I win the Stables split and keep it to just one HT, since there's no villages.  My opponent gets a second HT and a Bishop, which both seem like a waste to me, because you really want to use your one terminal slot for +buy right?  Am I wrong, or was I completely screwed by my draw on T15?  Little of both maybe?

My only other thought at this point is, maybe my Bank/Gold buy should have been Province/Mystic instead?

EDIT: I also just thought that maybe two terminals is reasonable, because I knew I wouldn't draw my deck reliably.

I don't have much confidence in saying precisely what went wrong, but the difference in trashing (3 estates vs. 1 estate and a copper) probably made a fairly big difference in the reliability. And 2 horse traders may not be too terrible of an idea (though I disagree too), since colliding them isn't  that bad.

I like a Horse Traders to start with and a Bishop later on.
Probably a little later then your opponent got it in this game, turn 6 I'd still buy Silver.
I'm not that much a fan of the second Horse Traders (even less when both players get a Bishop).

Your draws during turn 15 are off course disappointing but it's also quite likely to happen once if you start to green with a deck this, and your opponents turn 16 is very similar.

What Stef said about the draw... disappointing but not debilitating.  A truly bad draw with this deck would have been something like 3 Stables and 2 greens... that would count as debilitating.

You probably misread the log. That is exactly what happened on his turn 15.

I'd take a bank instead of silver + stables on turn 10. Taking excess stables can increase your drawing but can lead to dead turns, as you unlucky to find. Also with your opponent taking a bishop you need to take advantage of the free trashing to assemble the deck quickly, before the vp chips become decisive in an endgame.
