cards is $0.33/card, or $1.67/hand, less than 2. Yes. Ok, lookout can leave copper on top, but not always, and Winstrel plus opponent's sea hag does more in the opposite direction.Maybe bad luck, but you did only have 5 Coppers in a deck of 16 Cards, $2 is about average for your money density.

That is not really a fair analysis. Wandering Minstrel is a cantrip, so you should at least count 15 cards. And Lookout should help clear some of the dead cards for the next hand. I guess we should count as bad luck poor Lookout trashing as well as bad money arrangement.
I think opening CR > Lookout was a big mistake here.

That's harsh. What about getting cute and open Stables/Crossroads?

I thought about that. May very well have been better.
I think you can reasonably open Merchant Ship/Festival (maybe Stables) with Crossroads and pick up Hag/Lookout on your next shuffle. This should be competitive with the Hag openings. I would choose the Merchant Ship probably. Very nice economy, should give you a better chance at $5/$6 hands relative to your opponent.

Crossroads and lookout is a complete nombo btw in case anyone was still in any doubt after seeing the game log.
If I have understood the term correctly, nombo is anti-synergy between cards. In that case, something can be a nombo without looking like a combo.Crossroads and lookout is a complete nombo btw in case anyone was still in any doubt after seeing the game log.
Can something be a nombo without looking like a combo? Or is there something that looks like a combo that I am not seeing?
