Smartie vs RTT - Definitely luck was on my side
Round 1:

My approach was actually initially just to get scavenger and soothsayer together. However, RTT move of getting apothecary made me decide to change my plan. Turned out to be really good for me! We actually used very similar strategies except for turn 8 which he decided to buy market in an attempt to get apothecary and another card. That didnt turn out well for him as he didnt get his apothecaries with his market. Despite so, the scores were consistently close: Till to the point where whoever gets the last province wins. I got my golds together and bought the last province, allowing a small win
Round 2:

Well, masquerade and tournament requires lots of luck to make them work, and I did. 1. I got an early gold 2. My 2 masquerades did not clash and 3. My province keep meeting his tournaments. And so that was basically it
Round 3:

The key cards were obviously sea hags and fishing villages. As all of you may already know, sea hags matches can be swingy if one discards the other sea hags on top deck. However, this time the curse split was quite even. On my first $5, I decided to buy a haggler while he decides to go immediately to duchy. When my haggler hits $4, I was actually beginning to think that I have made a bad choice, particularly there was no good $4. However, I decided to buy noble brigand, which may not be not a bad choice, as I could give him a copper and acquire a silver in my deck. My next haggler buy however, was I must say, beyond awesome! I managed to get $8 and get a gold! I dived the estates while he tries to get noble brigand to get my gold. As it didnt work the way he hoped, I got my little lucky victory
Good games RTT. Really enjoyed playing with you!
