Both of us had the same idea. Build a big draw engine, draw most/all of your deck, buy lots of cards. We both did... reasonably similar things. I went slightly more into Governors to get some Golds, he went more into Rabbles for the extra draw. But yet, I got totally destroyed, 6 provinces to 2, and probably would have been 7-1 had I not broken PPR to risk catching up. Looking back at the game, I had quite a bit fewer +actions, but that's really about all I can make about why I lost this one.

Anyone got any clever ideas about it?

Looks to me like he just get luckier.  With virtually identical decks after turn 4, his turn 5 is Village -> Envoy, while your turn 5 is Envoy -> $2 because you draw your villages from the Envoy.  His turn 6 is Village -> Rabble, while your turn 6 is Rabble -> I'm guessing mostly now-useless Actions.  His turn 7 is Village -> Rabble again, while your turn 7 is Village -> Village -> no drawer.

And at that point, it sounds like game to me.  Doubt there was much to be done.

I'm guessing that he got better value from the 2 silvers gifted by your governor than you did from your 2 gold. With his slightly better drawing deck he played those silvers more often.

Hm, yeah, I did feel like I got unlucky after the 2nd shuffle, but wasn't quite sure it was my deck stuttering or not. And perhaps he did get better value from those silvers. I should probably learn to avoid Governor more when it's out...
