This was a quick game.  I had the identical strategy as my opponent (Masquerade/Feast to open, going for Bazaars/Nobles).  My opponent hit 5 coins on turn 4 for a Bazaar, and I got stuck on 3 coins for Silver.  I think I lost at that point.

Ignoring the last turn, should I have played anything differently?

You really shouldn't have let him play masq on you when you had no estates in hand on turn 4.

I could be wrong, but I dont think feast is worth it here

The only reason why Feast would be worth it in this kingdom is that it allows for the chance of gaining 2x Bazaar after the first reshuffle whereas it's impossible with a Masq/Silver opening.

T3: Silver + 3 Coppers -> Bazaar
T4: Masq + 5 coppers (1 snagged from opponent) -> Bazaar?

Opening Masq/Feast might give you that chance, but it would be rather unlikely.  Masq could easily draw Feast dead.

Masq/Silver has an excellent chance of reaching $5, and the Silver remains useful while the Feast is just gone.

Oh, right. I forgot about that.

Masquerade draws Silver... high $5 yourself
Masquerade draws Feast... slap forehead
