No Retreat, No Surrender

In addition to being the title of an excellent 1986 movie, it's also valueable dominion advice.

Radix was owning me in this game:

http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201211/28/game-20121128-071214-00d2b19c.html

His deck was thinner (salvager), he had more torturers, more villages, and he got the forge first. 

He started in on torturer locking, which was extremely unpleasant, and I was very close to rage quitting.

Around turn 11, the tide turned and I pulled off a triple torturer, and I was able to lock him out, get my own forge, and then clean my deck down into province mode.

Just listen to JCVD people.

Game like that sure can be rough.  Your opponent shows a classic deck control mistake on Turn 13 with a mid-turn reshuffle that forces ALL of his Walled Villages to miss the reshuffle.  After a mistake like that, there is no coming back.

Hello.  Name's Bruce.  It's all right.  I understand.  Why trust a shark, right?

Is quite curious - Who is the mystical "Celestial Chameleon"?
