Threw the game because of misplay

Kingdom:
Code: [Select]
Native Village, Secret Chamber, Feodum, Scout, Smithy, Trader, Young Witch, Horn of Plenty, Hunting Party, Merchant Ship, Peddler
Bane: Native Village

In this game, I go for Trader-Feodum with a few peddlers for trashing, while my opponent goes for HoP engine with Hunting Party and Native Village. So guess why I lost? I shall leave it as a puzzle to you ;)
(By the way, I know, because my opponent told me once game over)
But anyway, I got very frustrated after I knew I could have won but lost.

Edited to show bane

On turn 21, you could have bought a Silver to 3-pile, if I'm reading the log correctly.

Correct! That was fast. How did you manage to count the number of Silvers, including what was in the trash? Seems quite difficult...

I looked at the last turn, your opponent received only one Silver from Trader.

I'm not a top tier player, but I think I would pick up two Traders early, maybe three and after that on 4$ I'd aggressively go for Feoda, Silver on 3$. I think you want to trash one or two Feoda (probably three when uncontested) with your Traders because that gains you 7 Silvers, which should be huge.

A peddler to trash is probably nice, but I don't think you want three Native Villages and the Hunting Party.

You've actually got a lot of obscure ways to lose in that kingdom with some combinations of
- making the wrong choice for cards onto/off the native village mat
- trashing the last native village in your deck so you can't get cards off the mat
- putting the wrong cards onto the deck with secret chamber
- putting the cards onto the deck in the wrong order with secret chamber
- revealing a bane so you can't gain a card from young witch
- revealing a trader to change the gaining of curses/silvers
- forgetting to buying a copper that you can trade for a silver
- trashing cards with trader that change your hunting party draws
- taking cards off the native village mat at the wrong time to change hunting party draws
- not emptying the silver supply by trashing too small a card
- trashing a foedum that leads to a loss in points rather than an increase
- trashing a scout/hunting party for silvers instead of using to draw
- triggering a reshuffle of your deck with scout, hunting party, or native village
