Title: Trashing game I FUBAR'ed
Post by: ddubois on June 14, 2012, 07:08:25 pm
Man, I really screwed this up bad.  I trashed harder/better than my opponent, but without a good idea of what deck I was trying to get down to.  I realized after the fact that my plan was dependent on some kind of cantrip card (Mengarie would have been glorious, but Wishing Well or even Great Hall would have worked), which was not present, and which Warehouse cannot pretend to be.  The score is deceiving; my deck was a total pile at the end, as the garbage deck I built initially got desparately bloated with a bunch of green garbage.

In retrospect, is trying to get down the golden 5pt/turn deck the better route?  How fast can you get there with Remake/Warehouse->Bishop instead of Chapel/Bishop?

On turn 7 you have 8 cards: 1 Remake, 4 Silver, 1 Warehouse, 0 Estate, 2 Copper.  You aren't that far from a golden deck.  You just need a bishop and a gold and then some trashing.  You should be able to thin your deck pretty quickly, since your opponent has 3 bishops and you should have 1.

So yes, you can make a golden deck without chapel.  It's a lot easier if your opponent has a bishop or 3 in this case.
