So we all know that Masquerade and Ambassador are dangerous to have when you're being Possessed. But what about Island, the other pseudo-trasher? If your opponent had a hand of three Estates, Island and a Platinum, would you Island their Platinum away, or buy something costing $5?
-
The problem is, people usually Island things away early.
-
I'd rather they lost a $9 card than I gained a $5, in general, especially when it also means they can't use that Island themselves later.
Of course, depends on the board and how late into the game we are.
-
Obviously it depends on the situation. Do you really want a $5? How vital is that Plat to their deck? How much will removing their Island help them?
By the point I'm Possessing someone with a Plat, getting rid of their Plat is probably the best call.
-
Islanding away the Platinum is probably the best strategy, because it often results in an instant win (when the opponent resigns).
-
Island with Possession is annoying, but not as game-breaking as Masq or Amb. First of all, if you get a chance to play the island, you'll just geet it out of your own deck. Second, they don't get the card they island away, AND if they island away a good card, its' likely they miss out on a chance to have a good turn with your hand.

Well, if they Island away your only Goons, they would have harmed themselves by playing it.

this. I always try to have at least as many if not more turns with my opponents hand than I do with my own, so I want their hand to be nice and juicy.

I'd approve of BoM as an Island :D
