OK, I haven played for like 6+ months and am slowly getting back.

This seemed like quite an interesting Kingdom:

Code: [Select]

University, Procession, Counting House, Graverobber, Ill-Gotten Gains, Jester, Treasury, Vault, Witch, King's Court

Thoughts? Strategy?

(Here is how it went: http://www.gokosalvager.com/static/logprettifier.html?/20140330/log.507c07d751c30da02a09cd1f.1396216914885.txt )

I think university is too slow, as you want to get regularly to $5 with your own money, not only at T7 with university. I'd go for two witches, maybe some IGG's or later vaults. Sure, University->Treasury + Graverobber/KingsCourt is a thing, but I'd fear that my deck gets flooded by an opponent going for witches asap.

IGG and Witch, no trashing to speak of, no +buy, the only village is Uni.  While I'm sure there are some shenanigans available with KC, I think rushing IGG is going to be viable as well.  Or perhaps one Witch, then IGGs.

Isn't the IGG rush much weaker with a real curser in the kingdom? The IGG's become a crap buy once the curses are out, so if you're looking for three-pile you need another option.

If not for the flood of curses you can't really deal with, there are some fun tricks that could be done here. Uni picks up $5s for graverobber to turn into provinces. Procession-KC shenanigans for a mass province turn maybe. Who needs +buy. Unfortunately, I don't see how the engine player could compete with the influx of curses from a witch/IGG curse spam.

Well, that and Procession only gains actions, so those shenanigans aren't that impressive.

Doot doo doo, don't mind me. Nothing to see here. Move along.

While the traditional IGG-Duchy rush is weaker, it doesn't mean you can't buy IGGs to tip the curse split in your favour. 

I think I would try IGG-Counting House without the Witch.  Maybe not the best, but it's fun and pretty decent.  You can gain copper with IGG in order to pump up a CH that you haven't yet drawn that shuffle.
