Game Reports / Embassy Big Money questions
« on: June 19, 2012, 01:28:21 pm »
I just played the following game:
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201206/19/game-20120619-102149-ddad25aa.html
I played a strategy which basically relied on two Embassies to draw cards for big money and it got me my fourth province on turn 10. But I have two questions.
1. I had 5 silver, 7 copper and 1 gold. That seems like too much silver and not enough gold. Did I get really lucky? Should I have skipped province buys for gold? Or does Embassy BM work well with lots of Silver?
2. There were a few elephants in the room such as Goons, Margrave, Vault and Possession. I chose to ignore them and my opponent only bought one Margrave. Would one or more of those cards been a better choice? With no village, I didn't even consider an engine but I did consider possession. But would it have just been too slow?
