Beri's case study #1

I played a fun game yesterday and only saw some combos as I played, so I'd like to have your view on which option would be best.

I hope this is the good place to post this kind of things, otherwise, feel free to move the topic.

We played with:

Poor house
Hamlet
Nomad camp
Baron
Mining village
Patron
Horn of plenty
Laboratory
Bazaar
Peddler

Obviously Patron goes well with Horn of plenty, but then I saw the following:
Poor house + hamlet (get peddlers and provinces)
Hamlet + baron (get estates, peddlers and provinces)

What path would have been yours?

This should be in the 'Game Reports' area, not in the 'Dominion Articles' area, because that's the place where you can submit game reports, get feedback, etc.

I look at this board and see a potential HoP megaturn.  As such, as long as you have enough draw (Lab), you can have 3-4 HoPs that turn into Provinces later.  Although, there is no thinning, so having >10 junk cards is risky, as it would take 10 Labs to draw 10 junk cards.

As such, I would only pick up Labs, Hamlets, and (free) Peddlers until I was strong enough to add in some HoP's, then use the HoP's to get more Labs, a few more HoPs, and other stuff until I had 8 uniques.  Poor House / Hamlet is tempting, but (1) that would probably never get you more than 1 Province per turn (which a megaturn can overcome), and (2) for the mentioned reasons, I don't want any cards that decrease my handsize other than HoP (Poor House, Baron, Nomad Camp).  I might open a Mining Village to use the $2 to spike a Lab early (a Silver is another junk card in the HoP megaturn).

I am completely ignoring Patron, sorry :)
