Game Reports / Re: Countering the rebuild

« on: July 16, 2013, 03:15:47 am »

I have a hard time believing Minion could compete with Rebuild on many boards. I also highly doubt it's ever worth buying an IGG in a Rebuild strategy; giving one Curse once is not comparable to non-terminal +~2.5VP.

Me, I'll bank on the Minions from now on in a straight-up matchup.  With IGG in the mix, I don't know, though.  Watno is right that your opponent played Rebuild really poorly.

Reading my gamelog again, I agree he played it poorly. He should indeed have turned provinces into provinces and I would have stood no chance...

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Saboteur

« on: July 16, 2013, 03:12:05 am »

Lost a game 2 days ago where key, cards were: chapel, lab, bazaar, saboteur, tournament, swindler, colony.
Having a very short vision, I decided to go for a fast tournament + province + labs support (terminal swindler), without trashing my deck, since I thought that prizes could not be swindled (which , as I later read, is wrong).
My opponent went for very heavy trashing and after 11 turns or so his deck consisted of 2 saboteurs, labs and bazaars and he kept drawing his deck every turn. Since there was no + buy I could only buy one card and he could trash 2 each turn. Being trapped, I resigned.

In short: Saboteur can be very good if u have a reliable engine where you can play saboteur as a terminal every turn.

Game Reports / Countering the rebuild

« on: July 14, 2013, 11:19:22 am »

This is one of the best games I have ever played.

Important cards : IGG, Forge, Rebuild, Noble brigand.
Seeing the Forge on the board, I realise that a IGG rush might be useless. Also, vs rebuild IGG doesn't win either. However, when I see my opponent going for rebuild I realise he'll never hit 7 again to buy a forge so I combine IGG, some duchies, some money and a noble brigand to keep his gold low and let him focus pure on rebuild to win the game.  He gets stuck with an empty duchy pile , low money deck and trashes his estates for other estates. I buy the IGG's and last provinces and win.

All feedback welcome!

Game Reports / From hero to zero

« on: June 16, 2013, 06:53:06 am »

Hi all,

This must be the worst game my opponent ever had. Board contains alchemist, highway, pirate ship, ghost ship, bishop and knights and some other cards.
I try to build up a "in your ass" engine while my opponent goes for regular cards to fast province.
As soon as he hits up 3 provinces and gets an expand (to expand all his 5coin cards) I am doubting about resigning.
Until suddenly my engine starts working, I draw my whole deck every hand and my opponent gets:
- Knighted 3 times per turn
- ghostshipped.

I buy + bishop a gold every turn.

I realise I made some mistakes here and all feedback is welcome.
