It seems like he just kept getting tons more cycling early, even as he built a much bigger deck, while my Ironworks might as well have never existed. 46 points in 12 turns is also just ridiculous in and of itself...

(I'm also starting to really hate Envoy.)

By turn 6 you had bought three silvers and this prevented your deck from ever being a good engine.

Also, quarry is SO important here with the + buy. This is also part of what makes silver so unnecessary. You want one pronto, its so good here with all the good 2-4 cost cards, and nobles as well!

In a related point, you weren't optimizing your buying power well. You gained crossroads with your ironworks early on, when you could have gained WV or envoy or quarry. The crossroads could have been bought with your $3 hands instead of silver (as could courtyard).

This. In particular on Turn 6 you can gain Quarry and have enough cash to buy a $4.

I'm not so sure you need any Silver at all (except I guess for the Fairgrounds card count...). Courtyard/IW opening should be sufficient to let you get your Haggler/Quarry/WV, and then you just spend your 3s on CYs and Crossroads.

See, I thought I needed Silver to race to 6, to get Nobles... :/

Quarry is way better than Silver for getting Nobles.

Nobles aren't particularly vital here anyway. Envoy is about as good as far as drawing power goes, and Worker's Village is far better for actions.

This is a complex kingdom. Lots of interesting choices to make about buying order and tactics.
