[Mean Mr Mustard]

http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201106/23/game-20110623-063459-90bafb48.html

Funny board with Ambassador, Masquerade and Possession.  My opponent opened with a Tactician, so I thought that I would go big money early and buy a couple of apprentices before buying a Potion.  I figured by the time I would get a Possession his deck would be slim enough for me to abuse his Ambassador.

As it turned out, I started hitting 8$ hands before I got around to buying the potion so I decided to race his slow Ambassador hand.  I started buying Provinces and Apprentices at $5.

Beat him 4-0 on Provinces.  He finished the game on a couple of Possessions but it was too late.

There was an element of risk here. Your opponent could have sent you his second ambassador (repeatedly) and made better use of it in your hand than in his hand.

I also realized, that even when my opponents were totally screwed by my ambassador that Apprentice lets them recover from it.

Seems like a quite fine counter to Ambassador

He beat me to it.
