Round 5, HiveMindEmulator wins with 4 vs 3 RabidReally close match, first player winning all games expect the 7th!
Game 1http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/27/game-20121227-112157-8399a354.htmlAdventurer, Cartographer, Duke, Expand, Hamlet, Harem, Potion, Rabble, Scheme, Transmute, and Treasure Map
HME failed transmute into hamlet rabble Duke vs my Rabble BM.
Game 2http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/27/game-20121227-114159-5242dca7.htmlBank, Black Market, Courtyard, Great Hall, Hoard, Horn of Plenty, Mint, Potion, Scheme, Vineyard, and Wishing Well
Very strange game, HME gets the turn 3 ambassador from the black market.
My scheme BM opening has BM as card 12 and I'm in real trouble.
I get chapel so I think I have a chance.
But before I can clean deck and start on the vineyards HME finishes it with a HoP mega turn.
Game 3http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/27/game-20121227-115405-4d50dddd.html Colony, Governor, Haggler, Mountebank, Oasis, Platinum, Potion, Royal Seal, Steward, Tournament, Trading Post, Transmute, and University
We both open Potion / steward.
I win the race to the combo of gov to draw deck, Followers to make them discard.
Game 4http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/27/game-20121227-120200-f41eed69.htmlBaron, Border Village, Cache, Chapel, Expand, Explorer, Ironworks, Moneylender, Monument, and Scout
HME goes for a nice border village monument very small deck.
I play this game terribly, opening ironworks!
Then trying all sorts of bad ideas instead of just chapeling down.
Game 5http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/27/game-20121227-121030-68ae1c3f.htmlCrossroads, Familiar, Jester, Mandarin, Menagerie, Mining Village, Potion, Remodel, Salvager, Scrying Pool, and Wharf
With 5/2 starts I go for the obvious route of wharf + cross roads.
HME in the second seat opens jester.
And gets the dream draw of flipping my wharf on T3.
HME then diverts for familiars, while I stick to wharf + cross roads + mining village (Which I trash for a prov, then 3 pile the curses).
Game 6http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/27/game-20121227-122152-4582ac3f.htmlApothecary, Chancellor, Farming Village, Hunting Party, King's Court, Native Village, Oracle, Potion, Smugglers, Trading Post, and Tribute
I keep it simple with chancellor HP as the only + gain is smugglers.
HME builds a nice Apothecary engine for the win.
Game 7http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/27/game-20121227-122744-7b3f69f2.htmlApprentice, Bank, Festival, Fishing Village, Fortune Teller, Horn of Plenty, Island, Lighthouse, Secret Chamber, and Tournament
As first player on a tournament board I liked my chances but it wasn't to be.
With golds on T4, 5, 6 I felt like I was ahead.
But maybe one of these should be apprentice?
HME wins the race to Province and immediately takes Followers and with it the match.
Thanks for the match HME good luck in the rest of the event.
