Pretty much by turn 4 I had given up, I got a hearty chuckle out of my turn 12 double colony buy, laughed when I got the "lead" on turn 13, was very confused by his turn 14 purchase, and then managed to tie (and honestly was unlucky I didn't win) on turn 15.


I understand a lot of what he did wrong: not continuing to ramp up with coppersmiths, playing a very poor end game, etc., but what I don't know is what I did right. Did I just get incredibly lucky? Are platinums just that good?

Your opponent is relying on big tactician turns and finds the tactician near the end of the deck after some of the reshuffles. Tuns 7 and 8 are almost complete waste for him. You get tacticians drawn early after each reshuffle and buy some platinum that is good outside of the tactician turn as well.
