Very interesting (if slow) game: http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120724-145029-b661e0d1.html

With no +buy, it doesn't take long for our Bishops to run out of targets. We both see that Treasure Map is the only way to gain multiple cards at once; he executes it first, and repeatedly. The interesting thing is that Treasure Map nets 4 cards with 2 buys, so it's only a little better than just buying cards outright.

By the time I'm trying to end the game, he's gaining 8 points per turn; I'm gaining 5. I have a 12 VP token lead, which by my calculations will end the game just barely in my favor. It plays out a little different, because he accidentally forgets to play his Oasis before using all his actions (twice), and I misclick and trash my second Bishop instead of my Province at one point, risking me not actually drawing my deck.

It is only interesting if you don't have to play it...
