Some (more) additional comments:

Game 3
I think the Hagglers made the difference, giving me gold and Mining Villages.
Yeah on second look I didn't give haggler enough credit.  I really thought explorer was the right play (don't get to say that much and be right).

Game 6
funkiemonk took always some time to look at the board, before his first buy, while I played kind of reckless. I did not notice the Vineyard, lost the split and the game. Some bad luck though, always hitting my Masquerades dead. I really think they should be able to clean the deck from the curses effectively.
I was surprised about that too, I expected to be passed a lot more curses.

And as for game 7 in response to shark_bait, it looks like there was some engine possibility with bridge and walled village on the board.  I remember wondering if trying for some bridge engine was the best play, but I was not comfortable in my ability to play it right, so I decide to keep it simple and hope for the best.

Funkiemonk wins over Lowpants in a very close 4-3 round.

Game 1 - Funkiemonk
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201301/01/game-20130101-120809-0bc3f9ce.html
Pretty boring board with Horse Traders and Cache.

Game 2 - Lowpants
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201301/01/game-20130101-121524-dc769bb4.html
I try to go for a Gardens rush with Jack on a colony board.  Chapel helps my opponent stay ahead by grabbing provinces and a few colonies.

Game 3 - Lowpants
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201301/01/game-20130101-122236-a63df469.html
An interesting familiar/P-stone game.  On turn 11 I choose familiar over P-stone, which I feel was a mistake.  A close game.

Game 4 - Funkiemonk
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201301/01/game-20130101-123342-54a88abb.html
Torturer-chain game.  I have some good turns with smugglers allowing me to grab more mining villages and torturers.

Game 5 - Lowpants
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201301/01/game-20130101-124554-6b763f9c.html
I get smoked in this Scrying Pool-dominated game.  He wins the split 7-3 and keeps me pinned for most of the game.

Game 6 - Funkiemonk
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201301/01/game-20130101-125815-fc0f090e.html
A Vineyards-dominated game where we manage only 8 action cards each at the end.  Young Witch is the difference maker in this one.

Game 7 - Funkiemonk
Forgot to save the log.  A standard Tournament game with Chapel.  I get the Tournament luck by pulling the first collision to snag a Followers.  Pretty much gg at that point.

Overall very well played on Lowpants's part.  A shame the final game came down to who could get luckier with Tournament.  I enjoyed most of these kingdoms, Game 1 had the only real dead board.

Funkiemonk wins 4-1

Game 1: Funkiemonk 30 - benjigab 25
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/22/game-20121222-150626-d45df51c.html
Ambassador and Jack, with some fishing villages thrown in for the occasional cute draw with Jack.

Game 2: benjigab 61 - Funkiemonk 41
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/22/game-20121222-152244-8ff3f0bf.html
It would be easy to blame this loss on the turn 4 sea hag my opponent pulls from the BM deck, but my remodel open wasn't helping me either.

Game 3: Funkiemonk 42 - benjigab 27
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/22/game-20121222-153402-a11ea018.html
My opponent goes for fool's gold while I try for watchtower/outpost.  With Inn being the only source of +actions, outpost ends up being pretty useless for both of us.  I think Harvest is what makes the difference here.

Game 4: Funkiemonk 50 - benjigab 39
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/22/game-20121222-154544-acc5634d.html
I'm surprised I won this game as I felt I was outplayed.  I had better swindler luck, hitting his swindler turn 4 and his followers turn 16.  I think bag of gold really helped here as did the strong final turn.

Game 5: Funkiemonk 38 - benjigab 25
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/22/game-20121222-155614-cac40e27.html
Also very surprised to have won this.  He gets a jump on the grand markets and KC.  His turn 18 and some end game luck helps me here for sure.

Round 2: Funkiemonk wins 4-1

Game 1: Funkiemonk 16 - Michael Harris 37
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/10/game-20121210-212517-eb6d4257.html
He gets his Watchtower engine going quite nicely and crushes me.  The 5/2 opening didn't help me (we played identical starting hands after this game).

Game 2: Funkiemonk 35 - Michael Harris 32
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/10/game-20121210-213017-e2912018.html
Mirror match with witch.  I had a little more treasure, which may have helped with the 5-3 province split.

Game 3: Funkiemonk 66 - Michael Harris 58
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/10/game-20121210-214146-755ccd28.html
We both mess up pretty bad in this Library game.  I wait too long to get any +buy and also opt for two early colony buys that slow down my engine too much mid-late game.  He had a chance to win on Turn 16 if he hadn't discarded the FV.

Game 4: Funkiemonk 37 - Michael Harris 35
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/10/game-20121210-214933-7a6a52b6.html
Boring Highway game.  I start buying extra barons in a desperate attempt to catch up, which leads to a very, very lucky last turn to eek out a victory.

Game 5: Funkiemonk 44 - Michael Harris 32
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201212/10/game-20121210-215719-67208abf.html
Considered going double tactician, but with ghost ship and a lack of help for secret chamber I decide to pretty much go BM+Ghost ship.  I mess up bad on turn 14 and return a province to my deck, only to be sabotaged.  I'm not sure if I misclicked or just wasn't thinking (probably the latter).

All in all I could have played better.  I had some luck on my side; he had better decks in games 3 and 4.  If those games had gone his way I would be down 1-3 going into game 5, obviously pretty hard to come back from.  A well played match...hope your wall doesn't have any holes in it, Michael  ;)

I have sent two messages and have yet to hear from Vaivraza.
