This is the second of two games that I won against Watno using a completely different strategy - there was little crossover of cards, and each of us basically let the other go willy-nilly with stacks. The first game was just as interesting, actually - my Highway-Grand Market stack vs his Village, Festival, and Library set. We were neck and neck and emptied VP piles until I had a 43-37 lead, and since he was first player he took 3 piles to concede.

My goal was to get Alchemists set up to run a Treasure Map, which actually took a long time. In that time, he was able to set up DoubleTact and get all 10 Minions. I should have been smoked.
After we opened with Provinces, I bought a Possession. His Minions were my Minions, and his 2 buy turns with a crapload of cards were now mine. I actually only pulled 2 Provinces from him in one turn, but in a game where he should have had distinct material advantage, I was given enough time to run a Possession-based deck and use just about every meaningful card in the game.
Really crazy wins.
