http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201303/05/game-20130305-093414-73164de3.htmlI overlooked Warehouse/TM on this board because of the potential to build an Alchemist stack and because IGG looked interesting. I ended up staying the course, but instead of playing the classic IGG rush, I just gave him a bunch of those curses and then started trying to pick up Provinces as well as Bishop points.
Everything about this seems wrong - he ought to be able to trash the Curses I give him on my Bishops; the IGGs are only $1 in my hand; I only have time to get a fairly small Alchemist stack going and then I rely on a couple of Warehouses to find my Potion. Meanwhile, he seems to choke really hard despite the four early Golds.
Am I crazy for trying this? Can I switch to any other meaningful strategy once I've missed the combo and chosen this opening?
