Bishop insanity + who would have won?

So I was disconnected from a great game last night, and it's driving me nuts not knowing how it ends! So 2 purposes to this thread: I wanted to get people's opinions on who would have won, also I wanted to show an insane Bishop turn I had.

Part of turn 17:

Code: [Select]
GendoIkari plays a Bishop.
... getting +$1 and +1 ▼.
... GendoIkari trashes a Bishop and gets +2 ▼.
... RRR trashes nothing.
GendoIkari plays a Bishop.
... getting +$1 and +1 ▼.
... GendoIkari trashes a Bishop and gets +2 ▼.
... RRR trashes nothing.
GendoIkari plays a Bishop.
... getting +$1 and +1 ▼.
... GendoIkari trashes a Bishop and gets +2 ▼.
... RRR trashes nothing.

So I had 35 points from Bishops (across 6 turns only!). I think given the way the game was progressing, I would have been slightly favored to win... but not by much.

I think with best play the game is heavily in your favour, although I'm not sure what plan you have in mind for the endgame. (Trashing Bishops, Vaults, Workshops, trashing all your treasure then buying them again, didn't exploit Vault+Mint, what's going on?) Opponent is kind-of pinned, he's got not much buying power, needs maybe two turns to get his deck humming again.

Noticed: the guy who opens Vault/nothing ends up with no Vault in his deck but has both Workshop and Bishop and is heavily reliant on Bishop. The guy who opens Bishop/Workshop has no Workshop in his deck but has a Vault, which just so happens to be his last purchase before the game ends prematurely and seems to be his plan for the endgame? Nice reversal.
