Menagerie's good, but it shouldn't be this good.

Turn 13: I play 3 activated Menageries. 4 uniques, then 6 uniques, then 7 uniques. A Junk Dealer between the second and third lets me trash an extra Copper, but it was still very lucky.

Turn 15: I play 3 activated Menageries, in a row, without needing to use Junk Dealer at all. 4 uniques, then 6 uniques, then 8 uniques.

I don't know if this shows shuffle luck or that Menagerie activates a lot more than you'd expect without you needing to go out of your way very much. But it was a couple of very ridiculous turns,

Dark Ages really helps out the Cornucopia cards; especially Menagerie. I have had similar luck, too.

Is not really surprising, given that the only non-uniques in T13 are 4 Coppers and Conspirators, and the latter were cantrips at this point, so they don't actually count. In T15 the only non-uniques are Conspirators, so Menageries were close to bound to activate (unless you are extremely unlucky).

I would say you did a good job building the deck if activating Menageries was the goal, not that luck had anything to do with it (ok, turn 13 getting JD before the Copper repetition was a bit lucky, but not huge).

EDIT: I miscounted, in T15 you had some Victory cards repeated, but very few repetitions, so again, you maybe had some luck, but nothing ridiculous.

Menagerie is not good enough for me. I want it to be dominant in every game, because it's so much fun  ;D
