Well, Scout seemed useful here anyway...

ScoutObvious Goons/Duke/SCOUUUUUT game here. But seriously, Scout looks good on this board because I'll be getting a lot of green, and it can help me determine whether or not I should discard with Minion. I didn't get $4 that often so only got 2 Scouts (NC was the better $4 to open with, and I got a couple early Silver with $4s to get to Goons/Minion faster...).
My general strategy was Goons on $6, Minion on $5, Scout on $4, and use all Goons buys. First time I got $8+ I got a Province for no reason, but other than that I stuck to my strategy. I like my opponent's strategy of picking up some Festivals for extra VP from Goons, and that kept it close. I was always ahead on Duchies though. Fun game
