Don't think it quite qualifies as epic, but this was a fun win.  I got a witch just before I realized my opponent was going for a Workshop-Gardens strategy (which he went all-out till the end).  So I played the witch sparingly and other times dicarded it with my cellars, trying to get a few quick provinces, and it totally worked.
He lost by two points when he had two curses and "curses!" was his final comment

I think this may be the first post I've ever seen here from a base-only match.

It's blasphemy! GAH!

Base only is a fine way to play. Also, I think you should have played witch more. If you give him all 10 curses, that adds 10 cards to his deck. If he gets all 8 gardens, then he gets 8 extra points from the gardens, but loses 10 from the curses. There is the added benefit of making his deck much worse, and ensuring that he can't buy duchies.

Does anyone have the sim data on Witch BM vs WS/Gardens? I think it's something like 65-35 in favor of Witch, but it's been a while since I last checked, so I might be off.

This.  Cursing hurts even against gardens.

That, and with 10 extra cards, it increases the probability of having a dud hand in which he draws no workshops.
