Not sure whether this should be in Help or just general Game Reports, but since I have some questions for people, I thought I'd put it here.
This was my final League game of this season.

I feel like my opponent and I got bad luck of different kinds throughout this, who knows if it balanced out.
I opened 5/2, which was my primary piece of bad luck (5/2 seems awful on this board), and it also took me forever to hit 6. It felt like Apothecary should be better at hitting 6 than it was, is my intuition correct there? I also had a really crappy discard choice on turn 13.
Meanwhile my opponent's bad luck mostly lay in some really unfortunate Tournament/Province stuff. Took him forever to get a Prize AND he never (or almost never? not sure) managed to block my few Tournament plays.
Questions:
1) Was I right to get Potion with 5? Apothecary being there and University being the only splitter, that Potion seems absolutely vital.
2) I pretty much ignored the Tournaments except to contest the pile slightly, thinking I wouldn't be wanting the Province in my deck. It felt wrong doing it, but maybe it's still correct? Even with some luck I feel like my opponent wouldn't have got much use out of the prizes before the game ended. Halfheartedly getting one or two Tournaments was probably the worst of both worlds, but that pile had to run out eventually.
3) I feel like Sea Hag was probably a mistake, but I'm not sure. Maybe that helped slow his Tournaments down enough?
Related to 3: I definitely got too many terminals, at the very least one of the Bridges should have been a Wishing Well. (It actually took me just way, way, way too long to notice (derp) the obvious Wishing Well/Apothecary synergy.) I had planned to get some more Universitys to cover the terminals, but never seemed to get the chance. Connected:
4) Should I have got a second Potion at some point? I wanted at least one more Apothecary and a couple more Universitys but it seemed to take forever to get the Potion round.
5) Possession. Completely ignored, which I think is probably fine in a Goons game, our decks not really being tailored to gain decent cards without playing Goons. Right?
