Is there a way to get a separate ranking for non-attacks when they compete with non-attacks?

Why do you want a separate ranking?

I attempted to replicate some of what I thought were the more interesting results, and my results differ from yours in a few cases, so I was hoping you could post the bots you used.

I have Margrave beating Library (~49-42), and I have Vault beating Noble Brigand (~54-42).

I didn't put any effort into optimizing VP card buys, so that might be the difference (I could see Library maybe beating Margrave via early VP buys, counting on the filtering from Margrave to get them out of the way). I just took the default bots with Margrave buying 2, Library 3, Vault unlimited (but 1 above Gold), and Noble Brigand 4. I also tried messing around with limiting number of NBs based on amount of treasure, but couldn't really find something that beat Vault.

Hm, I think you're right, I'll go back and check.

This might help you out:

For those who want it, here's an XML of all the latest single-card optimizations I have.

So the Noble BrigandWW bot beats the current Vault bot, but loses if the Vault player buys 1 Vault ahead of Gold.

You can just about toss the torturer results out the window, because the simulator plays TERRIBLY against it. Oracle is underrated, rather than overrated, because it plays the gain part worse than the attack. And I don't think noble brigand is much overrated at all, in these strict matchups. Obviously, in real games, if there's some good virtual money around, or if you can pick up venture or harem or something... but in the head-to-head, you're dependent on that silver/gold.

So now we have Beggar, Catacombs, Count, Cultist, Hunting Grounds, Pillage, Scavenger, and Storeroom.

There's also Death Cart, which might not count since you also get Ruins? We've also got Rogue and Knights, but those seem like they'd be a little weird to simulate.

Counterfeit is worth taking a look at too.

I don't really think Counterfeit is a good BM+X card. It's somewhere between a Moneylender and a Salvager that can't trash non-Treasure cards, and neither are particularly great in BM+X.
