http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20111204-110639-f9e5fc6d.htmlHere's a ridiculous game that featured the dreaded King's Court-Scheme and the even more dreaded King's Court-Goons-Masquerade, which backfires, destroying its own deck. Bear with the fog of Masquerade...
--- Elyv's turn 21 ---
...
(Elyv draws: a Masquerade, a Fishing Village, 2 King's Courts, and a Goons.)
This and 1 copper is Elyv's entire deck at this point, and I'm pretty sure the preceding turns have been working up to this, since Elyv isn't even buying anything for VP with Goons.
--- yoz's turn 22 ---
yoz puts a King's Court, a Scheme, and a Masquerade back on the deck (first on top).
(yoz reshuffles.)
(yoz draws: a Masquerade, a Scheme, a King's Court, a Crossroads, and an Ambassador.)
On my turn, I play some Masquerade followed by some Goons -- probably not the correct order, but Elyv ends up with 2 King's Courts and a Masquerade in hand. Then Elyv's combo goes poorly from this standpoint, as I save the copper I receive in Masquerade #1 to pass back in Masquerade #3:
--- Elyv's turn 22 ---
Elyv plays a King's Court.
... and plays a King's Court.
... ... and plays a Masquerade.
... ... ... (Elyv reshuffles.)
... ... ... drawing 2 cards.
... ... ... trashing a Crossroads.
... ... and plays the Masquerade again.
... ... ... drawing 1 card.
... ... ... trashing an Ambassador.
... ... and plays the Masquerade a third time.
... ... ... drawing nothing.
... and plays the King's Court again.
... ... but plays no action with it.
... and plays the King's Court a third time.
... ... but plays no action with it.
Elyv resigns from the game (client disconnected or unresponsive).
The final accounting is:
#2 Elyv: resigned (1st); 22 turns
[4 cards] 2 King's Courts, 1 Masquerade, 1 Copper
