Kudos to TheMirrorMan for playing this awesome game with me.  It's not often that I leave a game thinking, wow, I just got outplayed hard.

Code: [Select]

Poor House, Crossroads, Secret Chamber, Stonemason, Loan, Island, Nomad Camp, Treasure Map, Journeyman, Farmland

I play an unexciting Journeyman/BM.

TheMirrorMan on the other hands puts together a beautiful deck.  The key cards in his engine are Stonemason, Crossroads and Poor House.  Loan is used for a bit of acceleration in regards to trashing and Island is also used as a $4 VP card.  But the meat of the engine is present in Stonemason, Crossroads and Poor House.  By opening with Loan and Stonemason Overpay MM's deck is able to remove all copper by Turn 8 while having 3 Crossroads and 3 Poor Houses.  At that point it's just game over as he can play 2 Crossroads while still having the requisite amount of actions to play 2 Poor Houses.  That really isn't hard to do in his deck and he cruises to an easy victory getting 5 Provinces and 4 Islands in 15 Turns.

Thanks for the kind words shark_bait

Well it was the first thing that came to my mind. Crossroads has a lot of support here (Island/Farmland), so Journeyman/CrossRoads seems plausible.
But with loan on the board and those very cheap cards ... I didn't think twice Island can be used to set aside the Stonemasons once all the money trashing has been done.

BTW : kids, don't try this on a colony game
