http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201209/18/game-20120918-111937-5ec9691b.htmlI just played this epic (40 turn) length game against Mr. OWB - featuring:
Amba, Mountebank, Walled Village, and Monument
OWB opened Amba / Silver, I opened WV / Amba - aiming for a 2nd amba during the first shuffle.
When there are villages on the board, its going to be hard to convince me to not go double amba, but with $4 villages I frequently like to buy one turn 1 just in case I can't buy it T3/4 (which is most likely going to happen if you get lucky and split your ambas)
Does anyone know the best way to simulate such openings?
In this game I got off to a slow start, but then was able to thin my deck faster than OWB. When he started firing multiple mountebanks he had the edge (deck size wise), but at that point we were in full on bloat mode and it didn't matter quite as much.
After the game he suggested that perhaps triple amba was the way to go...
