This is about as bad as I've ever lost a game! I'm playing against one of my an IRL buddy that moved away while we face time. We got some pretty good laughs out of this game! I get 5/2 vs. his 4/3 and go for Rebuild/Embargo and he goes for Swindler/Swindler. I figure with a Rebuild opening I can plow through points real fast, Swindling my Coppers doesn't really hurt, however Outpost is a pretty nasty target for my 5s.
I Embargo Silver on T3 since I don't need any economy, and I figure that will slow him some. I am able to get 3 Rebuilds while his deck is just colliding swindlers. I figure its over at this point, and i should be able to win pretty quickly. I continue to make a Rebuild vs. BM type deck; I get a few estates and cellars so i can play my Rebuilds more often.
While I'm building this common deck archetype he Swindles all Rebuilds into Outpost on Turn 4/6/9. Suddenly I'm left with a deck with NO economy built to play a key card it neither has nor can afford. Obviously things didn't go very well from here.
I think I got pretty unlucky here, but Swindler is not bad against Rebuild, especially with a really bad 5. Also I think Market Square would crush Swindler/Swindler on a 4/3, but I thought Rebuild would be fast enough, but it wasn't.
