Note: 12:50AM game, really bad time to play but I couldn't sleep :P
In this game I went for Silver/Wishing Well/Remake/Highway/Gold
At first, I wasn't sure what strategy was good on this board, then I saw Remake and went "hey, why not!" Then I saw Wishing Well, Then I remade a WW into a Remake and a Remake into a Highway. Then I knew the best strategy for this board would be this 4 card combo. Later I realized I needed a +buy so I got Horse Traders.
Now what's amazing is the first few(3rd-6th) turns with WW. Look at this:
— ^_^_^_^'s turn 5 —
^_^_^_^ plays a Wishing Well.
... drawing 1 card and getting +1 action.
... wishing for a Remake and finding one.
^_^_^_^ plays a Remake.
... trashing an Estate.
... gaining a Wishing Well.
... trashing a Silver.
... gaining a Remake.
^_^_^_^ plays 3 Coppers.
^_^_^_^ buys a Wishing Well.
(^_^_^_^ draws: a Wishing Well, a Silver, and 3 Coppers.)
Every time I was right on my guess due to 'controlling my deck (http://dominionstrategy.com/2011/06/24/guest-article-deck-control/)' ;)
What was my opponent doing during all of this? Well... I'm not too sure, but I think he was trying to Scout out some Crossroads and Highways to report back to his contacts that included 1 group of Smugglers and 2 groups of Horse Traders.
(his actions) 5 Crossroads, 4 Highways, 2 Horse Traders, 1 Remake, 1 Scout, 1 Smugglers
Big Mistakes I made:
— ^_^_^_^'s turn 14 —
^_^_^_^ plays a Wishing Well.
... drawing 1 card and getting +1 action.
... wishing for a Highway but finding a Gold instead.
^_^_^_^ plays a Wishing Well.
... drawing 1 card and getting +1 action.
... wishing for a Highway but finding a Wishing Well instead.
^_^_^_^ plays a Horse Traders.
... getting +1 buy and +$3.
... discarding 2 cards. (gold, province instead of province, province ._. fail.
^_^_^_^ plays a Gold.
^_^_^_^ buys a Wishing Well.
^_^_^_^ buys a Wishing Well.
(^_^_^_^ draws: 3 Highways and 2 Wishing Wells.)
I waited way too long before buying the HT. Also, at times I should've stuck with 1 wish instead of switching between 2. Anyways, this was still a really nice WW game and I'm surprised I did so well since I haven't used WW or Remake in many months (how long was I gone before returning?)
