Last game for a while -- a fun one

I built this funky engine, unsure if it would work at all.  But it took on a 10 Fool's Golds-Embassy deck and won.  Then I looked at the clock and it was midnight.  Seemed like a good time to start a Dominion vacation.

Here's the game!

Nice engine! Its always fun to try and build an engine out of weird parts like this.  I never quite know how it will turn out.

Why would you want 10 FGs in an Embassy deck?

PileDriver goal?  Would've helped to win though...

There is no +buy except really Outpost.

Talisman has the needed effect to get the FGs quicker, but yeah, not sure what he would do if he had like 5 FGs at once.

I guess it just sets him up with decent money density.

I think it's tricky to know exactly where to stop when you're not being contested on a power card.  It's also tricky to know when to start greening when you're playing money vs. an engine.  My guess is, this deck was designed to be able to guarantee-buy a Province on all Embassy hands, on most non-Embassy hands, and on some Outpost-Embassy hands.

But, some tinkering, and Iain's deck would probably have beaten mine.  Maybe opening Torturer-FG instead of Embassy-FG?
