BTW I would love to know what you guys think about some of my more interesting games.

Game 2 against -Stef-: Is a Hunting Party Stack reasonable or is Double-Tactician a must?
Game 4 against -Stef-: Could I skip over IGG and go for a KC/Oracle/Festival/Baron/SP engine?
Game 2 against Mic Qsenoch: Who should win this? The possessor or possess-ee. It is very close, and I bet it could swing either way game to game, but which strategy do you prefer? Or is it neither?

Other commentaries on my play are welcome, as always. I might pose questions about my set with Morgrim if he posts logs, too.

Game 2 against -Stef-: Is a Hunting Party Stack reasonable or is Double-Tactician a must?

I wonder if Possession is a concern here. Possession wrecks double Tactician. But maybe the game is not long enough?

Game 4 against -Stef-: Could I skip over IGG and go for a KC/Oracle/Festival/Baron/SP engine?

If there were trashing, I think you could. Without trashing, SP is awful against cursing, and KC/Oracle/Festival seems too unreliable in terms of what 5-card hands can start the engine.

Game 2 against Mic Qsenoch: Who should win this? The possessor or possess-ee. It is very close, and I bet it could swing either way game to game, but which strategy do you prefer? Or is it neither?

In this game, what he got from the 3 Possessions was: Wharf, Farming Village, Duchy, Farming Village, Duchy, Farming Village, Harem, City, Silver, Silver. (Also he stole your Wharf duration effect once.) Total value: 5+4+5+4+5+4+6+5+3+3 = 44. The cost for those Possessions can be valued at roughly 3*8 = 24. So it seems like they were cost effective in this game.

On the other hand, if they are Provinces instead, then MQ has 3 more Provinces at the end of turn 15, and at that point Possession had only been played twice.

While we wait for the results of the finals, I will say that one thing that is really nice about the new online dominion is that we should be able to view games like this as they occur. So for any other problems the new product might cause with the new tourney, that looks like it will be really cool.

Great match with Rabid, the rubber game was decided mostly by first turn advantage and some bad luck for him, but it was a fun series. Thanks to zxcvbn2 for hosting.

[Rabid]

Thanks to all for some great games.
Looking forward to a rematch next month.
