Lots of correct answers, but the actual situation didn't involve Possession, Embargo or non-treasure trashing.

Maybe something with Menagerie?

TRIBUTE DEFENSE!
I hope this is it, and if it is, it really belongs in the best dominion moments thread...

Anyway, to explain a bit:

You have 5 schemes and a royal seal in play, topdeck the curses, then 5 actions, so that the tribute in their hand which you saw when you played cutpurse can't do anything. Their hand is 6 coins and a tribute, and you just bought the penultimate province.

I had 1 Copper left in my deck.
Is this important?

It's not a relevant part of the actual situation, but it rules out Hunting Party and Menagerie for solutions.

Sorry to disappoint you, but it's not. I would have posted it in that thread if it really was best Dominion moments material.

Watchtower in hand, opponent is going for Familiar, you are not.  You used your extra buys to deplete the stack by revealing Watchtower and trashing them.

(and it was not my intention to empty it at all).

No wait, I think I figured it out...  That took longer than it should have.

Well, it ended up having no relevance, because my opponent resigned before it did. If you look at his last turn though, it should be possible to figure out what could have happened and how my Curses instead of Coppers prevented it from happening.

I think Awaclus also said that he had extra buys left over, but he needed exactly 2 Curses for his plan, whatever it was.  If he was just defending against Familiar, he would have used every buy and trashed as many Curses as possible.

maybe it's a meta puzzle, and his plan all along was to post here to confuse us.

It's not, there actually is a recent game that I played in which I bought two Curses instead of Coppers.

I want to give a hint, but I feel as though Awaclus is the only one who should really do that

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

Goons/Watchtower game, and both of you have buys to spare and are buying up Copper for points so the pile is low. If your opponent depletes Copper on his turn, you lose. You calculate that he has 7 buys possible from his deck. You buy Copper until there are 8 left, and 2 Curses exactly so that he can't empty that pile either(but you need exactly those 2 points to win). Having 8+ buys yourself, you will definitely be able to win next turn.

Hmm, you want some trash fodder, but not something which can be discarded by Cutpurse or Taxman?

Similarly to Davio's suggestion: You want to guarantee starting your next turn with a 5 card hand (because of Vault or Madman perhaps) and opponent is playing Cutpurse or Taxman?

Yes! This is what actually happened.

Powering up Vagrants to Labs is a much cooler explanation.
