Double Embargo all the way across the sky

My opponent opens Trading Post with $5, and I look down at $3, so I figure my best chance is to make a fat deck and Embargo the Provinces multiple times so that I can win by attrition and/or my opponent being thrust into an unfamiliar situation. Luckily this manages to work out, although on Turn 9 I think I should Embargo the Estates and buy a Province.

Seems weird. Buying trader apprentice then trashing to draw to 8+ trader and getting silver for curses seems like a much better plan.

Did you consider getting even more Embargoes and playing them on Gold, Duchies and Traders? You can give yourself a benefit for buying anything Embargoed if you've got a Trader in your hand. It forces your opponent to follow you into Traders and he'd be coming at the strategy from behind.

Edit: I'm honestly not sure how well this would work, but it's an interesting idea.
