Man, your Jack deck ran awfully slow... seems like you should have been able to easily outpace that. Although the Upgrades are kind of
That said, that's kind of awesome.
This was my thought - first Province on, what, turn 13? That seems pretty slow for a Jack deck.
Does anyone have a theory on why Watno hadn't gotten 4 Provinces by turn 13 or 14 (or am I misremembering the Jack baseline)?
Would Upgrades slow down the Jack? Is it better to just buy Jacks and money?
Plus, Turn 7:
Watno: turn 7
Watno plays JackOfAllTrades
Watno gains Silver
Watno discards Estate
Watno plays 3 Copper, 2 Silver
Watno buys Gold
Watno gains Gold
Watno draws Copper, JackOfAllTrades, Copper, Silver, Silver
He discarded instead of drew to trash the Estate, and he already had $6 in hand to buy a Gold. (Maybe he was hoping to draw a Silver to get a Province here.) That could possibly make a difference between a Province buy later. Actually he drew Silver, Estate, Copper, Copper, Gold for Turn 10 and could only buy a Gold.
He seemed to draw a lot of $5 hands.. there was a Duchy purchase on Turn 12, and that was the first victory card purchase. There were $5 hands before that. Maybe just unlucky?
