Mustard defeats ^_^_^_^ 6-1 (12-2)
Game 1
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201203/25/game-20120325-190742-eb460ded.htmlIn the first game I opened 5/2 and had some choices. I decided to grab a Upgrade first, since it is one of the best openers. There was an option to go BM-Wharf, which my opponent chose to try, but I felt that I could end the game faster with some Labs and some treasure. I picked up Chancellor rather early, which surprised my opponent. I like this card in games with non-terminal draw! It helps in a situation like this because it gets those Labs into play faster and helps accelerate the Upgrade (if you use Chancellor properly, anyway). At any rate, it worked. Mustard 42-32.
Game 2
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201203/25/game-20120325-191505-eb8b6f8b.htmlThe general rule (mine, anyway) is open Chapel or not at all. I broke that rule. Instead, I opened Smithy/Silver with the hopes of having a good Mint buy, and it worked. I was able to Mint away 6 Coppers very early, chapel the Estates and add lots and lots of Golds. We danced around the Gardens and Duchies in the end, but I was staying >6 up and was never in danger. Mustard 51-40.
Game 3
http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120325-192349-232804e2.htmlMy opponent opts out of Witches. Mustard 46 - -100.
Game 4
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201203/25/game-20120325-193909-3939faa4.htmlThis was a complete mess. Looking at all the attacks I overbuy Moat (isn't buying one Moat overbuying? How about four or five?) I get lucky and duck quite a few KC'd Swindlers. At one point in the mid-game I was tempted to resign. Somehow I get very lucky and win. Mustard 31-28.
Game 5
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201203/25/game-20120325-194741-6ea2a5a1.htmlMy opponent opens Witch, I get mine later but it misses the reshuffle. Game over. ^_^_^_^ 33 -21
Game 6-7
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201203/25/game-20120325-195448-e0d0a2d9.htmlhttp://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201203/25/game-20120325-200226-749aae76.htmlMy opponent tilts and resigns both games prematurely. He had a chance in both games. I hope he doesn't lose heart and drop from the tourney.
