http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201203/29/game-20120329-081059-80eb2be1.htmlDear yuuna, you got the dream swindler hit in this game, trashing my potion in a crazy kingdom before I could play it and replacing it with a Treasure Map at a point when I had committed to Witch and Swindler. Instead of doing the sensible thing and taking a replacement potion, I thought "ahh, what the hell" and then...
— yuuna's turn 5 —
yuuna plays a Swindler.
... getting +$2.
... perdhapley turns up a Potion and trashes it.
... replacing perdhapley's Potion with a Treasure Map.
yuuna plays a Silver and 2 Coppers.
yuuna buys a Witch.
(yuuna draws: an Estate, a Potion, a Transmute, a Curse, and a Copper.)
— perdhapley's turn 6 —
perdhapley plays a Swindler.
... getting +$2.
... yuuna turns up an Estate and trashes it.
... replacing yuuna's Estate with an Estate.
perdhapley plays 3 Coppers.
perdhapley buys a Treasure Map.
(perdhapley reshuffles.)
(perdhapley draws: an Estate, a Witch, 2 Coppers, and a Silver.)
— perdhapley's turn 7 —
perdhapley plays a Witch.
... drawing 2 cards.
... yuuna gains a Curse.
perdhapley plays a Silver and 3 Coppers.
perdhapley buys a Witch.
(perdhapley draws: a Swindler, 2 Treasure Maps, an Estate, and a Copper.)
— perdhapley's turn 8 —
perdhapley plays a Treasure Map.
... trashing the Treasure Map.
... trashing a Treasure Map from hand.
... gaining 4 Golds on the deck.
(perdhapley draws: 4 Golds and a Copper.)
...This was followed by me trashing your Witch (via Swindler) on turn 11 and your own Swindler on turn 14 (before you even had the chance to hit something else of mine) while avoiding collision with my
four terminal actions on all but two turns, leading to a 7/3 curse split. I have never seen a strategy so driven by dumb luck, and I'm truly sorry you had to be on the receiving end.
