This is a pretty obvious Rebuild game.  That's not what I want to highlight.  What's more important is responding to draws in the game.  Notice what I do on Turn 6.

Code: [Select]
Turn 5......
shark_bait draws Rebuild, Estate, Estate, Estate, Copper

Turn 6
shark_bait plays Rebuild
shark_bait names Province
shark_bait reveals Silver, Copper, Copper, Silver, Copper, Copper, Scavenger, Copper, Copper, Rebuild
shark_bait discards: Silver, Copper, Copper, Silver, Copper, Copper, Scavenger, Copper, Copper, Rebuild
shark_bait shuffles deck
shark_bait draws Copper, Copper, Estate, Estate, Rebuild

In my frustration of drawing Rebuild with 3 Estates I sealed my fate by playing it. 

Look at what my hands would have been.  Turn 7 would net $6 for Duchy.  Turn 8 would net $5 for Duchy, playing Rebuild and putting Rebuild on top of the deck.

In my frustration of having a Rebuild in hand with no targets I played it anyways.  Even good players make mistakes.  This was one that gave my opponent a very easy win.

Hello.  Name's Bruce.  It's all right.  I understand.  Why trust a shark, right?

Is quite curious - Who is the mystical "Celestial Chameleon"?

More like Chancellor because no green went on top.  But the fact remains that I had 2 guaranteed $5+ hands that I threw down the drain just to get a fresh deck that really wasn't better than the cards that were currently sitting in my deck.

Actually worse than Chancellor, because you got to see those amazing hands fly by you.
