The Mythical Saboteur Pin

Q) What do you get with Golem, Apothecary, Saboteur, Stables, and King's Court?
A) An opponent with 6 coppers, 4 apothecaries, one Noble Brigand and no hope.

Perhaps this one was better suited for the "I'm sorry" thread.

Now, I've played plenty of games where repeated saboteur plays severely hampered someones deck. I've never actually managed to get to the point where they have only 1-2 more 3+ cost cards, though. Now, my opponent basically resigned and didn't replace his trashed KC here, but that would have been reduced to a silver at best at the end of my turn.

Hilariously, I think the key play here that gave me that advantage was buying/gaining Treasure Maps for economy. So two of the key cards in this game were Saboteur and Treasure Map, something I'm not sure i've ever heard before.

I have seen Saboteur as the keycard (not that rare with a KC or TR-fueled enginge), and of course I have seen Treasure map as the keycard - but never both in the same kingdom!

I once had an opponent on a Sab lock, playing several each hand thanks to KC.  Unfortunately, I failed to get any victory cards, and didn't notice that he was on the verge of 3-piling until the game ended.  Final score, 5-3, in my opponent's favor.
