nsnyder (20 seed) vs. Slice of Pi (45 seed)
nsnyder wins 4-2
Game 1: nsnyder 43 - Slice of Pi 56
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/03/game-20121203-164947-49c21b3f.html
I went smugglers/cities/goons, he went remodels and green cards. I think I made some tactical errors, and SoP played tactically well. Second to last turn I could have got within 2 points, but not quite enough.
Game 2: nsnyder 37 - Slice of Pi 30
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/03/game-20121203-170215-9b727adf.html
Governor/Militia game. I opened chapel and SoP went for silver to grab Governor earlier, but then bought a chapel later once SoP had some Governors. The game was very tactical in VP late. I kept one Estate (only partially on purpose) which kept me ahead in the point game, but SoP got a two duchy turn so I had to try to take the second to last province and it worked out.
Game 3: Slice of Pi 27? - nsnyder 39?
Forgot the log for this. Scores are approximate. I opened Smithy, SoP opened Remake, and my Smithy/Stables was fast enough that SoP couldn't keep up. Not a very interesting game, so the lack of log isn't a huge loss.
Game 4: Slice of Pi 46 - nsnyder 39
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/03/game-20121203-172311-a6f04cd1.html
I went for a green card rush with workshop/island/tunnel. SoP wisely avoided the discarding attacks and did cartographers and money. I didn't end the piles in time. I think I got a little unlucky with workshops colliding and too many 1's and not enough 2's, but he played well. I was hoping he would buy more tunnels to go with his cartographers so that the game would end faster, but he didn't bite.
Game 5: nsnyder 71 - Slice of Pi 57
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/03/game-20121203-173756-67e08c47.html
Colonies game where I went for governor/possession, and he skipped possessions. I got very unlucky with potions early (my first potion hit 5P the first two times and my second potion hit my first potion twice), but eventually the possessions got rolling just in time.
Game 6: nsnyder 64 - Slice of Pi 43
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/03/game-20121203-174705-4efe33d4.html
I thought I was doomed when SoP got the 5/2 and opened Mountebank/Embargo, but I somehow managed to crawl back. Ended up with pretty similar decks for the most part, except I had golds and he had governors. This had a very funny early part where SoP embargoed Mountebanks, I bought a Mountebank gaining a curse, and then ended up discarding that curse to block SoP first Mountebank play.
Thanks to Slice of Pi for the fun games!
