It's good that Mystic works with deck inspection, and otherwise it's just guessing. Really shows that predicting the future is just guesswork.It isn't guesswork when there has been an Oracle helping her predict the future. Or a Fortune Teller. And even a Scrying Pool is sometimes enough.
At first the Mystic is just blindly guessing, but if she gets it wrong then the next Mystic predicts with 100% accuracy.

Of course. Gotta load up on those advisors
Going for Rebuilds, I would open Silver/Woodcutter. Lookout doesn't help me buy Rebuilds or Duchies, and I really just don't care about the Curses; in the game, Lookout is already a liability for you at turn 10, having to topdeck a Duchy for your next turn. You manage to trash three Curses in total, but at the cost of buying fewer Rebuilds in the opening, and therefore not playing it as early and often as possible. On turn 5, why do you buy a Duchy, of course it's better to buy another Rebuild - this is the biggest mistake, for sure. At turn 8, I would buy Estate over Silver, to avoid that situation at turn 10 where you don't have any more Estates to Rebuild. On turns 15 and 16, you can buy Estates; you have a lead, and piling out on Estates, Duchies and Curses is probably the fastest way to end the game. Still, after all that, you only lost by one point.
