There were no $2 cards in the game. My opponent opened nothing/Hunting Party. This backfired rather spectacularly on his turns 3 and 4:
--- mac'n's turn 3 ---
mac'n plays a Hunting Party.
... drawing 1 card and getting +1 action.
... revealing 2 Coppers and 3 Estates.
... revealing a Copper, a Copper, a Copper, a Copper, and a Copper.
... discarding 5 Coppers.
mac'n plays 2 Coppers.
(mac'n reshuffles.)
(mac'n draws: a Copper, a Hunting Party, and 3 Estates.)
--- mac'n's turn 4 ---
mac'n plays a Hunting Party.
... drawing 1 card and getting +1 action.
... revealing 2 Coppers and 3 Estates.
... revealing a Copper, a Copper, a Copper, a Copper, and a Copper.
... discarding 5 Coppers.
(mac'n reshuffles.)
(mac'n draws: 3 Coppers and 2 Estates.)
