In a post-Chapel deck, your terminal draws will collide a lot if you have more than one: let's say your deck is 2 Coppers, 3 Silvers, one Gold, 2 Margraves and one Chapel - I think this scenario sounds pretty realistic. No matter how your deck is shuffled, your second Margrave will always either collide with your first one or miss the reshuffle. In other words, if you have two Margraves, you are playing one of them per each reshuffle, which is also the case if you have only one. But if you had another Silver instead of the second Margrave, your worst possible hand would be improved from $8 to $10 (which can be relevant when you want a second Gold before greening) and your best possible hand would be improved from $11 to $13 (which is very relevant).I would be surprised if the warehouse and cartogs add anything to a chapelled deck. Your deck should be fairly thin to start with, and any bonus from playing your margs more should be offset by drawing your extra actions dead.
So the ideal deck would have a couple of Margraves, Chapel, and a few silver/golds? I had one Margrave, one Warehouse, and one Cartographer. Thanks for the input; we kind of play in a hermetically sealed bubble against ourselves, so it's cool to get ideas of how to play better.
Getting the second Margrave is timely when you have about 16 cards in your deck, but that will take a while if you go for the Chapel.
